one for you
SHOP LOCAL
{ one for me, too. }
LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD
{ Between sales, festivals + shows, dope merch, and increased exposure to quality stores + boutiques … shopping local for the holidays is hard! … On your conscience. When shopping local, I say: grab 1 for your family or friend + (at least) 1 for you, too. With these 3 spots – you can. }

Pssst. Did you know there’s a secret to buying the best gifts? It’s the Won’t-Buy-It-For-Myself factor. And it’s powerful! Check it:
- Ever see something while shopping for yourself + think – YES. But you never buy it.
- Even better, you say – That’d be a perfect gift for me! { You know you have. }
The It Factor. That’s exactly what these boutiques + artisan have and are. The pieces + items that your family + friends always want, but never buy. Think about it:
- You find a $20 necklace but don’t want to shell-out the fancy cocktail money? You say – Maybe next time.
- You gravitate toward seasonal accessories + think – I love it! But what if I don’t wear it next year?
- What about the piece that enhances your surroundings? – It’s not something I need, you say.
ssshh:
this is what makes a gift giver great!#ShopLocal. Cardigan – Peppermint. Tank – Second Storie. Jewelry – Fahsye, The Knotty Owl, Erica Bello.
The It Factor is the Won’t-Buy-It-For-Myself factor. And that’s what makes a gift giver great! When you can identify that 1 gift a friend really loves, but would never buy herself – buy it. Trickiest thing? Not buying one for yourself, too!
fear not!
guilt-free shopping
At these 3 #ShopLocal spots in #Roc – you will find It factor gifts. Great thing? They’re so affordable … you buy something for you, too! { Guilt. Free. }
