Of course online stores are great for browsing the latest styles from all the gotta-have designers, not to mention those late-season deals you can get (…if you hurry!).  But if you’re someone with your own sense of style and you want to get your hands on the current-season goods, you know the real action is still in your favorite stores.

Now there’s a new service that combines the very best of online browsing, private sales, cash back and in-store shopping all in one! It’s called Mintbox, and it has launched just in time for the holidays. As a Mintbox insider, you’ll get into private-sale discounts on current-season merchandise, extra discounts and perks on sale items, plus insider shopping benefits like exclusive fashion shows, store events, spa upgrades, and cash back on all your purchases.

Mintbox gives you priority access to great designer brands like La Perla, Rag & Bone, Givenchy, Alexander Wang, Flight 001, Elizabeth & James, Molton Brown and a growing list of must-haves, with new stores and brands added every week.

Once you join you’ll receive hand-selected private invitations, exclusive sales and perks you can take to the store on your mobile phone, plus cash back when you shop with a registered credit or debit card. As always, we love to bring you the scoop on everything that’s 'It' now. The site just launched this month, and My It Things readers can be some of the first members by going to www.Mintbox.com with our exclusive code MITMD.
