Black Friday and Eden are synonymous together.
Ever since 2008 when we moved to Ward Warehouse, we’ve committed to going all out for Black Friday. Pop ups in the Ward conference rooms with overnight lines, a live concert when we popped up at the former Marukai for Black Friday, free McDonalds breakfast sandos when we did Black Friday at International Market Place and who can forget BOO-CA, our Halloween holiday pop up at the old dimly lit, creepy Italian restaurant? Truth be told, that was our favorite Black Friday. BOO…. CA!
Every year, we change layouts and merch, but there’s a few core tips that are always tried and true when you attend an Eden Pop Up.
Here’s our five tips on how to pounce the pop up, Eden style!
BRING A BIG BAG.
Cause come on, you know you’re gonna shop the big deals
(use code BLOGCHAT50 at the door on 11/28 and 11/29 for 50% off!).
We always hear people say, “No no, I don’t need a big bag or I’ll fill it up…” but an hour later, their arms and pockets are LOADED with stuff! You can’t beat the deals, so bring a BIG BAG to shop the sale. Here’s the big bag we recommend to carry your haul. The Large Ultimate Tote is sturdy, huge and has handles that don’t scratch your armpits. Bring it and thank us later!

On that note, LEAVE YOUR PURSE AT HOME.
Hello hands free! We love these ID holders since you can strap your phone, ID, credit card (if not loaded!) plus a few pieces of tiny candy to your body. You can even clip your car keys to the strap and shop shop shop with no 10lb purse holding you back.

BRING YOUR LISTS
BRING YOUR LISTS, cause the deals are so stocking stuffer worthy. At 50% off (use code BLOGCHAT50 at the door on 11/28 and 11/29), this is the perfect time to sweep your Christmas list and start checking people off.
Office gang? Eden coozies and coffee house GCs. Baseball gang? Eden cooler bags filled with game day snacks. Your hubby’s golfing buddy? An Eden Five Birdies polo to match him on the course! Gifts for your Japan trip for all the people you’ll meet along the way? Eden totes and a bag strap. Especially since you can scoop up the NEW designs at the pop up (while supplies last!).
We make our lists with these Pilot Frixion Pens. Make your list, note an idea, ERASE it clean with this cutting edge friction technology and repeat. Make a list, but make it cute right?
Did you hear? We’re bringing CLOTHING BACK to the pop up!! It’s big news, huge news. And we made sure there are two private fitting rooms and one larger communal for trying on. Don’t let the communal scare you!
Bring a cami and biker shorts so you can slip on before trying if you want a little “communal privacy”.
Bring a cami (we like this one here with the built in bra) and biker shorts (we like this one here with the high waist).
Wear comfy shoes.
Leave your wedges, pumps and strappy sandals at home. Pop ups aren’t for the faint at heart, so we make sure we’re rocking an outfit that’s easy to change in and out of and shoes that look good with dresses, shorts, pants… you get it! The all around everyday white shoe.
My go to are these Golas with the gold stripe available on Amazon here or on the Gola site direct. I rock these all the time and have zero issues with sore feet ever.
Now you know how to Pop Up like a pro. Pop Up Pros, LOL, that’s so Eden.
