Mim’s Off Main
Mim’s Off Main is located in a beautiful house that has been a gift shop for 32 years. Its owner, Lisa Vitek, is thrilled to have fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning a gift shop. Browse organic baby gifts, college-themed items, beautiful Vera Bradley patterns and more. Nora Fleming serving dishes have been popular lately, with interchangeable accent ceramics to make the dishes seasonal any time of the year. The passionate staff helps each customer find the perfect gift.

“We have loyal and new customers all the time," Lisa says. “We are like a little family here.”

Nostalgia Ink
Whether you are looking for traditional superhero comics, modern graphic novels or an exciting tabletop board game, Nostalgia Ink can recommend gifts to please anyone on your list.

“We can suggest for any age from 8 on up, starting with great family games and graduating to more complex games," owner Kevin Kluck says.

This season, there will be new legacy board games, intricate graphic novels from Image Comics and even roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons. The store hosts community game nights and has special Small Business Saturday plans, so make a trip to explore this store where there is truly something for everyone.

James Wolf Jewelers
Offering decades of experience and a commitment to customers, James Wolf Jewelers provides many unique pieces for men and women including fine bridal jewelry.

“We go above and beyond to make sure you leave our store happy,” co-owner Laura Wolf says.

The jeweler's reputation for quality has garnered an invitation to select diamonds in Antwerp, where each diamond is chosen for optimum clarity and sparkle. Stop in on Small Business Saturday to shop silver collections (25 percent off that day), the Tennessee Whiskey Jewelry collection for men featuring wood inlays from a genuine Jack Daniels barrel and other beautiful pieces.

Lavish Grace Boutique
Owner Angie Adkins created the boutique she wanted to shop in: an inviting space where people could be themselves while shopping for lovely and affordable clothing and home decor.

“‘Couture on a dime’ is what we go by,” she says. “I find new and trending pieces that still have something unique about them.”

Candleberry candles are popular, especially the Hot Maple Toddy scent for the holidays. Chic holiday decor, buttery-soft leggings, comfortable and gorgeous cardigans and more will be available on Small Business Saturday, but shop often to see new items arriving every week.
