OUTING COURTESY OF LA’S URBAN SHOPPING ADVENTURES
Surprise Your Sweetie with a Custom Shopping Excursion Complete with Chauffer-Driven

Los Angeles, Calif. – (January 1, 2006) – Behind the girl who has everything is a loving man who has simply run out of ideas. This Valentine’s Day, gift-challenged beaux have the opportunity to truly dazzle their sweethearts with a gift certificate from Urban Shopping Adventures. This unique tour company offers the ultimate aphrodisiac with custom shopping excursions through Downtown LA’s Fashion District, as well as Melrose Heights Shopping District, a stylish area flanked with designer boutiques and a celebrity clientele.
Nothing says "I love you" like a day of shopping with Urban Shopping Adventures. The company offers a number of owner-led shopping excursions starting at just $32 per person for a 2-3 hour walking tour. Those wanting to really impress their one and only can book the ultimate Deluxe Diva Shopping Spree, which includes a chauffer-driven limousine to and from Downtown Los Angeles, lunch at a trendy LA eatery, and a shopping concierge to guide your beloved to select retail stores and showroom appointments. Rates for this package, which can accommodate up to 8 people allowing significant others the option to participate in the experience or treat their better half and her best pals to a shop ’til you drop jaunt, are priced at an hourly rate and require a three-hour minimum booking. Really creative husbands and boyfriends can share in the expense by purchasing the package as a collective gift for their gals; then, once the limo has departed the men can enjoy an afternoon of televised sports and male bonding sans women.
"Valentine’s Day is probably one of the most difficult days for men," says Urban Shopping Adventures founder Christine Silvestri. "They want to be thoughtful, but not cliché. What Urban Shopping Adventures offers with its various tours and gift certificate program is an effortless gift that leaves women feeling pampered and men feeling as if they really went the extra mile to find that unique and one-of-a-kind gift."
Fashionistas who enjoy style sans the price tag will find they’re in their element with a trek through the key parts of the 90-square block LA Fashion District, where the city’s newest designers, as well as familiar labels, are available for purchase well below the price of retail. It’s here that your sensible gal can shop for fresh flowers at the LA Flower Mart, sleuth for chunky baubles and bracelets, browse for fashionable handbags, and shop for the latest designer and ready-to-wear fashions at quite a savings. There are also optional stops to textile warehouses where bolts of fabric and trim represent an array of styles and price points.
Gals with that "fresh from the runway" look will enjoy prowling through some of L.A.’s high-end boutiques amid the Melrose Heights Shopping District. Anchored by Fred Segal, a store frequented by A-list celebrities, the area embraces an eclectic mix of hip American and European designers. Signature stores along this stylish stretch include BCBGMaxAzria, Betsey Johnson, Fornarina, Marc Jacobs, and Xin, just to name a few. There are also a handful of exclusive gift and furnishing shops as well as a number of trendy restaurants that are ideal for refueling and people watching. Many merchants offer exclusive courtesies to tour participants, as well as incentives and discounts not available to the general public.
Urban Shopping Adventures also offers a number of pre-Valentine’s Day shopping tours, where Silvestri will provide some ease in the selection process by showing special gift suggestions for him or her. Groups of 10 or more who book the $32 walking tour by February 14 can sweeten the deal as each participant will receive a small and savory box of chocolates.
Urban Shopping Adventures, the exclusive authorized group tour provider to the LA Fashion District and Melrose Heights Shopping District, provides insider access to some of LA’s most exciting retail and wholesale shops.
