Unwrapped @ Coquitlam Centre

I won a pair of VIP tickets to Unwrapped event from Coquitlam Centre on Facebook. If you guys don't know, Unwrapped event is a charity night of shopping and you need to buy tickets in order to get into the event. The ticket was $10 each. However, I won it! ^^ Lucky me.. I decided to go with my mom because she had been always wanted to go but she was too cheap to pay for the tickets lol. 

The event was yesterday and this was what I saw no long after when I got to the mall. I think it was cool. ^^

They gave out 3 food sample coupons for everyone. There were so many restaurants participated in the event, like Cactus Club Cafe, The Boathouse Restaurant, Milestones Grill & Bar and many other more. Mr. Mikes gave out cheese burgers. It didn't look that great in the pictures but I think it tasted pretty good. ^^

They were making pumpkin cheesecake. I personally not a big fans of cheesecake and pumpkin, so I think it was okay. 

Spring Rolls and satays from Chada Thai Restaurant. I love the satays. ^^

Besides, being a VIP guest in the event, I also got 2 VIP free Santa photos, that was worth $35 in total. Cool eh.. =','=

Unwrapped was a charity shopping event when there were an one day discount for all the stores that participated. However, I don't see too much special discounts and I didn't buy much. I was expecting some big discount like 50% off or something. Most stores have only 20-30% for everything in stores. H&M has 20% off everything, so I bought some items that was already on sales, like $2 gloves, $5 scarf and I also got a knitted cardigan for $15 (original price was $39.99), and u get everything extra 20% off. The sales wasn't bad but I think I'll just get stuff when I go to Portland next month or during boxing days. 

Anyway, I did enjoy the event yesterday. Would I go again next year? Yes, if it's free. No, if I have to pay $10. The food samples tasting was just a bonus for me. However, it was a charity events, so it is for a good cause, but I think I need to save for a bit now. ^^
