Ready, Set, Shop Local: The Black Friday And Small Biz Saturday Guide
The PattyJ.com Guide to shopping local this Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. (Photo by Ashley Farney.)
Beauty
- Because smooth looking hair, or the absence of it, will ruin your whole look this season! Luniac Glamour, on Main Street EG, is offering $20 blowouts now thru the end of 2015.
- Blue Sky Spa - Purchase $200 in Gift Cards and receive a $25 gift card FREE, now thru 12/31. I say give the $200 as a gift, keep the $25 for yourself and put it toward a nice massage that you're going to need to de-stress in December.
Shopping
Black Friday Deals
- The Boutique at Magnolia - The widly popular salon has opened a super cute boutique with jewelry, accessories, and so much more. For Black Friday, they're offering 10% off Loren Hope Jewelry and a FREE pashmina with any purchase. (PS - Olivia Culpo's a fan! See pic above.)

Small Business Saturday
- Sure you probably know Frog & Toad, but why not grab a coffee and a pastry (my fav's the Ginger Biscuit) at Seven Stars and check out some of the other amazing speciality stores just a stone's throw away from F&T? There are so many, including J. Marcel (Lots of fall and winter clothing and accessories at surprisingly affordable prices...I actually saw lots of items for $20, 30 and 40 yesterday when I toured the stores, so don't stress over potential sticker shock.), The Cheeky Hound (for all you pet parents out there), Stock Culinary Goods (an impressive mix of cooking related goods and merch...The owner has such great energy too!), Kreatelier (I've never seen anything like this store: They offer custom upholstery as well as an incredible selection of one of a kind fabric-based items like totes, pillows, and toys.), Green River Silver (Ask about their special collection of jewelry where a portion of sales is donated to Save The Bay.), and many more. Watch for another post about Hope St. and the holiday happenings there coming very soon!
