Central Congratulations sale 2010

It is the season of pompous Graduation ceremonies where new graduates go through a 'right of passage' consisting of hours of torture and expenditures just to get an album-ful of vanity photos of themselves posing in fancy academic regalia.
Central has thus come up with the CONGRATULATIONS 2010 sale from July 15 to August 31, so that we can buy gifts to splurge on our graduating friends (and thus feed this overrated commercialised culture).
Back to the topic, the sale will basically feature discounts of 20% off on regularly-priced items at the following sections / shops of Central department stores:

 - Sanrio and Giftshop at every Central store.
 - ZeenZone at Central branches of Chidlom, Lardprao, Bangna, Pinklao, Rama III, Silom Complex, Phuket and Chaengwattana
 - Build-A-Bear Workshop at Central Chidlom, Lardprao, Bangna and Chaengwattana (Pinklao open 1 Aug '10)
 - Teddy House at Central Chidlom, Lardprao, Bangna, Pinklao, Rama III, Rama II, Rangsit and Chaengwattana

Don't forget, you can also avail yourself a 5% On-Top Discount by refusing the shopping bags - during the 'No Bag Days Sale' on the 15th, 16th, 17th of each month. Just tag along your handy cloth bag.
