In The Season :: Retail Therapy Guide 11/24/2023

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, we hope you had a good one! We hope you have delicious leftovers, but if not, we know plenty of good places that are open and ready for you! All in all, we want to express our gratitude for all of you who are still here with us. Following out stories, posts, ideas, etc. There is no ALBB without you - who is reading this - and we are overwhelmed with gratitude. It's Black Friday, but tomorrow is Small Business Saturday! Shop small! It's super easy to get busy around the holidays and it's super easy to shop on Amazon... but there is nothing like a gift from a small business... where you can't get the gift anywhere else... so it's that much more special!
