Hayes Block Party

Azalea

Warm up those pipes for Azalea’s karaoke contest, where the best crooner sings his or her heart out for a high-pitch-worthy $500 gift card! Now that’s the kind of tune we like to hear!

Where: Azalea, 411 Hayes Street (at Gough Street); 415-861-9888.

Dish

This stylish Hayes Valley boutique is inviting a few of its local designer friends to the party, including The Podolls, Kathryn McCarron, and Giovanna Torrico, for us to snag the Bay Area-made threads. The store’s usual merch will bare sliced price tags at 20% off (excluding jewelry and denim, womp). Toast to your savings with libations and nibbles.

Rand and Statler

Like Welcome Stranger, Rand + Statler will also be letting us get in on its new merch at 15% off. But unlike other shops, we can purchase some of Hello! Lucky’s adorable stationery (like the San Francisco holiday cards!), as it’ll be on the scene for an exclusive pop-up shop. Bottles of white wine will also be a-flowin’.

Where: Rand + Statler, 425 Hayes Street (at Gough Street); 415-634-0881.

Reliquary

At Reliquary, we can shake off that over-spending guilt because every purchase of $150 or more grants us a penny-saving 15% off discount on the entire sale. Talk about our saving’s grace! And if that awesome deal doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies already, the spiked cider certainly will do the trick.

When: Friday, December 7, 5 to 9 p.m.

Where: Reliquary, 527 Octavia Street (between Hayes and Grove streets); 415-431-4000.
