Every year I set out with a plan on how to tackle Black Friday and the subsequent days. Generally I hit the larger stores and malls on Black Friday, then I make way through the small town main streets on Small Business Saturday, and flea markets on Sunday. All this really gets me into the holiday spirit!
This year, here is my Grey Week shopping plan:
Monday – Wednesday: A girl’s gotta work! I’ve got to pay for all of these gifts somehow!
Thursday: A girl’s gotta eat!
BLACK FRIDAY:
On Black Friday I focus on big retailers & malls

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY:
On S.B.S. I focus on smaller boutiques, around the Los Angeles Area I will be checking out
Abbot Kinney, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. At smaller boutiques you can find
unexpected treasures, so it's important to keep an open mind and a thorough gift list.

any remaining recipients.
