I’m a firm believer in getting a good deal — but also that just because something is on sale doesn’t mean you NEED it. There’s no need to go in debt over the post-Thanksgiving sales.
But, if you’re going to be out and about today, why not put some money back into our community? Here are some of my favorite, and local-mom recommended, Triangle area shops:
- McIntyre’s Books
- North Carolina Crafts Gallery
- Sofia’s Boutique
- For Garden’s Sake (best plants!)
- This & That (I always get my family’s gift game gift here!)
- Flyleaf Books
- Ali Cat Toys
- Southern Supreme
- Be Pure Beauty (non-toxic skin care)
- Chapel Hill Toffee (YUM!)
- Less Than Ladylike Candle Company
- Market Street Coffee
- Carolina Yoga Company
- Hillsborough Spa & Day Retreat
- BR3 Cryo studio (love this place!)
- Indecisive Designs
- Saxapahaw Holiday Market(tons of vendors Saturday & Sunday!)
- Fleet Feet Carrboro / Chapel Hill
Other small shops I love that aren’t necessarily in the Triangle or even NC:
- SQUEAK (non-toxic cleaning supplies): 25% off
- Free to Be Kids (love getting L’s fun shirts from here): Code SHOPSMALL for 20% off
- River Babe Threads (another fun shirt place!): 40% off with code BLACKFRIYAY
- Soda City Sewing (almost all of L’s monogrammed/embroidered clothes come from this shop)
- Erin McDermott Jewelry: BOGO on jewelry
- Sarah Marie Designs Studio (fun clothes for your favorite runner!): 20% off whole site
- Rachel Allene shop (that ‘These are the days’ mug has my name on it!): 25% off
- Evelyn Henson (love her fun artwork!): 25% off with SHOPSMALL25
- Elyse Brandau Art (her pet paintings are perfect!)
Let me know what you snagged today and what small businesses you love supporting. I’d love to continue adding to this list!
