Since I value my sleep, I barely make it to any stores in Lincoln before Black Friday deals end. So the thought of making in time to another city had never occurred to me. Until now. Maybe this will be my goal – after all these 2 local stores have specials all day – not just for the early birds! Thanks, Kim, from Oh My! Omaha for sharing these 2 places with us!
There are a lot of locally owned stores in Omaha, but two that are great for Christmas shoppers looking for unique gifts are The Afternoon and Le Wonderment. Luckily, they both have Black Friday deals for bargain hunters.
The Afternoon has two locations in Omaha: the original is at Westroads Mall, and the other is at Midtown Crossing. This place is great for gifts for everyone – the foodie, the creative, the traveler, the young, the funny – things you won’t find in a big box store. On Black Friday, save 25% all Christmas items (dept 18) at the Westroads location from 6 a.m. to noon and at the Midtown Crossing store from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, you’ll get 25% all Melissa and Doug items at both stores.
Le Wonderment is in the Old Market (just north of 11th and Howard). This is what toys stores were meant to be: inviting toys you can play with before you buy, colorful, full of educational toys, and they carry the toy getting lots of buzz, GoldieBlox. The store’s Black Friday specials are 15 % off themed and custom holiday gift baskets, and you’ll get a $25 gift card with the purchase of MZ Handbags. (They also feature gifts for dogs!)
Thanks for asking me to share some of my favorite stores in Omaha! I love how you support shopping locally!
When I read “Buy Local” and “Omaha”, my first thought was The Afternoon. A great store.
We are hoping to come to Omaha next week – maybe we will have to make a point to stop there. Thanks again for writing this , Kim!
