Partners Card

Partners Card in Dallas starts tomorrow so I’m sharing some of my favorite Partners’ Card spots in today’s post. It’s a week when lots of Dallasites purchase Christmas gifts at discount – and all for a good cause! Even if you aren’t in Dallas, you might want to file away this list of amazing stores if you ever visit the Big D. Many have online shopping as well!

What is Partners Card?

From October 25-November 3, over 750 retailers are offering 20% for Partners Card holders. It’s when many Dallasites get a head start on their holiday shopping.

Who does Partners Card benefit?

Partners Card is the primary fundraiser for The Family Place, a Dallas-based organization that works to stop family violence and serve victims of family violence. Over the last 25 years, the Partners Card has raised over $18 million. In the last year, they have increased their services by 60% with the addition of a new shelter with services to help victims become survivors. Each night, their 178 beds are full with women, men and children who are looking for a safe place to stay. In addition to shelter, The Family Place offers counseling, education, medical care and legal aid services that help empower victims of abuse live in freedom from domestic violence.

How much does it cost?

A Partners Card costs $70 but the entire amount goes to The Family Place and provides one night of shelter for victims.

Where can I buy one?

Partners Cards ($70) are available for purchase at many of the retailers participating, but you can also purchase them here to be shipped to you. When you receive your Partners Card, be sure to register your card online and download the mobile app to access your digital card and map of store locations. By registering your card online, you can also shop online at the select stores who are offering the Partners Card discount online, like Saint Bernard, The Container Store and Mizzen+Main and 3 Marthas.

Who does DoSayGive think has the best deals?

There’s so many so I’ve broken it down into categories:

Luxury Menswear

The Partners Card is the perfect time to purchase menswear for your husband, father, brother or boyfriend. Culwell & Son is one of my favorite menswear spots for all occasions. Find beautiful designer suits, everyday wear and casual items here. Their customer service is top notch and it definitely has that classic Dallas vibe!

After that, head to Mizzen+Main for the best dress shirts. The performance fabric is so comfortable, machine washable and wrinkle resistant. Visit their shop in West Village on McKinney Avenue to find the perfect fit or shop online with your Partners Card and take their fit finder quiz.

Peter Millar is another great place to find menswear. Their new store in Legacy West has a huge selection of items, including their best-selling Crown Soft Quarter Zip. This is one of my favorite gifts for men!

Designer Shoes

I was surprised and excited to see notable designers like Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman included in the Partners Card! While not everything is not eligible for the Partners Card discount, you will find things like Louboutin’s classic black and nude pumps on their list of discounted product and those rarely get marked down.

In addition to those luxury brands, Miron Crosby in Highland Park Village and Lucchese are offering the Partners Card discount as well. The custom boots are not included, but there are still hundreds of styles that are Partners Card eligible. This would be the perfect gift for your husband or dad. Actually I really want some Miron Crosby boots!

Designer Handbags

My favorite spots to find designer handbags during the Partners Card are Tory Burch and Longchamp. I have my eye on these beautiful Tory Burch riding boots and this cosmetic case will definitely be on my list this holiday season. I also think these cardholders are a great under $100 gift!

Visit the Longchamp store in Northpark and pick up their best selling Le Pliage Tote bag. This is definitely a great go-to gift. And the teen girls love them!

Clothing

There are so many of my favorite stores included in the Partners Card. My favorite place to shop for the whole family is Saint Bernard. For women, they have notable brands like Theory, Rebecca Taylor and Shoshanna. You can also find shoes for the whole family. Prepare for winter with brands like Patagonia, North Face and Barbour! I purchased my Barbour jacket from here and it is still one of my favorite outerwear pieces! Also, Saint Bernard caries my sister’s brand, Neely Phelan.

Liz and Honey  is another one of my go-to stores for women’s clothing. They carry tops, dresses, jewelry and more at all price points.

For children’s clothes, Layette, Hip Hip Hooray and The Tot are my favorite places to shop for classic children’s clothes. I also love shopping at KidBiz for cute, appropriate clothes for my tween. They recently moved to Inwood Village, so make sure you stop in their new store!

Note: The Tot is participating in Partners Card from a pop-up location at Neighborhood Goods in Plano.

Home and Gifts

I shared my love for Caitlin Wilson in this post, so I was excited to see that their store on Henderson will be included in the Partners Card. Make sure you stop in for beautiful home decor and unique gifts.

The Blue Print Store is a home furnishing store that specializes in art, unique furniture and antiques. Make sure to take advantage of this Partners Card discount here! Amy Berry Home is also part of partners card as is Ballard Design.

