Few days of the year are as conflicting as Black Friday. On the one hand, getting a great deal is an undeniable thrill; on the other, the thought of scrambling through the retail fray can be enough to make even the most eager shopper stay in. Thankfully, lots of local boutiques are offering discounts and in-store promotions that will help you score amazing finds on the cheap without spiking your anxiety levels. Considering that some shops are even offering in-store refreshments and free gifts with purchase, you might even leave more relaxed than you came.
Current Boutique

Enjoy 20% off at all Current Boutique locations on Friday; head to the Alexandria location if you want to get an especially early start, as doors will open at 6 a.m. Current's other four locations open at 10 a.m.

Vendors will be offering food and drinks, and the agenda also includes art installations and a concert by The Walkmen. Can't say that about Black Friday at the mall.
