This Saturday, Nov. 25, 2023, it’s Small Business Saturday. At Kianti’s Pizza & Pasta Bar, customers can pay $20 and receive $25 worth of gift cards. You can call 831-469-4400 or stop in to purchase these cards.
Starting this Saturday, and going through the following Saturday (Dec. 2), there is a fun promotion/contest through the Downtown Association of Santa Cruz: The Golden Envelope. And there are lots of retailers participating including several related to food or drink.
There are 500 Golden Envelopes scattered throughout various downtown businesses, so if you do some holiday shopping or enjoy some pizza, wine, cookies, or ice cream, you have the chance to win a prize. Each envelope contains something different: it could be a $10 gift card to one of the businesses, or a voucher for a free hot chocolate, or even $100 in Downtown Dollars. The Association has gathered thousands of dollars of prizes.
