The traditional image of Black Friday is fights at big-box stores over discounted electronics, malls packed to the rafters and crazy shoppers storming hypermarkets for the must have Christmas toy at 50% off.
What if you love to shop, but fighting over deep discounted televisions and chain store sweaters isn't for you? Here's a couple of picks for Black Friday deals at local, independent stores.
- Gorgeous lingerie emporium Flirt is giving away a free b.tempt'd thong with any purchase on Friday, while supplies last. Flirt can be found in St. Paul, at Snelling and Selby Avenue. And to make it even sweeter, you'll also receive a coupon for a free cupcake from brand new bakery Sweets Bakeshop with your purchase.
- Eco-conscious consumers should stop by Twin Cities Green in Uptown Minneapolis on Friday. Everything in the store will be 20% off. And the deals continue into the weekend, with 15% off everything on Saturday and 10% off on Sunday. Twin Cities Green is at 2405 Hennepin Avenue.
- Back in St. Paul, eco beauty parlor StormSisters Spatique's luxury skin, hair, nail and beauty products are all 25% off on Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., at their store at 635 South Smith Avenue.
- And back in Uptown, fashionistas shouldn't miss the sales at neighbors Covered, and Drama. The former specializes in high end designer denim with a fashion-forward selection of other clothes, the latter carries chic handpicked fashion from lesser-known designers. Whether you want to bag a pair of designer jeans or you want to find a dress that you can be certain no-one else will be wearing at Christmas parties, you'll save 30% on all purchases at both stores between 10 a.m. and noon on Friday, then 20% off all the rest of the weekend - and enjoy complimentary beer, wine and cider while you shop. At 1201 and 1203 Lagoon Avenue in Minneapolis.
