Valentines Day is the time when Gentlemen buy their Ladies jewelry, and Ladies buy their Gentlemen big screen TVs and fast cars. (nod, nod, wink, wink)

It’s been a long time since I’ve cut a red heart out of construction paper, but I remember well the mood and practices of the holiday. The glitter, the glue, the candy. Uncle Ned in that baffling bunny suit… But I digress.

Valentines Day is a celebration of love, where women remind their men to remind their women how much they are loved. And to that end, whether you’re a woman looking for a not-so-subtle reminder for your man, a man who has already been reminded, or one of the truly rare and special men who remember on their own;

Goldsmith Gallery is offering 10% off on all purchases through Valentines Day!

Just enter “valentine” in the text box during checkout.

Lest we forget the less fortunate, Singles’ Awareness Day can also be celebrated with like-gendered friends, savory foods, and action movies.

It’s a New Year! Seems like just yesterday that the world was devastated by the widespread destruction of Y2K. Wait… OK, I guess that was awhile ago. Anyway, the new year is here, and I’d like to be the very first one to wish you a Happy New Year-12 days late!

Yes! We’re now offering Mileage with every purchase. Spend a Dollar, get a Mile. I’ll include the press release below:

Alaska Jewelry Inc. Announces Strategic Partnership with Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines Mileage plan members can now receive extra miles for purchasing jewelry online.
Alaskajewelry.com is a privately owned jewelry Etailer based in Sitka, Alaska. They also have two retail locations in Sitka.
This partnership will benefit Alaska Airlines mileage plan members, as well as those who fly on Alaska Airline’s Mileage Plan Airlines Partners American Airlines, Big Sky Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Era Aviation, Hawaiian Airlines, Horizon Air, LAN, Northwest Airlines, PenAir, and Qantas.
Through a partnership with Alaska Airlines, Alaskajewelry.com is now offering 1 mile for every dollar spent on their website: http://www.alaskajewelry.com For specific information on the mileage plan benefits go to: http://www.alaskajewelry.com/alaska_jewelry_air_miles.php or for the link on the Alaska Airlines website: http://www.alaskaair.com/mileageplan/PartnerMilesOps.asp 3rd in list.

Cleve Oines says that he originally approached Alaska Airlines about becoming a Mileage Plan Partner to benefit other Alaskans, but many of the responses so far have been from customers outside of Alaska.
“Living on an island in Southeast Alaska, my only option for air travel is Alaska Airlines, and this is true for most people in the state. Here in Alaska, almost everyone is an Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Member, because it’s the only airline we fly! Most of us use Alaska Airlines credit cards too-anything to get free travel!
“What I’ve learned in the short time the program has been in effect is that it’s not just Alaskans who are mileage plan members. In fact, most of the responses so far have been from our customers in Washington and California.”
Oines says that what started as “An Alaskan Jewelry Store” now does business all over the world.
“We’ve sent orders to England, Australia, Japan, and Spain-just sent a gold nugget ring to one of our soldiers serving in Iraq. Actually, we just finished an engagement ring for a soldier coming home from Iraq as well.”
“Really, it’s a benefit to anyone who buys jewelry and also flies, because the miles can also be used on any of Alaska Airline’s partner carriers as well, which effectively span the globe. American Airlines, British Airways, Continental, Delta, Hawaiian, Northwest-they’re all partners.”
“I think that offering bonus miles is a huge benefit for our mutual customers.”
