With holiday shopping in full swing, everyone is looking for a way to save. Sometimes, it means thinking outside the box, or perhaps, across the border?
Everything inside Whiskeyjack boutique is made in Canada, including their beautiful artwork, but perhaps their best gift to Detroiters this holiday season: some really good bangs for your American buck.
Katie Stokes, the owner of the Windsor boutique, said her American shoppers are often in for a nice surprise at checkout.
We get a lot of Americans that shop with us on a regular basis," Stokes said. "Sometimes it's fun to give them that piece of information where they realize everything is basically 30 percent off for them."
It's not a bad deal for Illinois resident Brittney Ocampo.
