Christmas Tree Shops

A very friendly man with a bell greeted us in front of the building yelling, «Merry Christmas!!! And a happy new yeeeeeeaaaaarrrrrr!!! I almost burst out with laughter! He was asking for money for a charity. We didn’t give him anything but he still kept a friendly smile on his face. When we walked in I was surprised at how much I wanted everything. My mom and sister were amazed too (especially my sister). It took us about an hour to get around the store but it was definitely worth it. We bought so many convenient things, and at a good price, too. I honestly didn’t know this was a great store like this. I thought it sold Xmas trees. Highly recommended.

I called ahead of time to check and see if what I was looking for was available, the employee confirmed and said there was plenty in stock. When I got there I looked around for 10min and couldn’t find it, took me another 5min to search for someone who worked there. The employee pointed me in a general direction and said to look around. So I searched for another 15min and walked all around the store in all areas and still couldn’t find it or another employee to ask. I finally went up to customer service where the employee stated generally the area I’d already search extensively. I have worked in retail before and I know the Holidays can be tedious on workers but the customer service was terrible and I left frustrated and without what I drove 30min for after confirming it was in stock. I love the Christmas tree shops but this store was a complete disaster!

I love Christmas tree shops.
i definitely look forward to going through their ad in the paper.
My go to place for inexpensive candles, gift bags, tissue paper, individual cups of KRAVE!!!, etc ;)
I got my keurig here on a great deal :)

I love Christmas Tree Shops! It’s not the place to go when you are looking for high end merchandise, but when you are looking for a variety of items without spending a fortune, well then this is your place.
They have everything from seasonal items like (duh) Christmas lights and ornaments to kitchenware to furniture to groceries and greeting cards. It’s also a great place for browsing; you can find items that you never knew you needed.
I always enjoy my trips here and leave with a basket full of stuff.

This is the worst junk I’ve ever seen. I drove quite a distance to get cheap curtains. I left empty handed. Store is filled with slow moving obese women using the cart for stomach support. Makes Wal-​Mart look like fine dept. store.

So Christmas Tree Shop is one of those love it or hate it kind of stores. You have to pick through things and they sell a lot of tacky crap. But when you are looking for cheap party decorations, spices, teas, candles or other things to create gift baskets THIS IS THE STORE.
Rarely will you find anything overpriced and i’ve found the staff at this location to be decently nice and helpful. Beware! This place is MOBBED during the holidays and weekends. You also may walk out with guilt for buying so much crap from China.

To avoid the crowds I advise to go right when it opens or about 30 mins before it closes

I am so thrilled that others don’t want to shop there. More for me. I do get panic attacks from the crowds… ;-)
I just got a great deck awning (8×10) for 150 bucks. Can’t beat that. Also picked up a great selection of perennial bulbs and solar lights for my deck, cheaper than anywhere else. Go away, you other shoppers. I’m just fine with this place.

This is a great store for the Do It Yourself interior decorator. For you this store will be like Christmas whole year. Watching my wife in this store is like watching a little kid on Christmas Eve by the Christmas Tree.
The prices are great too, you definitely will save some money if you buy here. Be sure you walk in with a budget, cause you will overspend for sure if you are not careful.
Have fun, and Merry Christmas!

This store is great for knick knacks, garden stuff, like matts,
or even $ 1.00 hand soap. But be careful you might
end up collecting more junk — !

I would rather have each and every one of my toenails forcibly pulled out then shop here.

This store is great… if you think AIDS is great.
I went to this store looking for cheap household type things like glasses and stuff. All I really saw there was massive amounts of shit piled atop massive amounts of more shit. It’s like Martha Stewart’s garage-​from-​hell exploded inside a department store.
If you want an ugly-​ass snowman mail holder to hang in your kitchen, then go ahead and shop here. I suppose if the taste-​police haven’t caught you by now, they never will…
**ADDENDUM**
Ok, I suppose if you’re female this store holds some value for little knick knacks and whatnot. So just call it what it is… a flea market for women.
I mean, c’mon… at least when a guy buys stuff at a flea market it ends up somewhere in the back of the garage, out of plain sight. When a girl buys something at Xmas Tree Shop, it gets put on display for everyone to see! It’s just not right I tell you…

Now I know I’m really getting to be an old, ridiculous, get-​a-​life, suburban hag, because I like this place! I get very excited when I think about their oodles of tissue paper/​gift bags, cheap picture frames, assortment of cheap decorations, cards, and interesting selection of close-​out-​type food.
When I drag my husband there, he looks like he’s getting ready for his execution, but he still goes because he’s a good sport.
