Traveling Mercies
$270Experience the new restaurant "Traveling Mercies" by Aurora's first James Beard award winner chef, Caroline Glover.
Enjoy a $150 gift card to Traveling Mercies, a cocktail and oyster bar, in the third-level space inside Stanley Marketplace. The name Traveling Mercies speaks to her own family, in particular the salutation her mother gave when the family returned from traveling. But while for Glover it embodies well wishes after a voyage, for her husband and co-owner Nelson Harvey, the name also speaks to the idea that everyone is granted mercies on whatever trip they are on. Both sentiments, she said, work for their concept, and in a way, for her personal life journey too.

Maroon Bell Mittens
$120Our friend Jeremy Dougherty, Founder and CEO at Maroon Bell Outdoor, is donating an awesome pair of the 5280 Water Buffalo Mittens. These mittens are black and brown leather, size S, but the winner can exchange the size and style if necessary.
About the mittens: After 16 months in design, we bring you a six layer, ultra-warm, shockingly tough, nearly waterproof, water buffalo leather mitten. With 180D PCV coated polyester layer on top of Hipora and .8MM thick Full grain, reinforced, waterproof treated Water Buffalo, this glove was designed as the last glove you will ever buy. We tested this glove in wet, dry, cold (-14F), windy and foggy conditions. It was perfect and became softer, shinier, and better looking over time.
