The Saturday after Thanksgiving has been designated as Small Business Saturday in an effort to support local business. Here in Friendswood you can shop for Christmas, and keep your dollars in the community. There are several small businesses that I love in our friendly little town. Here are just a few:

Style JunkieSTYLE JUNKIE BOUTIQUE – Oooo-la-la, Style Junkie has the lastest fashions for women of all ages, and they always have good sales leading up to Christmas. They are even having a pajama party Thanksgiving night from 10 p.m. to midnight – what fun! Style Junkie is located in the shopping center at the corner of FM 2351 and FM 518 near Tuesday Morning.

 

A-Plus Pack and ShipA-PLUS PACK AND SHIP – When you stop in to have your Christmas packages packed and shipped, you can spend some time shopping in the cute gift boutique that is set up in the waiting area. Every time I go in to A-Plus Pack and Ship, I find cool new things that make great gifts, and I always find something for myself as well! A-Plus Pack and Ship is located in the shopping center at the corner of FM 518 and FM 528 near the Goodwill donation center.

 

Friendswood Frame and GalleryFRIENDSWOOD FRAME AND GALLERY – If you’re looking for unique Christmas décor, decorative items for the house, or great local artwork, you need to stop in at Friendswood Frame and Gallery. They have beautiful things for the home, and you can get a lot of decorating ideas just by going in to look! Friendswood Frame and Gallery is located in the shopping center at the corner of FM 2351 and FM 518 near Tuesday Morning.

 



AmpersandAMPERSAND – Friendswood’s newest gift boutique is fast becoming a local favorite! They carry unique clothing, jewelry, home décor, candles, baby gifts, and much more. I recently stopped in there and purchased a beautiful Volcano candle that smells sooooo good! Ampersand is located on the corner of FM 528 and Sunset across from HEB.


 



Copy Dr.COPY DOCTOR – Shopping for Christmas at a printing and copying business might sound odd, but you can find cool stationery at Copy Doctor in Friendswood, and you can have them print custom Christmas cards for you! Copy Doctor is located on South Friendswood Drive (FM 518) close to City Hall.

 

Shop local this Saturday in Friendswood! See you there!

Rose, this post was so well put together. I love the pajama party idea! (We used to do "come as you are" parties, where when the hostess calls you, whatever you're wearing at the time you have to wear to the party).

I've been reticent in saying hello and think of you when I'm messing with my camera (and still trying to figure it out)!

Hope all is well.

CHRISTINE - I love to shop locally, and try to do so as much as possible. Thanks for stopping by!

GAYLE - So good to hear from you again! I am still fiddling with my camera, but I keep it on "Auto" most of the time. You would think that after a year, I would have learned more about the settings! :)

Rose, it's so much more fun to partonize small, locally owned retail shops than to fight through a big box store.
