And once you've done your shopping, you can relax at the Rejuvenation Station in front of Bloomingdale's main level and sample some free goodies.
If you need some gift-giving inspiration, greeters will provide visitors to Roosevelt Field with a Shop Smarter Savings flier - also available at Simon Guest Services.

Shop from midnight right on through Black Friday. "Midnight Madness," now in its fourth year in Riverhead, draws hordes of younger shoppers, so expect crowds at stores like Juicy Couture, Aeropostale, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, American Eagle, and Nike. For moms who put their kids to bed and grab a girl's night out, favorite stores are Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma. Other hot spots: DKNY and Michael Kors.

The skating rink at Deer Park will be open for a few turns around the ice, and the first 250 customers to show up Thanksgiving night get a free PJ Moose plush toy.

Bargain hunter alert: With retailers like Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off Fifth, the Mall at the Source is a great place to get a deal on your holiday shopping. But this season the mall offers special promotions that go beyond money-savers.
The first 100 customers to visit Guest Services get a special gift. If you need to take a break from shopping, stop by the Rejuvenation Station in Fortunoff Court on the upper level, where you can unwind with holiday movies and treats.

Lord & Taylor, Saks, Banana Republic, Coach, Sephora . . . if you can't fill Santa's bag here, you aren't trying. To keep your energy up through a full day of shopping, Hershey's Bliss greeters will be giving away free samples, as will representatives from mall retailers. The Rejuvenation Station - sponsored by Audi of Huntington and DirecTV - will also have free food samples throughout the day, plus free mini-massages by the Salon & Spa at Saks Fifth Avenue. If, on the other hand, you're looking to give back a little something, you can participate in the Island Harvest Food Drive by dropping off nonperishable items at the collection in center court.
With warm, sunny weather, it's the perfect time to explore the best parks for kids.
