For those of you who enjoy waking up too early, drinking too much coffee and joining the masses for the year’s busiest shopping day, don’t miss what Capitol Hill has to offer.

As of now, over 60 businesses will be partaking in this year’s Black Friday extravaganza: Shop the Hill! Here’s a few that are on our “must” list:

Score some stellar Holiday letter press cards at KOBO, or visit Veridis for that LBD you’ve been looking for (20% off any one item). Next, browse Scout Apparel’s selection of luxe sweaters (note: you won’t find any ugly Christmas sweaters here). While you’re at it, get a little greener and stop by NuBe Green for some uber-cool, eco-friendly home furnishings. If Black Friday didn’t satisfy your shopping needs, many stores will continue to offer similar specials for “Small Business” Saturday and Sunday.
