We give away 2000 shopping bags for free on Saturday, November 11, at 8 a.m. in the Courtyard at Settlers Green Outlet Village by Timberland and Kay Jewelers. A line tends to form as early as 6:30 a.m., however, we recommend showing up by 7:30 to get in line. The 2000 bags take 30 minutes or less to be given away. One bag will include a $500 shopping spree and 5 more bags will have $50 shopping sprees. Bags include a coupon book, treat and a variety of swag.
What about those wristbands?
This year, wristbands will NOT be in the bags since many shoppers last year had already picked one up prior to the bag giveaway. Wristbands will be handed out separately at the same table where you take your bag in case you need one! You won't need to stand in two lines!
What do the wristbands do?
Wristbands make you eligible for in-store discounts. If you're wearing a wristband in a store that is participating in Bring A Friend with an offer, the associate will give you the discount at the time of purchase when you show your wristband.
When and where can I get a wristband?
We reserve 2000 wristbands for shoppers in line at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 11, so you can get it then. Wristbands can also be picked up at Customer Service starting on November 3 when sales begin during Customer Service Hours. Those exact times will be posted at a later date.
We have 10,000 wristbands to give out, so we hope that covers everyone! We encourage recycling if you leave after a day of shopping, there will be a dropbox at Customer Service so you can pass along savings opportunities to fellow shoppers!
Do I have to wait in line for a bag on Saturday?
No. If you don't want to wait in line, you can purchase a bag in advance for $5 during our BAF Bag Sale starting on Monday, October 2 at 10 a.m. Bags are purchased online only through PayPal.
The reserved bag(s) can be picked up at designated times during Bring A Friend at Customer Service. This year, we'll have 500 bags available to purchase in advance. The money raised goes directly to a local charity. We only sell 500, so if you don't get the chance to reserve one, you should plan to stand in line for a free one on November 11. Reserved bags DO have wristbands in them.
Bring A Friend Bag Sale
Bags go on sale on Monday, October 2, at 10 a.m. Reserve as many bags as you'd like, but keep in mind fellow Bring A Friend shoppers that want to purchase for their group, too. We discourage purchasing greater than 15 bags. Bag pick up is at Customer Service on designated times and dates. That information will go out to you from our marketing team via email after you purchase your bag and all bags are sold.
$5 Purchase A Bag - On Sale Monday, October 2 at 10 a.m.
Sales take place November 3-13, so that shoppers can still get savings the week leading into Bring A Friend. Savings are activated by wearing a wristband that we distribute at Customer Service (see above).
Sales information will be conveniently posted here in early October so you can view prior to shopping. We'll also have an itinerary of places to go during off-shopping hours including restaurants, attractions and scenic spots.
Bring A Friend is like the Superbowl of shopping here in North Conway. The town will be bustling with shoppers, primarily women, on their annual pilgrimage with friends and family for reunions and special celebrations. It is a very festive atmosphere. Whether you're kicking off your holiday shopping or just looking for something special for yourself, the stores will roll out their red carpets and are ready to give you some deals!
