Hey Seattle readers, ready to get your holiday shopping on? This year more than ever it's important to support local businesses with our shopping dollars, and the newly launched Seattle City Stimulus program makes doing so easy and fun! Launched by the lovely (and smart) friend of Junebug, Shannon Kelly, City Stimulus is "a grass-roots marketing campaign to urge buyers to shop local and to shop small. To "forego the super-mega-big-box for the local and the curated, the innovative and the hand made." Sounds good to me! Just visit www.citystimulus.com, or their profile on Facebook, print out your free membership card and see all the deals you're eligible for in the coming week.

Here are just a few of the offerings we're excited about...
