The 12 Shops of Christmas
A 12-day holiday extravaganza filled with festivities, treats and discounts with The Shops of Ruskin

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, something special from The Red Bird Gallery. The Shops of Ruskin is excited to collectively present “The 12 Shops of Christmas” December 3-14. When you choose to shop with The Shops of Ruskin this holiday season and make a minimum purchase of $25 in each shop during December 3-14, you’ll receive a case of champagne at the end of your shopping spree! It’s that simple.

What a perfect way to shop with local artisans, take advantage of amazing discounts and receive a festive and decadent treat for yourself at the end of your 12-day shopping spree. Shopping cards will be available throughout each shop beginning on December 3 to keep track of your purchases. Your shopkeeper will stamp your card when you spend $25 or more in their store. After 12 stamps, you’ll receive a case of champagne from Modica Market.

While strolling and shopping through The Shops of Ruskin, you’ll also enjoy festive lights and decorations in Ruskin Park, live music from Sinfonia, and specials from each shop. Each shop will offer discounts ranging from 10-20% off purchases, refreshments, and prizes on their designated day. For example, on December 5, FOCUS will offer a complimentary photo booth strip for you and your loved ones with your purchase.

Be sure to pick up a Shops of Ruskin tee shirt for the perfect stocking stuffer! Tees are available for sale in each shop and proceeds go to benefit The Ruskin Place Artist Guild - A not for profit organization with the mission of supporting and promoting culture in Seaside, Florida through complimentary art related events.

The Shops of Ruskin will be open from 10-6pm December 3-14. Please check our Facebook page daily for details: http://www.facebook.com/theshopsofruskin and www.ruskinplaceartistguild.com for more information.
