TODAY ONLY - Get Your Gifts Wrapped for Free!

Want all your gifts to be magically wrapped and looking this beautiful in time for the holiday gifting season without spending too much time or money? 

Samsung's got you covered! So you can have more time and money to be merry!

On Sunday, December 18, 2016 starting from 11AM to until around 8PM or so (I would get there earlier than later, they might leave early), Samsung is providing expert gift wrappers who will make your presents delightfully wrapped for FREE!

This includes the materials as well, which is the box, wrapping paper, ribbon and the gift tag!

There are size restrictions for your gifts. They are the following:

15" x 9" x 2"

17" x 11" x 2 2/12 "

24" x 14"

4" x 4" x 4"

There does not appear to be a limit to the number of gifts you can bring, but I wouldn't go overboard. 

Be prepared to lug your wrapped gifts back home. 

Some gifts might leave in a bigger box than they came in, so you might end up looking like a Samsung Santa with lots of blue boxed gifts.

As for the options of materials, it appears that they have only blue wrapping paper, silver or gray ribbon, silver, gold and one other color for the gift tag.

As you explore the cool Samsung experience flagship with virtual reality experiences, they will wrap your gifts.

Come back with your ticketed number to pick it up.

Where is this all taking place?

Samsung 837!

The gift wrapping will be on the 2nd floor.

Check it out at 

837 Washington Street,

New York, NY 

Have a blast,

MTA nostalgia train returns to NYC for holiday season

By Lauren Cook   lauren.cook@amny.com 

December 9, 2016

A New York City holiday tradition is back  -- and no, we’re not talking about the windows at Macy’s.

The MTA’s nostalgia train is once again rolling down the city’s subway tracks for the month of December, adding a little holiday old-timiness to the transit system.

For just a swipe of your MetroCard ($2.75) you can hop on the “Shoppers Special” line and take a trip back in time.

This year’s nostalgia train is made up of eight R1/9 cars, also called City Cars, the MTA said. The cars served lines that are no longer used – including the AA, BB, CC, EE and H – from the 1930s through the 1970s.

“We owe a great deal to these City Cars, because they were durable work horses that remained in our fleet for 40 years. They are the foundation of every subway car we have designed since, and they continue to serve as a reminder of our past and how far we have come in design and customer comfort,” said Wynton Habersham, NYC Transit’s senior vice president of subways. “Our customers love riding these vintage classics every year, and we love showing them off.”

Plop yourself down on a vintage rattan seat and see what it was like to ride the subway in another era, complete with incandescent light bulbs, drop sash-style windows, ceiling fans and roll signs.

The train will run on the M line between Second Avenue and Queens Plaza every Sunday in December through the weekend before Christmas: Dec. 4, 11 and 18. 

You can board a nostalgia train at Queens Plaza, 23rd Street-Ely Avenue, Lexington Avenue-53rd Street, Fifth Avenue-53rd Street, 47th-50th streets-Rockefeller Center, Broadway-Lafayette Street, 42nd Street-Bryant Park, 34th Street-Herald Square, 23rd Street-Sixth Avenue, 14th Street-Sixth Avenue, West 4th Street-Washington Square and Second Avenue. For more information on train times, click here. 

Happy riding and happy shopping!

REPOST from abcsnews.com:

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas and Macy's is teaming up once again this year with Make-A-Wish to spread holiday cheer to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

As part of its seventh annual "Believe" campaign, Macy's is inviting kids of all ages across the country to believe by dropping off a letter for Santa in the red Santa Mail letterbox at their local Macy's. And, for the first time this year, the "Believe" letter-writing campaign is going digital. Customers can visit Macys.com/Believe and email their letter to Santa. For each letter collected in stores and online through Christmas Eve, Macy's will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help grant wishes for children who have life-threatening medical conditions.

Macy’s Believe Campaign Breaks Guinness World Record

"Embracing their imagination is what allows our wish kids to think big; to think about the future as they fight their illness," said David Williams, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "Macy's "Believe" campaign captures that sentiment perfectly and we are so proud to work with such a caring, passionate, and generous company."

Make-A-Wish has granted wishes for children since 1980, making over 240,000 wishes become a reality, from meeting a celebrity role model, to becoming a rock star for a day, starring in a Broadway play, swimming with dolphins, visiting Disneyland and more.

HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:
 Bring a stamped letter, addressed to "Santa At The North Pole," to your local Macy's store and drop it in a special Santa Mail letterbox or email your letter at Macys.com/Believe. For each letter received through Dec. 24, Macy's will donate $1, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish. Macy's will count the letters received in stores and deliver them to the Post Office.
