It was the longest day of the year and the Group for the East End celebrated the solstice with a glittering gala. They're all about the environment and sustainability (their top selling live auction item was a tree that went for $12,000). And, as you would expect, their gift bag was also heavy on the green (both literally and figuratively). There was:
Audubon's shade grown organic decaf "Breakfast Blend" coffee, Bridgehampton Gorp, Eco-Dent toothpaste and mouthwash, Estée Lauder Graphic Color eye shadow, a GE compact fluorescent light bulb, a "Green Living for Dummies" discount coupon, a Greenhouse School "trash-to-treasure greencards" stationery set, a Group for the East End signature organic cotton t-shirt and reusable tote, Hart's zinnia and sunflower seeds, Havassy "A Surf Odyssey" Surfrider Foundation 2008 calendar and corn-based foam flip flops, Kathleen Lewis for Erika Bloom "Après Pilates" sage bath salts, a Keribar strawberry-chocolate chip and apple-peanut butter energy bars and discount coupon, Nicole Miller's "carbon neutral" neck tie, North Fork potato chips, a Peconic Estuary Program boating map, a Preserve discount coupon, a ProngHorn resort promotional DVD, Searles Graphics recycled paper notepads, Seventh Generation dishwashing detergent, and VeeV açai liqueur.
On Monday, June 23rd, we played a great round of golf at the Hamptons Golf Classic in Westhampton which is a benefit for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Our wish was for a great gift bag. Ask and ye shall receive! Included was:
An Aqua East free cocktail coupon, a Bluestar Jets $1000 gift certificate, a Carlos by Carlos Santana nail file, Exceptional Because You Are perfume, unbranded flip flops, Hamptons magazine, Mayfair gem and jewelry cleaner, a Magaschoni tote bag and cashmere Hamptons Golf Classic sweater, a Naturalizer scarf watch, a Nike Golf cap, an Oasis Day Spa discount card, a Paige Restaurant Group discount card, and a Shoes.com discount card.
And there's more where that came from, Plum has gift bags galore!
