Urban Jacksonville

There are lots of benefits to buying local: less packaging and package waste, no shipping costs, which uses less fuel and it promotes/supports the local community. Here are my gift picks for this buy local holidazzle!

Recommendations from Emily, the owner

Mention you saw this on Urban Jacksonville 10% off of an entire purchase.

For the ladies
I love Molly M. jewelry. Everything is priced at $38 for the small pendants and earrings and $48 for the large. It’s laser cut wood and acrylic. All handmade in San Francisco. We’re also all stocked up on party dresses and other great sparkly jewelry!

For the guys
We’ve got great new tees from Upper Playground and Obey, as well as $20 artist series wallets by Poketo. These wallets are produced by Poketo but the images are designed by different artists from around the country and makes great pocket art!

For the kids
Allover print hoodies from Loyal Army are too cute! sized to 4T, $32.

For your friends
I really tried to get alot of $10 and under gifts this year. Our “saving up for good weed” bank ($9) is back and always funny! And there’s always the book of seriously bad baby names ($6) for the person that has everything.

Come on now...

Alrighty then...what's going on? We need our urbanjacksonville to return. Please keep us updated as to what the hell to do in this fair city so we can stay entertained (and keep our out of town guests happy) with the latest, greatest things to do over the holidays. Please!!!!

Christmas is Humbug!

Don't go there Johnny. Its not your style.

On another note a local Blogger is going thru some major surgery (not Joey). I'm sure he wouldn't want me saying anything so I will just say this. Be thankful for all you have and be forgiving and giving and enjoy your life. Its way more important than BLOGS and shopping and all that. Take a minute and send some vibes of thanks. Every day is a gift.
Mom Marchy

Don't you say that about my son's blog
Just sayin (the real)

urbanjacksonville is starting to suck.

no new post in 3 days!

If Wolfgang was open then you couldn't tell because all of the lights were off. I did see someone in the back but the place wasn't exactly shouting 'come on in'. I did stop in Anomoly... Maybe I should try again.

were all open past 6pm last night.

This is a great post. I have to say though, the shops in Five Points are all pretty unique and all have good offerings but I went by on my way home from work yesterday at 5:30pm and almost all of them were closed. They really need to get a clue and give us faithful shoppers some extended holiday hours.
Johnny Rotten

too is much smarter than one.
just saying, too

it seems by now that people would learn not to respond to things/people that bother them. it just keeps the issue going and you are giving that frustration(person) all the more reason to keep frustrating you.
Johnny Rotten

Just saying. eat shit. you are just as much of an anonymous loser as I am. Mainly because each time I post your the first with a tough guy response.
dumb fuck
Just sayin (the real)

And of course my impassioned defense should imply that I think this is a great post, Joey.
Just sayin (the real)

I know, Ed. I just have very good friends who own businesses and work in 5 Points, and to see some anonymous coward bitch denigrate their hard work infuriates me.
edliberatori

Easy fellas... Where's the holiday spirit? Great gift ideas Joey. I'm loving arturos shirts! BUY LOCAL!!
Just sayin (the real)

I won't indulge you. You're a real big man, and really, really cool, getting on the internet and anonymously trashing people's hard work. I think everyone here can see you're a fucking loser. And a pussy, too.
Johnny Rotten

I'm just saying.no need to get all pissy. explain to me why I'm wrong and I'll retract what I said.

I do fuck myself daily, it's healthy. Thanks for caring. You should too, it's a great way to release stress, which all losers tend to have plenty of.

Ask Stephen Dare should you need some pointers, I am sure he'll give you a hand rubbing one out.
just sayin'

Johnny Rotten:
God you're such a badass, man. Really.
And a bastion of originality, too.
Go fuck yourself, loser.
Johnny Rotten

5 points sucks. all the stores are crap
Phil

Those 3 CDs rock.
Bought a bag from Burro and I'm getting one for my sister in Boston.
And of course Anomaly rocks as well. Got a black OBEY hoodie from there. And more presents.
