Chances are you’ve outgrown the more traditional pajama party amusements; truth or dare and frozen bras got old around the seventh grade for most of us. But on December 4 from 6-10pm, Beauty and the Bath in Wickford has some updated activities we can all get behind: discounts, booze and – best of all – a good cause.
It’s technically optional to wear your pajamas to the beauty boutique’s holiday party, as long as you bring some to donate. For the 17th year, the shop is collecting new kids pajamas and books for kids in need. The donations go to the Pajama Program, which uses them to help provide a happy bedtime to kids in group homes, shelters and temporary housing facilities.
Along with the warm fuzzies, customers can enjoy a 20% discount at the store, hors d’oeuvres from local chefs, wine and “grown-up hot chocolate” during the event. Visitors who bring donations also get a Beauty and the Bath goody bag and a raffle ticket for prizes from other local shops.
The party is an annual hit according to store owner Lori Lyons, with customers packing into the store and filling a sleigh with hundreds of pajamas and books despite some bitter winter winds.
