The three-day weekend following Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest shopping time of the year. Fueled by turkey and cranberries, selfless shoppers battle the bustle at crowded shops, in search of the perfect gifts for loved ones.
But many well-intentioned consumers find themselves at a loss for ideas for those special someones. NUVO showcases some of the hippest trends from the coolest local shops to inspire the Santa in you.
