Here it comes—Black Friday! For some it means running wild in shopping malls; for others it means hiding out until the crowds die down. If you’re one of the shoppers, you might want to check out some of these weekend events.

Through Sunday, November 30: You can always use a new pair of jeans, right? National Jean Company’s two local shops (Reston and Bethesda) are giving shoppers 30 percent off the highest-priced item they buy and 20 percent off additional purchases. Don’t miss this opportunity to get discounted designer denim!

Friday, November 28: Bloomingdale’s in Tysons Corner Center is hosting an Abby Joy Jewelry trunk show from 11 to 5. Each piece in the collection is made with a hand-sculpted wax mold and then crafted into silver or gold.
