Okay, mobsters – here are this week’s two lucky (and randomly-selected) winners: Charly W (whose most recent local purchase was Vermont maple syrup from the Woodstock Farmers Market) and Megan C. Congrats!
Lovers of local, connoisseurs of craftsman, and followers of all things fun, get ready to do some serious browsing. Scoutmob is a lot of things (flash deals, events calendar, online flea market…) but through it all there’s a charming emphasis on local. This week they’re inviting two of you to spend $200 in their Shoppe, a curated collection of independent artisans and makers who often weave hometown pride into their work. There’s tons of cheery, clever, and skillful stuff to discover, and you can browse by category or even by city. You know, if you wanna see just what your neighbors are making these days.

I purchased an adorable pair of red striped shorts for my 6 year old. Can’t wait to see those skinny legs in them!

MOB ME! My favorite local purchase is a poster that a friend designed that is taken largely from the train station location posters. It names over a dozen areas of my hometown (Nashville), and she customized it to include the zip code I grew up in and some of my local hangouts and areas I like.

Oops I forgot to add! My husband is in the military so we move around a lot and we love our home (Chicago) so any way we can incorporate it into our home is a must! My friend from highschool started her own business and we ordered a crotched Illinois pillow and a hand painted skyline of our beloved city. We had them shipped to us while we were stationed overseas and we still have it almost 5 years later today! Love local things!

I’m a big fan of local eats in St. Louis. My parents were in town this past weekend so I took them to a few of my favorite spots: Bogart’s BBQ, Uncle Bill’s Pancake House, and Courtesy Diner. No reason to support chains when there are far superior local options.
