It’s a Booty-ful Deal
Beginning Monday, December 12, and lasting through Friday, December 16, Calico Gals will have a new “Booty Deal” each day. You will get the details in a daily email or on the Gals’ Facebook page.
If you find it irresistable and just have to have it, call the gals (or send an email) and say, “Bag My Booty!” That’s right – the deal will go into a Booty Bag with your name on it. In addition, Calico Gals will add a little surprise “Booty Freebie” to your bag, just for the fun of it.
The first time you call, the gals will take your credit card number and keep it securely. They may not have to use it if Santa stops in on Saturday the 17th or Sunday the 18th to pay for your booty and pick it up. Oh my goodness! Santa’s shopping is done! You will receive a bag of booty that you like, with a few extra surprises thrown in!
If Santa (or an elf) can’t make it in over the weekend, the gals will charge your card on Monday, December 19, and hold your bag for you. You still get the booty and the surprises!
You can play in Oswego too. All Booty Bags are filled in Syracuse, but we will deliver them to the Oswego store.
The Booty Deals are limited to the stock on hand, so call or email early if you want to bag your booty!
