Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

I love the holidays but I’m notorious for last minute shopping. With Christmas less than two weeks away, I better get started. I’ve again included a few options to buy local—and unique—in the Weekend Roundup.

Now, if I could only find those stockings I bought four years ago when we first arrived back in Detroit. It looks like the mantle will be naked for yet another year.

Get out there and enjoy Detroit!
