Local Deals with Family Appeal

When it rains, it pours. Such is the case with the latest offerings from our local deal sites. Discounts on everything from IMAX movies to holiday entertainment to mani/pedis for kids landed in my inbox this morning. And in case they didn’t make it to yours, here’s the scoop on all of them.

Groupon: See a movie in 3-D at one of Smithsonian’s IMAX Theaters for just $4. That’s a $5 savings off the regular price for tickets. KFDC has reviews on Born to Be Wild 3-D and Grand Canyon Adventure 3-D, both currently playing at the Samuel C. Johnson IMAX Theater located in the Museum of Natural History.

LivingSocial: Admission to the National Zoo’s annual light show may be free, but this ZooLights Package for 4 deal gets you all the extras. For $28 get parking, plus four ice skating tickets with skate rental, four hot chocolates, and four train rides. (Scroll down to their “families” section for the offer.)

Plum District: It’s just about time to start thinking about putting the kids’ smiling face on holiday greeting cards. And for $20 you can get $40 worth of holiday cards, invitations, and more from Pear Tree Greetings to save some money on them.

Juice in the City: What a fun treat this is for kids! For $24 get a kid’s mani/pedi spa package at Cafe Kids Spa. If my daughter were a little older, I’d snatch it up in a second.

Certifikid: This site currently has a bunch of awesome deals available right now — $20 for holiday ornaments and studio time at Clay Cafe of Chantilly, 60% off Gymboree classes, $7 to Port Discovery in Balitmore, and more! Go check ’em all out here.

The Juice on Two New Deals

Since Juice in the City launched in DC a couple of weeks ago, they consistently have been offering great deals on local goods and services for families. Today is no exception; in fact, they have TWO new deals that moms, especially, will appreciate.

The first involves a little pampering. For just $12, you can get a manicure or brow wax at Toka Salon and Day Spa in Alexandria. I keep hearing good things about Toka’s newest location — Washingtonian Magazine recently ranked it among its 30 favorite spas — and this will be a great opportunity to see for myself. The deal is over tomorrow, so get in on it soon!

As for the second offer, I’ve got one word for you: shoes. For $25, you can get $50 worth of designer shoes and accessories at Zelaya Shoes in Bethesda. Go browse the store’s website to see their variety of brand name footwear for women, men, and kids. This deal is also over tomorrow, so if you want to get your kicks for less, don’t wait to get the offer.

Happy savings… and shopping!