Swoozies is one of my favorite spots to buy personalized gifts. Last year, one of my friends gifted me a personalized acrylic chip bowl and it was such a unique and fun gift! This is a great time to pick up gifts for friends, neighbors and hostesses and Swoozies is the perfect spot for that! Need flowers or an arrangement? There are several florists on the list like Cebolla.

Jewelry

There are several of my favorite jewelry shops included in the Partners Card. Kendra Scott is my go-to for jewelry, but also is a great destination for gifts, especially the Elisa necklace for tween girls. I shared my experience at Ylang23 in this post. Ylang23 is a Dallas-based designer that offers exclusive jewelry brands.

Neely Phelan jewelry is available at Saint Bernard including their new gift box sets.

If you are looking for luxury jewelry, Eiseman Jewels in Northpark, next to Neiman Marcus. Here you will find luxury jewelry brands. 20% off will definitely go a long way here!

Gourmet Gifts

Gourmet gifts make fabulous gifts for any occasion. Scardello is one of my favorite spots for gourmet gifts. Pick up a cheese tray to bring to a gathering or grab one of their carefully curated gift boxes as a hostess gift. Read more about Scardello in this post.

Dude, Sweet Chocolate is a Dallas based chocolatier that specializes in unique flavors and high quality chocolate products. This gift box is includes all of their best sellers and would be a fabulous gift!

sugarfina

Sugarfina is another one of my go-to gifts. Pick up a few of their candy boxes as gifts to have on hand or one of their pre-made bento boxes. I picked up this Tito’s Bento Box and paired it with a bottle of Tito’s and it made a great thank you gift for my husband to give.

Custom Stationery and Holiday Cards

Definitely take advantage of the 20% discount on custom stationery and holiday cards! Ellis Hill is located on Lovers Lane and is a top Dallas destination for beautiful custom stationery, invitations, and other personalized items. There are a few exceptions on what the Partners Card discount can be used on, but their best selling lines like Arzberger and Haute Papier are included in the sale. Make sure you approve your proof before the Partners Card ends on November 4!

I recently heard about Wabash Road, another beautiful stationery company. Check them out for custom, semi-custom and ready to order products from their shop in Fort Worth.

Shop Local

This is probably my favorite category because there are so many of my favorite local Dallas stores included on the Partners Card this year. Make sure you stop by The Greenway Shop for clean, natural beauty products and MADRE for beautiful monogrammed items on Lovers Lane. If you can’t make it in store, MADRE is offering online shopping with the Partners Card and the most precious gifts for children and the home.

After that, head to Nicholson-Hardie Nursery to pick up some new plants and flowers for your yard and their gift shop for home decor and entertaining pieces. (Think Christmas greenery and decor!) I love stopping in here to find unique gifts and a beautiful potted plant always makes a wonderful gift!

Dr. Delphinium is a little further down on Lovers Lane and they also offer gifts, but they are known for their gorgeous flower arrangements. Their selection of flowers cannot be beat so pick up an arrangement for yourself or surprise a friend with a beautiful bouquet! Make sure you go in the store to order, they will not accept the Partners Card online or over the phone!

Finally, stop in St. Michael’s Woman Exchange in Highland Park Village for unique home decor and gifts, classic children’s clothes and beautiful gift wrapping! If you are looking for a meaningful baby gift or baptism gift, they have a fantastic selection.

Services

The Partners Card is a great time to treat yourself or grab a friend for a spa day. Bellacures in Preston Center is a great (clean!) spot for manicures and pedicures. Their unique menu is so wonderful and they are committed to making sure your nails look perfect without compromising on their cleaning and sanitization standard.

The DryBar is one of my favorite places so I am so excited to see them on the Partners Card. While the discount doesn’t work for gift cards, you can still receive the 20% discount off products and services during the Partners Card period.

Holiday Necessities

Make sure you use the Partner’s Card discount to prepare for the holidays! This is a great way to decrease stress once the holidays do roll around. Pickup all your gift wrap necessities at The Container Store either online or in store. Stock up on wrapping paper, double-sided tape, gift boxes and stocking stuffers with the 20% off Partners Card discount.

For beautiful holiday decor, there are many home stores where the Partners Card will work, including Crate&Barrel, Pottery Barn, Wisteria and Frontgate. Frontgate has the most amazing holiday decor department and offers beautiful, pre-lit Christmas trees!

Where will you be shopping during the Partners Card?
