Yes, Virginia there is a gift card

Tomorrow, anyone named Virginia can receive a $10 gift card to Macy's.

Weird promotion? Perhaps.

The department store has proclaimed tomorrow as National Believe Day and will give any Virginia who comes into the store a free gift card. Macy's will also unveil their new animated holiday film, "Yes, Virginia," at 7 p.m. on CBS.

For those of you not named Virginia, don't fret. Bring a stamped letter to Macy's, addressed to Santa at The North Pole, and drop it in their Santa letter box. For each letter received, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (up to $1 million).

Give a Christmas gift to your least favorite body part

I just wracked up the savings at Macy's One-Day Sale.

Almost everything is 50 percent off or seriously reduced in price. On top of that, I saved $15 off my purchases with Wow Passes I got from several recent Enterprise papers. Grab some of your back issues and get going!

While you're there, don't forget to pick up a little something for yourself. This week, I read a great tip in Melina Gerosa Bellows' "The Fun Book for Christmas." Bellows writes: Give a Christmas gift to your least favorite body part.

Hmmm, that means some slimming jeans for me!

What are you getting yourself?

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Do something to make a child's Christmas brighter this year.

Macy's announced today they will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for every letter to Santa brought in to the store's "Believe Station" - up to $1 million.

(On a side note, Macy's will sponsor the new holiday movie, "Yes, Virginia," at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11 on CBS. The animated special will retell the classic "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.")

Estee Lauder cuts Prescriptives brand

If you are a fan of Estee Lauder's Prescriptive brand, it's time to start stocking up!

Estee Lauder, the maker of Clinique and Bobbi Brown cosmetics, announced yesterday they are stopping production of the Prescriptives brand Jan. 31.

Prescriptives, carried at Macy's, can be purchased in stores and online while inventory lasts, according to a statement issued Friday by an Estee Lauder spokesperson.

Estee Lauder decided to do away with Prescriptives because of under performing sales, the statement said. The Prescriptives brand has been an Estee Lauder institution for 30 years.
