Shop for V-day
Karin Jacobson Design's limited edition Valentine's Day collection is so cute that you'll want to wear the cuffs ($22) and earrings ($14 to $16) on non-holidays as well. Buy them online or tonight at the designer's studio (5 to 9 p.m., Karin Jacobson Design, 1500 Jackson St. NE, Suite 288, Mpls, 612-875-5788). You'll get 15 percent off of the non-V-day stuff (leather and sterling).

Shop for deals
An outlet at Galleria? Not exactly, but on Friday and Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), you can shop a combined sale boutique warehouse of goodies from Arafina, Melly, Pumpz and Whymsy in the spot formerly occupied by Oilily. Everything is 50 to 90 percent off -- so shop early and often.

Shop for dudes
While you're at Galleria, swing by the grand opening of Hammer Made on Friday. Shop any time during the day (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) or during the evening's celebration (7 to 11 p.m.) to enjoy complimentary shirt fittings, advice from founder Jason Hammerberg and $20 in Hammer Bucks toward your purchase.
