Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer may have been kept from playing and having fun by his reindeer friends, but you won’t if you bid and win this fun tree! Sponsored by Republic Waste Services, this lively tree features reindeer ornaments prancing around soft gold and green accent ribbons, bows and crisp red and green bulbs. Look below this decorative tree to find some of the most playful gifts at the Gala! Get your minds going first at the table with classic games like Jenga and classic game Connect 4. Then, take your “play” outdoors with a Tee Time of your choice at Summit Pointe Golf Course or a beautiful trail ride on horseback offered by Milpitas ’ own Chaparral Ranch. All this fun will build up an appetite, so end the fun with dinner with certificates at Giorgio’s and dessert by Edible Arrangements!

This whimsical tree sponsored by the Great Mall will certainly sparkle and brighten up any home or office. The Great Mall means more stores, more brands, more value and more enjoyable shopping. Take a close look at the fun, glittery ornaments hung on the tree as your presents beneath are the same – shoes! Valuable gifts cards of $300 to Off Broadway Shoes and $100 to any store in the Great Mall will make the winning bidder and this tree package a winning “pair!” Make your holiday shopping easy and fun when you bid on this gift-giving tree!

The Holiday ’s from a Childs-eye is brought to life through this fun tree!
