Two clothing boutiques, Male Ego and Kerry Kay's, fêted their clients last weekend.

The Distinguished Gentleman, as Male Ego's annual Christmas cocktail reception was called this year, was held at the store, Shop 10, Southdale Plaza, Kingston 10. On November 27, guests were hosted by owners Michelle and Donavan McCarty.

As they nibbled on hors d'oeuvres, patrons got the opportunity to see the new Subaru Legacy 2010 from Kingston Industrial Garage Limited.

Kerry Kay's held its customer appreciation and sale day at the store on November 29. Customers got discounts from 50-70 per cent. Women received 50 gift bags from Jergens as well as giveaways from The Gleaner, National Commercial Bank and flowers from Gorgeous Flowers. Drink samples were courtesy of Grace Blends, Malibu and Sangster's from Lascelles Wines.

The Sundays sale will continue until the end of December at the store, Shop 2, Lane Plaza, St Andrew.
