MIDTOWN—On Wednesday, December 2nd, head to the Bloomingdale's flagship at 6:30pm for a signing with Dita Von Teese. Located on the fourth floor, the event gives shoppers a first look at the latest from her lingerie collection. The burlesque star will also be signing copies of her new book, Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour.

NEW YORK CITY—If you're a fairly active Uber user, enter the code TAPGIVEGET into that promotions field right now. That'll enter you in the car service's "Five Days of Giving," meaning that you can toggle to the Holiday option between 11am and 3pm this week and request a free present for delivery. Today's partner was Vince, and a handful of lucky customers received cashmere sweaters (and one got a $5,000 gift card). Future partners include L'Occitane, One Kings Lane, and DVF; head here for more specifics about how you can win.

NOLITA—MZ Wallace's annual advent calendar kicks off tomorrow, offering daily specials to shoppers ranging from 40% off select quilted nylon styles to 50% off the signature Chelsea tote, which you can take advantage of both online and at the 93 Crosby Street store. Shoppers must be MZ Wallace subscribers to access the deals, but anyone can sign up to receive these exclusive discounts.

SOHO—Nicole Miller is teaming up with CancerCare tomorrow to offer shoppers a 15% discount off their purchases from 6pm to 8pm at the Soho store (77 Greene St), with an additional 15% of each purchase donated back to CancerCare. Guests will also enjoy drinks and a short presentation of Nicole Miller's holiday collection. Plus, the first 25 people to RSVP over at rsvp@nicolemiller.com will be entered to win a Nicole Miller handbag.

MANHATTAN—Theory and Big Brothers Big Sisters NYC have joined forces to give shoppers 10% off in-store from December 2nd through 6th when they mention Big Brothers Big Sisters at check-out.
