Two weeks ago I posted this article<\/a> with eight different \u201cgift card bonus offers\u201d from Santa Cruz and Capitola restaurants. Here are a few more for any of you doing very-last-minute shopping.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Capitola, Scotts Valley and Watsonville<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sushi Garden<\/strong> is offering 10% off if you purchase at least $50<\/strong> worth of gift certificates. You have to buy them by Dec. 24, and they\u2019re valid at all three locations: Capitola (820 Bay Ave.), Scotts Valley (5600 Scotts Valley Dr.) and Watsonville (1441 Main St.).Visit sushi-garden.com.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Capitola, Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamba Juice<\/strong> is offering a gift card deal this holiday season, through Christmas. If you buy $25 in gift cards, you get a $5 bonus<\/strong> card redeemable in January and February. For more information, visit jambajuice.com. Local stores include Capitola (3555 Clares St.), Santa Cruz (1550 Pacific Ave.), and Scotts Valley (214 Mt. Hermon Rd.).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Santa Cruz<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Blaze Pizza<\/strong> (1901 Mission St.), if you buy a $25 gift card by Dec. 31, you get a free pizza<\/strong> reward to use at in 2019 (Jan. 1-Feb. 28). Restrictions: You must be a Blaze Rewards member (but it\u2019s easy to sign up). For more information, visit blazepizza.com\/locations\/santa-cruz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And finally, even though it\u2019s not food-related, I have to mention Bookshop Santa Cruz<\/strong> because it\u2019s such a wonderful, independent resource\u2014and it\u2019s been so for more than 50 years! Through the holiday season, you receive a free $10 BSC gift card when you purchase four $25 gift cards, or a free $5 gift card when you purchase five $10 gift cards<\/strong>. Speaking of food, your gift recipients (or you!) can buy a cookbook or a different type of food book (Ruth Reichl\u2019s Comfort me With Apples\u2026Anthony Bourdain\u2019s Kitchen Confidential, etc.). Visit bookshopsantacruz.com.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best wishes for a great 2019!<\/p>\n
