The weekend is thinking inside the box.
It's too hot for stubble, so Perks is bringing you a gift card and a free starter kit from Art of Shaving, including a badger brush and an aftershave balm. Think of it as extreme exfoliation.
In case you need some added incentive to make a pilgrimage for some no-frills 'cue, Gus's has unleashed a little contraption called the Bourbon Box—it's a sampling of three bourbons. In a box. For $12. Incentive approved.
You don't ordinarily get a foot massage at happy hour, but at this spa's third birthday party you'll have the 20-minute Men in Boots, and she'll have the Girls on Heels—after a spin through the in-house wine bar. Further retoxing will ensue at the Bigfoot Lodge next door.
Let's say you're about to hit the Sunset Junction street fair, but suddenly realize you're looking far too un-hipster-y (and also, you're far too sober). Not to worry. Just up the street, Apartment 3 is offloading tons of vintage for under $20. With free booze.
If you're looking to see how far $15 cash can take you, the Palomar is up to the challenge. Non-guests can now drop by the pool on Saturday afternoons for a BBQ buffet of market-inspired goods like Fennel-Rubbed Lollipop Lamb Chops. And you don't even have to clean the grill.
Ah, Venice—the Erwin's "Ink & Stay" package gets you a room, sure, but also $100 off your session with the in-house tattoo artist, as well as healing items like lotion, an ice pack and a bottle of tequila. Finally, Mom will have concrete, visible proof you love her.
