I'm a huge advocate for shopping locally, and Smokestack Pottery and Wool Hat in Old Town Fort Collins are making it easier for us to do this holiday season.
The Holiday Artisan Market is Friday, November 27th and Saturday the 28th from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. at the Fort Collins Senior Center. We have all the info for you.
REI is skipping Black Friday this year so its employees can play outside on trails, mountains, and the like.
The closure comes in addition to the day off employees get on Thanksgiving.
Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) is one of the biggest days of the year for shopping, but the outdoorsy co-op will close all of its 143 locations that day...
Holiday shopping can put us under a lot of stress. It also puts our wallets under a lot of stress. While we may recommend a spa day or an ice-cold beer to remedy the first one, we can help you with the latter. This holiday season, we have a chance for you to win $500 to The Promenade Shops at Centerra and a $1,500 Visa Gift Card. The best part is, entering to win is really easy!
It reminds one of the 1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "Jingle all the Way", parents won't have any fun this year if their Christmas shopping list includes a Disney movie "Frozen" doll.
It's definitely that time of year, especially when you realize there are only three paychecks till Christmas. Have you started your Christmas shopping, are you done or are you thinking hey, it's not Dec. 25 yet?
It's hard to imagine how holiday shopping got done before the Internet age—safe to say it was a headache, and a waste of CO2 (you know, with all those minivans cruising from mall to mall in search of the primo pre-Christmas deal). We don't know—we can't even remember that far back. These days, Christmas shopping is as easy as knowing all the good bargain hiding-places on the web.
