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.

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two

Mob me!!!! My husband and I stopped by our favorite local cupcakery this past weekend: Confections in Manassas, VA (visit their website here: http://www.confectionsonline.com/). Their cupcakes are AMAZING. My husband is in love with their Samoas cupcakes (and they have other Girl Scout cookie varieties as well!), and I can’t get enough of their chocolate dipped cupcakes. Anyone who lives in the DC area should definitely check them out! (And John, it may be worth a trip from Richmond for you, Sherry, and Clara!) :)

I am a big fan of consignment shops for ALL of my son’s clothes, toys, etc., so the purchase that has been the best would have to be our Orbit Stroller and Toddler Seat!!!! WE ARE IN LOVE!! We have purchased a few strollers from various consignment stores because my son refuses to sit and ride in ANY of them for longer than 15 minutes. :| The very first day, we spent 2 and 1/2 hours in Target while he was awake, with NO snacks and with NO meltdowns!! What a difference a stroller makes!! lol..

Mob me!!
I bought 8 (yes, 8) boxes of Samoas a few weeks ago, because I reallllly love my Samoas. The guy next to me in line commented that I was buying a year’s supply, and in my head I wanted to respond “try a week!” because I can finish off a box of those babies in a day. In the end, I just nodded and smiled. And sure enough, I ate all 8 boxes of Samoas in 9 days.
