What’s a Thanksgiving holiday without a shopping spree to burn off the calories? We all know that the biggest deals of the year happen this weekend during Black Friday. While tons of people will be lined up (and camped out) at malls and big box retailers, we suggest a more relaxed and personal experience at local boutiques.
