Note: Starting in 2023, we will no longer distribute wristbands for "Wristband Deals" at this event. Traditionally, the wristband was necessary to get in-store offers specific to the 10-day shopping event. Now, all you have to do is mention Bring A Friend while checking out to get the deal!

Daily Raffles

We have a ton of amazing giveaways! Raffles will continue to be virtual in 2023, but this year you will only be able to enter using a QR code available when you attend the event. The code will be available to scan at Customer Service, on The Green by Timberland, and near Kate Spade at Streetside. Not great with QR codes? Someone at Customer Service can help get you entered.

Premium Bags Sponsored by Cotopaxi

PREMIUM BAGS ARE SOLD OUT

Can't make it to the Free Bag Giveaway on Saturday, November 11? You can still get a bag! We sell 1000 premium bags prior to the event! Each bag costs $10. All bags include a Settlers Green Coupon Book with over 35 store offers. Twenty of the 1000 bags have a $50 Settlers Green Gift Card hidden in them to get lucky winners a head start on their shopping spree. For 2023, we are exploring new ideas for what will be in the bag, which traditionally includes swag items and additional coupons that differ from what's in the free shopping bags given away on Saturday, November 11.

The premium bag goes on sale on Monday, October 2, 2023 at 10 a.m. A button will be added here prior to the sale. Once the bags are sold out, everyone that purchases a bag will receive an email from the Event Director with directions on how and where to pick up premium bag orders.

Premium Bag FAQs

Why should I buy a premium bag? Premium bags allow shoppers to get a bag regardless of the day they plan to shop during the 10-day Bring A Friend event. Premium bags can be picked up daily between November 3-12. They are not the same style bag as the Free Bag Giveaway bags. Premium bags include more swag and gifts then the Free Bag Giveaway bags.

What is the free shopping bag? We have a Free Bag Giveaway on Saturday, November 11 at 8 a.m. in the Courtyard at Settlers Green. The bags are free to the first 1000 shoppers in line.

What is the difference between the two bags? The Premium Bag includes additional swag and gifts that don't get included in the Free Bag Giveaway. The bags are completely different styles. One of the 1000 Free Bag Giveaway bags has a $500 Settlers Green Gift Card hidden in it; Twenty of the 1000 bags have a $50 Settlers Green Gift Card hidden in them.

What is the same about the two bags? Both the premium and free bags come with a Settlers Green Coupon Book.

Do you ship the premium bags? No. All bags can be picked up between November 3-12 during Bring A Friend.

How do I know where to go to get my bag? Once all bags are sold out, an email will be sent from the Event Director, laura@ovpmanagement.com.

How long does the premium bag sale run? It starts at 10 a.m. on October 2, 2023 and we usually sell out within hours of the start of the sale. Set a reminder on your phone!

Can I buy more than one bag? Yes, you can buy for yourself and anyone that you plan to shop with during Bring A Friend. Simply change the quantity one you hit the Add To Cart button during the Bag Sale.

We use PayPal to as our Point of Sale. I don't have PayPal? You can use your PayPal account or any major credit card to purchase the card on the PayPal website.
