Brace yourself… for the holiday shop-splosion that is Sq/Ft! Their surprising stash of yuletide inventory makes the season bright – never boring. Fill Santa-approved sackfuls with hand-spun hipster ornaments, candy-cane striped knee-highs, disco ball tree toppers, festive felted garland, and oh-so-much more. Get your gift list out and check it twice. Shop Sq/Ft’s BLACK FRIDAY SALE and take 30% off the whole shop from 9 to 10 a.m. (with more deals throughout the day). That’s hip home goods, gifts galore, eye-catching coffee table books, snarky stationery, and stand-out accessories and apparel for men and women. They’ve got something for everyone (…or is it ‘a bunch of things for myself’?)

greenes-fine-foods


Find finishing touches for your festive feast at Greene’s Fine Foods on East Trinity Place. Add a customized tin of fresh and flavorful pecans to the buffet. Serve house-made fudge with the coffee. Or go classic with candy! Shop pops, gum drops, gummi butterflies or fighter jets and, of course, chocolate-covered-just-about-everthings. They hand-dip quality nuts, fruits, caramels, potato chips, you name it, in premium milk and dark chocolates. And they offer beautifully crafted truffles as well – that’s like chocolate dipped in chocolate. (Sign me up!) Greene’s is the lovable local candy shop that sells craft beer, too! So once your sweet tooth is satisfied, hit up their growler taps and wine selection.
