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.
- PRIZE: A $200 gift card to Scoutmob’s Shoppe
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOB ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s something you’ve purchased locally lately that you love? Did you chow down on an awesome cupcake at a bakery down the street? Did you pick up some cool art at a recent craft fair? Or maybe you supported your local Girl Scouts by picking up a box of Samoas… or two…
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States.

MOB ME–Austin is all about handmade and local crafts so I’m spoiled. Twice a year, we have the Renegade Craft Fair for local artists and it’s like walking through the etsy website. Love it.

MOB ME, please.
There is this new little coffee shop/Bakery in my tiny town (they don’t even have a cash register yet!) and they also sell local art. I just about DIED when I saw the price tag and realized I could actually afford it because honestly, it looked like something I couldn’t afford. That is the beauty of supporting your local artists…especially one’s just starting to put there work “out there”. Also, they have great coffee and lattes, better and cheaper and it really puts those chain coffee shops to shame.
Amanda says
MOB ME!
I love frequenting our awesome DC food trucks!

Mob me! Iowa has an amazing craft beer scene that has been growing over the past few years, so I try to go to local breweries whenever I can for a beer or two during the weekend or by picking up a case of local beers at the grocery store.
