We're closing up shop early this week, what with the long Thanksgiving weekend and all. Tomorrow, I'll be enjoying an (allegedly) awesome cream up mushroom soup with my in-laws in upstate New York, and Friday, I'm boarding up my windows so as not to be sucked in by Black Friday madness. If you find yourself missing us, just type "Black Friday" into the search engine, andtoday's posts will guide you through the weekend sales.

Next week, we'll be gearing up for the major holiday season and, from the looks of it, you're ready to spend (if only on yourself):

• you ogled the most perfect ring ever for your indie rock lover
• you wished for a pair of your very own slipper boots, for use inwinter hibernation
• speaking of hibernation, these hoodies brought out the animal in you
• but you still enjoy wearing T-shirts year-round
• and, no matter what, booze is still the best gift, for both you and your friends+fam
