Give a Shout-Out to Your Favorite Small Business

Maybe you love camping out for the best prices on Black Friday, or staying inside your warm home and rapidly shopping on Cyber Monday. But for those of you who prefer to avoid both of these frantic shopping holidays, there's a new way to buy gifts for the holiday season — Small Business Saturday.

American Express created Small Business Saturday to put local small businesses into the spotlight at the beginning of the holiday shopping madness. Tomorrow is the time to walk down Westwood Ave. for your shopping needs and avoid the large malls.

Westwood-Washington Patch wants to hear about your favorite small business. Give our small-town shopowners the business they deserve during the holiday season. Tell us in the comments which independently owned business is a must for shoppers this Saturday and why.

When you want to get your hair done, some new clothes, or a simple slice of pizza, where do you go?
