Small Business Saturday: Which Local Shops and Services Are You Most Thankful For?

Whether's it's a cup of hot coffee before hitting the road for your morning commute, a fantastic massage or facial to release the stress, a wonderful photographer who makes sure your holiday family photos are ones to cherish or a dry cleaner who always manages to resurrect your favorite suit, there are products and services in almost everyone's daily routine that make life in Cerritos or Artesia a little better.

To honor Small Business Saturday (Nov. 26), Patch is asking you to post the products, businesses and practitioners in Cerritos, Artesia or any nearby city that you couldn't live without.
