6 Small Business Saturday Deals!

Take a break from the mall and mainstream stores, and show local and small businesses some love.

During the first ever Small Business Saturday, American Express cardholders who signed up will get a $25 credit on their billing statement when they spend $25 or more at a small business today.

Even if you don't have an AMEX card, many local businesses are still offering deals and discounts. Here are five Small Business Saturday incentives I found:

AC AGATES designer Andrew Clark is known for unusual handcrafted jewelry. I discovered the Brooklyn craftsman's sterling silver and gemstone-adorned Wishbone earrings at a Shecky's Girls Night Out event and they're a steal for only $15 each.
