The folks at Takeover Friday have put out an invite to Paper Skyscraper's Family Night, going down tomorrow night.
The perks?
A 15 percent discount on all purchases for the evening 5 p.m.-9 p.m.
Drawing for a Thymes "Frazier Fir" Gift Basket (candles, soap, spray cleaner, etc.) valued at more than $100.
Goodie bags with coupon for 15 percent off one purchase on a future visit, good through Dec. 24.
You should go. Why? Because this shop has been rated over and over again as one of the best places to buy gifts in Charlotte. And it's locally owned by two great guys. Need I say more?

The folks at Cottage Chic have decided to go a more peaceful route to the big sales weekend. Instead of the madness associated with Black Friday (I can just imagine the traffic jam sure to choke up East Boulevard where the shop is located), head out to Cottage Chic the following day for Pink Saturday. You'll be treated to 15 percent off your total in-store purchase.
