Name
Here's a fun game to play when you're hanging out with the family: Name that lipstick! The local vegan cosmetics company The Elixery is holding a contest to name their latest tubes. If your pucker poetry is picked, you'll win a free lipstick of your choice.

Deals
There will be plenty of sales starting next Monday, including Flirt's semi-annual sale (40 percent off!). However, start early with a (sad) sale at Zelaz (287 Water St, Excelsior, 952-920-1044). Get 30 percent off of everything now, while supplies last.

Sip
In case you have an occasion or two to enjoy some bubbly or vino in the next few weeks, take advantage of the three tastings at Sorella Wines (1010 S Washington Av, Mpls, 612-339-4040). The fun starts tonight (4 to 7 p.m., continues on Friday (2 to 7 p.m.) and Saturday (2 to 6 p.m.). Yup, plenty of chances to Hook & Ladder Gewurztraminer and Henkell Sekt Troken before investing in a bottle or two of your own. Cheers!
