Happy Thanksgiving, dear hearts! While you were busy gobbling mountains of turkey, turducken, marshmallow pies and other strange manifestations Americans are prone to stuffing down their gullet this time of year, we’ve been at it digging up finds from coast to coast to get you in the Black Friday retail mood. While the crowds trample each other at Walmarts, Targets and Macy’s, here are four fab independent stores, in New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles, where you’ll avoid the hurly-burly and Christmas shopping is sure to be a joy, not a chore.

Swoon.
