As a follow up to my local KC Gift Guide, I have found some really great discounts at some of my favorite local stores, just in time for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday!
Mid Coast Modern
This really cool, ultra-hip maker shop located in the Crossroads is having a sweet deal on T-shirts on Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday. As an added bonus, each person that buys $30 or more in the store will receive a “Midwest is Best” beer glass to enjoy a Boulevard or favorite local craft beer over the holidays in! (The glass in itself would make a great hostess gift with a 6-pack of Nutcracker Ale!) Mid Coast Modern fills its store with home goods, apparel, jewelry, artwork and limited edition gifts. They support makers/artists from the “mid coast” and brings in goods from makers/artists around the U.S., to offer a unique, fresh selection. Located at 2119 Washington, this store should be on your list! The MADE t-shirt is on my wish list!
Shine Candle Co.
Shine Candle Company is a small batch candle company located in the KC metro area. The company produces soy-wax candles with lead-free cotton wicks and pure essential oils making these candles eco-friendly and sustainable. Shop the website on #BlackFriday, #SmallBusinessSaturday and #CyberMonday and you will find deals on these truly beautiful candles! Deals start Friday! On my list? No. 6 WELL Cinnamon leaf blend Immune boosting and healing aromatherapy candle to fight off the bugs during flu season.
