Gobble Like You Mean It The Deuces Live, Grand Central, the Edge and the Skyway Marina District want you to spend your dollars with them.

Let’s Get Small! Trust us, this is *not* the year you want to head to the mall to shop. Sure, you could go Amazon and drown in cardboard, but why not book it to Gulfport and put your money into thoughtful gifts from local artists and makers at the Shop Small Holiday Market. Lover of all things local Ester Venouziou asked the Gulfport Chamber if they’d partner with her to bring a shop small event to Third Saturday, and the Chamber threw its metaphorical arms open wide and said “Bring it!” – and she did. LocalShops1 will have artists, small businesses, and makers from Tampa Bay socially distanced in Gulfport. Start and finish your holiday shopping while shopping local – making time for coffee, lunch, and dinner downtown. Downtown Gulfport. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. fb.com/ visitgulfportfl MR SD DF V

West Side on the Move Surprise, surprise – St. Pete’s west side is, some would say, the best part of the ‘Burg. Not so sure about that? Head to Sunset Park for a food truck pop-up with Maggie on the Move. Feast on Filipino food (vegan or meat-laden) and spread out on the grass as you watch the sun set on Boca Ciega Bay. Sunset Park, 7400 Central Ave., St. Pete. 3-7 p.m. DF V

Beach Yoga Fun fact: The full beaver moon refers to the November full moon, which shines tonight. Head to the beach for a yoga session. Why the beaver moon? To honor beavers everywhere, who are making final preparation for their winter dens. Although you won’t find any beavers on Treasure Island – in Florida, beavers don’t venture too far south of the panhandle. Northernmost tip of Treasure Island. GPS address: 12700 Gulf Blvd., Treasure Island. 4:30 p.m. Donations accepted; bring your own mat.

Island Historical Society, South Pasadena Community Band, Preserve the ‘Burg, St. Petersburg Free Clinic, St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, St. Petersburg Historical Society, Dr. Carter Woodson African American Museum, Friends of Strays, Suncoast Animal League, Academy Prep Center, Friends of Johnson Branch Library… that’s to get you started. Find the charity of your choosing at givingtuesday.org or guidestar.org. V

Got Pot? People love gifts you made the most, but skip the macaroni art this year and make your own pottery. If you love what you make so much you want to keep it, well, we’ll never tell. Plus, it’s always fun to learn a new skill. The Hive, 559 49th St. S., St. Pete. 6:30 p.m. $40 for two week sessions. fb.com/thehivestpete. 727- 290-6515.

Cat Improv This improv workshop allows cats and humans to work together to explore the wonderful world of “Yes, and…” acting. Of course it’s improv; after all, cats are notoriously bad at memorizing lines. Class size limited to 10 humans. No word on how many cats they’ll allow. Sunshine Kitty Catfe, 1669 1st Ave. S., St. Petersburg. 6:30 p.m. $25.
