This week on What's Up Wednesday, it's last call for in-person and online shopping as Black Friday and December sale prices continue. And time is running out to pick up your orders.
Thanks to everyone who placed orders for Black Friday and during our December Sale. Of course, those prices remain low, in place, and this week you can actually shop in person for that tactile experience when selecting those jackets, t-shirts, hoodies, and pajamas, or just see any of the merchandise in person. Remember, every order of $100 or more, excluding shipping, will receive a specially designed, not-for-sale, holiday Balloon Fiesta pin, FREE.
The December Sale is when all those 2025 clothing items are on sale. We have a lot of jackets and hoodies still available at great prices. From pilot jackets in gray to retail jackets in black with red trim. to navigator jackets in green, there's a style and color for everyone. The jackets are all medium-weight and beautifully embroidered with the Painted Horizon logo on the back. Some sizes may be limited.
Don't forget the other clothing items, like the heathered hoodie. This quarter-zip purple hoodie has the Painted Horizon logo on the left front chest, making for a blend of iconic imagery and modern heather fabric. Of course, everyone appreciates a cool t-shirt, and we have a good selection with an option for everyone.
Our physical Gift Shop is open 9-5 for the rest of the week, but once we hit 5 pm on Friday, the 12th, we're closed to in-person shopping for the rest of the year. Online shopping closes for the year at 8 am on Monday, December 15th. We will be available for you to pick up your online orders through 5 pm Friday, the 19th. Please make every effort to pick up your orders by then. If you have an issue getting to the office, let us know, and we'll work with you on other options.
With the Balloon Fiesta Stuff Shopping Season winding down quickly, now is the time to grab the 2026 calendar. They are half price at just $5. Don't start 2026 without one. While you're shopping, why not pick up a 2025 program? It has all the balloons that participated, complete with pictures, pilot names, and home base. There are also some great articles, including a look behind the scenes of Balloon Fiesta Live!, our live stream of Balloon Fiesta.
Finally, another great last-minute gift option is a holiday ornament. We have a good selection of ornaments from this year and last. Grab a few and have them on hand for that occasion where you need a little something special.
Next week on What's Up Wednesday, we'll reveal our plans for expanded shopping opportunities in the new year. Until then, Thanks for your support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
