Today is Black Friday and if you're not feeling the usual trip to the big-box retailer, we feel your pain.
Screw the crowds, the insane grabbing for the last Duck Dynasty flannel PJs, and the fighting for a parking spot because two of our favorite local Miami merchants are having some amazing Black Friday deals -- which last all weekend, by the way.
So today, have another cup of coffee and chill out. The mall can wait.
Michael's Genuine Food & Drink
Shop the Michael's Genuine online store, where you'll find gifts for both your favorite cook -- and people who wouldn't dream of stepping a pampered foot in the kitchen for anything other than a glass of champagne!
Your favorite beer guy will love a set of four Genuine Home Brew pint glasses ($16) or a trucker hat ($24); while your sweet friend would flip over a personalized, signed copy of Hedy Goldsmith's Baking Out Loud ($27.50) or an apron just like chef Goldsmith wears ($25). Plus, order a book-and-apron combo and take 20% off until Monday, December 2.
And, of course, there's always a Genuine Food & Drink gift card, good at any of Michael Schwartz's three Design-District restaurants.
As an added incentive, there's free shipping for orders over $75 and items shipped out-of-state are tax free. Shop now at michaelsgenuine.com/shop.
Schnebly Redland's Winery and Miami Brewing Company
The winery-brewery that turns tropical fruit into wine and beer is having a Black Friday sale that actually lasts all weekend long. Buy five bottles of tropical wine (prices start at $14.95 per bottle) or five growlers ($14.95 filled) and get a Miami Brewing Company t-shirt free!
There's also having a BOGO sale on wine cases. Buy one case of any wine (prices start at $167.40 for a case of 12 bottles) and get another case free -- that's 12 more bottles of wine on the house! Black Friday deals are only good at the winery (no mail order).
Schnebly's also has several wine-of-the-month clubs with a twist: each shipment contains selections made from tropical fruits like avocado, guava, and mango. The clubs start at $35.33 per month.
Take your wine home with you, or Schnebly's can ship to the following states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
