Ever had the feeling you're walking through a snow globe? Chances are you were just visiting Noe Valley in December. This neighborhood takes holiday cheer to a new level and we couldn't think of a merrier location for our final Microhood party of the year.
Our partners at Google Local provided tons of photobooth fun for guests, while our friends at Google Shopping Express came out and offered free face painting and goody bags.
Our Premier Partner, Whole Foods Market Noe Valley, teamed up with Etsy to offer a DIY holiday ornament popup. They were pouring brews from 21st Amendment Brewery and donating all proceeds to the SF Food Bank.
Shoppers at Just For Fun enjoyed complimentary wine and 20% off an impressive selection of ornaments.
Patxi's Pizza offered a 2 for 1 special on all wine and beer and they served it up with a smile.
Cliche Noe Gifts + Home had free wine and homemade cookies! They also offered complimentary gift wrapping for all purchases and 20% off ornaments.
Santa was spotted at Folio Books where they were offering 20% off all children's books. Although he appears to be reading we know he was just there for the gingerbread cookies and cider.
Google City Experts got crafty at Terra Mia where they sipped champagne and painted their own coffee mugs.
Gallery of Jewels raffled off a $150 gift certificate.
Ambiance SF offered sweet refreshments and free gift wrapping for purchases. They also gave away a $150 gift certificate to one lucky Let it SNoe attendee.
Small Frys offered 20% off clothing to all Let it SNoe guests- not just superheros.
Two Birds was giving away free puppies!! Ok just kidding, they actually offered 15% off the entire store, but you could cuddle this cutie for free.
We had a great time working with all the businesses in this winter wonderland. Let it SNoe was the perfect finale to our 2013 Microhood series. See you in the New Year!
