    It's time once again for Dallas-Fort Worth's favorite shopping and dining event: Partners Card. This is not only an excuse to visit some of your favorite stores and restaurants, but a way to make a tangible difference for The Family Place, a local nonprofit that empowers victims of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence.

    Whether you're a devoted buyer (it's been around for 27 years!) or this is your first year to get a Partners Card, here's what you need to know:

    How it works
    Purchase the Partners Card for $70, and save 20 percent at more than 750 participating retailers (think everywhere from Abi Ferrin to ZO Skin Centre, Anthropologie to West Elm, DryBar to Tom Thumb and Albertsons) and 10 percent at participating restaurants from October 25-November 3. You can view the complete list here.

    You can also shop online
    Register your Partners Card online, and you'll be entered to win raffle prizes from Starpower and The Container Store. When you're all shopped out, sit down on the couch and browse through e-commerce brands also offering the Partners Card discount: Leatherology, Saint Bernard, Urban Spikes, and Sam Edelman, just to name a few.

    A few of the best deals
    There are endless ways to use your Partners Card, here are some of our favorites:

    • Now's the time to pounce on furniture and home goods that rarely go on sale. Scott + Cooner in the Design District is home to unique, modern finds.
    • Interior designer favorite Bungalow 5 is filled with beautiful pieces perfect for a Partners Card splurge.
    • Get a head start on holiday gift shopping at Sample House, Talulah + Hess, and Lawrence's Gifts in Fort Worth (stock up on candles — everyone's go-to gift!).
    • Treat yourself to something sparkly at Bachendorf's, which is donating 10 percent of sales on October 26 to The Family Place.
    • Those with wedding bells in their future will want to stop by Bell'Invito Stationery & Home, The Ivy House, P.S. The Letter, and Warren Barron Bridal.
    • Guys will love Mizzen + Main, Stag Provisions, and Luke's Locker.
    • National brands and local gems alike participate in Partners Card. Stock up on staples from J.Crew and Chico's, then visit Favor the Kind and Elizabeth W.
    • Visit natural beauty boutique Follain, book an appointment at EnlightenMD, or bask in the glow at Cos Bar.
    • Fitness fiends should check out StudioHop, a membership program that gives access to dozens of fitness studios all over town. Partners Card holders save 20 percent on their first month.

    What it benefits
    The entire cost of the card gets donated to The Family Place, Dallas' largest family violence agency. Since its debut in 1993, Partners Card has raised over $18 million to help break the cycle of family violence in the community. Last year alone, Partners Card raised over $1 million and provided more than 14,000 nights of shelter for victims of family violence.

    However you intend to shop or dine, remember that the purchase of a Partners Card saves money and lives.

    For more information, visit www.partnerscard.org, contact the Partners Card hotline at 214-443-7754, or email partnerscard@familyplace.org.

    New giant Quge-tip from Dallas-based Q-tip sells out in 24 hours

    Q-tip's Quge-tip

    A giant version of an everyday product has sold out in 24 hours: Called the Quge-tip, it's a 6-foot version of the iconic Q-tip, the beauty staple that's been around for more than a century.

    Measuring nearly six feet from tip to tip, Quge-tips feature enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design.

    The Quge-tip was released on December 9 and sold exclusively online in limited quantities for $35. Alas, according to a spokesperson for Dallas-based Elida Beauty, the parent company of Q-tip, the product flew off the virtual shelf.

    "Now that they’re sold out, Q-tips is surprising fans with social giveaways," the spokesperson says.

    The Quge-tip is one of two products just released by Dallas companies — both of which feel like they could be April Fools Day jokes — except that both are for real.

    Dave & Buster's Claw Purse Dave & Buster's Claw PurseD&B

    Dave & Buster's Claw Purse
    The Dallas-based eatertainment chain is leveling up holiday gifting with the debut of the Claw Purse, a limited-edition purse designed by Chain. The Claw Purse is inspired by one of the brand's most iconic games — the claw machine — and according to a release, is "the season's most unexpected fashion statement" for anyone who loves bold style, nostalgia, and a little bit of play.

    To mark a milestone for the brand, the Claw Purse launches alongside the expansion of Dave & Buster's Human Crane, a viral, full-body game experience that turns guests into the claw — where they are lowered down into a bin of huge prizes to grab whatever they choose.

    Beginning in December 2025, the Human Crane will appear in over 112 Dave & Buster's locations with additional stores rolling out nationwide throughout the season.

    But back to the purse: It made its debut at Chain's Holiday House, an event at the company's HQ in L.A., where "it quickly became a crowd favorite among creators, stylists, and culture icons," or so says the release. Which also calls this "the first creative collaboration" between Dave & Buster's and Chain, bringing together Dave & Buster's beloved gameplay with Chain's signature culture-forward point of view. So maybe there will be more collaborations in the future.

    The Quge-tip is a nearly six-foot supersized version of the "iconic" Q-tip cotton swab, first invented in 1923 and the go-to for beauty, baby care, first aid, cleaning, and everyday moments that call for a gentle, precise touch.

    The six-foot Quge-tip features enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design — offering a new way to experience an iconic tool at a dramatically large scale, designed as a playful, oversized tribute.

    The release nots that Quge-tips tap into a rising trend of consumers using Q-tips swabs for alternative tasks, which now make up a meaningful share of cotton swab use: From dusting high shelves and cleaning hard-to-reach corners to large-scale art projects.

    The six-foot Quge-tip features enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design — offering a new way to experience an iconic tool at a dramatically large scale.

    The company insists it's a real thing — they do a very funny video mocking late-night ads for cheap products — and that after debuting at qugetips.com on December 9, they sold out of their initial run. One note: They do not reveal how many Quge-tips were sold. It could just be, like 10 that were for sale.

    There's a chance they'll be doing another issue, and they encourage interested shoppers to diligently follow their social media.
