Alternative Ways to Spend Black Friday that do not involve SHOPPING

If you’re looking for alternative ways to celebrate Black Friday, here are some ideas:

Support Small Businesses: Instead of shopping at big-box stores, consider supporting small businesses in your area. Go out for lunch or coffee, book a salon treatment, window shop, and make a plan to buy some unique gifts from their shop this holiday season.

Volunteer: Consider volunteering at a local food bank, shelter, or other charitable organization. This is a great way to give back to your community and help those in need.

Spend Time Outdoors: Take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and spend time outdoors. Go for a hike, visit a park, or take a scenic drive.

Host a Potluck: Invite friends and family over for a potluck dinner. This is a great way to enjoy good food and company without breaking the bank.

Get Creative: Spend the day working on a creative project such as painting, writing, or crafting. This is a great way to unwind and express your creativity.

Have a Movie Marathon: Gather some friends and family and have a movie marathon. Choose your favorite films or try something new.



Take a Day Trip: Plan a day trip to a nearby town or attraction. This is a great way to explore new places and create lasting memories.

Decorate for the Holidays: If you haven’t already, this is a great day to get your home ready for the holidays. Dinner is taken care of, just heat up those leftovers, put on some holiday music and turn your home into a winter wonderland.

Remember, Black Friday is just one day, and there are many other ways to celebrate the holiday season.
