AK Friends,

Yes, we know we just sent an e-mail last week. And no, we're not going 
to start sending you long e-mails every week. But we've all survived 
Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and we figured it was time to look ahead 
to a few more upcoming holidays. We have lots of new stuff we think will 
be of interest to those of you looking for gift ideas, and of course we 
don't want you to forget about our big sale TODAY and our other upcoming 
events this weekend! So without further ado...

IN THIS EMAIL: New Arrivals & Gift Ideas / Winter Sale / Upcoming Events
