I went to the Icon event this morning and it was disappointing overall. Besides losing a stud earring somewhere (probably in the fitting room but I didn't notice until I got home), there were no tables of food and drinks like the holiday party.
I stood in line at the opening to check in, and no one mentioned the free gift. I did get a scratch card and won $5. I had to ask two other employees who went to ask another employee about the free gift and coffee location - Topanga location is in the studio style room (forget the official name, second floor by the entrance leading to the parking structure). There, I stood in line for someone to log my name in a list for the free gift. The mother-daughter in front of me were asked if they were Icon (they weren't - one was ambassador and one influencer, so not sure how they got in today) - their names were written on different log lists - there is one for each level. They also got gifts, though I am not sure whether theirs was the same gifts and whether mine was any different. The only difference with the icon gift bag might be the envelope with the three cards in it, though I did see the same mother-daughter getting a free drink because I was also behind them in line at the e-bar later. There was coffee or small bottles of orange and apple juice. And that was it.

Icons also got to have complimentary embroidery on the gift bag, but mine was not ready by the time I left so I am picking it up tomorrow. Not sure if other levels will also get this, though the same mother-daughter duo were waiting for their bags when I filled out the form.

Here are some items I tried on in-store. I had most of my orders ready by the time I left, though half of it isn't ready until tomorrow. I'm a S/M or 6/8 and 5'3.
One pick up item canceled/sold out (I couldn't find the XS in store, so I tried on the S in white and the XS in purple):

6 US - I thought the coloring was different from the online images. Still undecided since I like a finished hem:
