Veterans Day 2013 Weekend Special

Tag your tree this weekend, while the weather is nice and we’ll cut it for you later!  Plus all trees are only $37 – that’s a savings of $5.

In addition, $5 from the sale of every tree will be donated to Homes for our Troops, a group that helps rebuild the lives of our severely injured Veterans through the gift of a high quality, specially adapted home that provides freedom of movement and the ability to live independently.

Grave Blankets Are Available

A little more festive!

All of our grave blankets are made fresh using at least five different type of greens – douglas fir, balsam fir (from Maine), white pine, holly, and cedar.  There are many styles to choose from; no two are alike!

Visit our Facebook page for the latest photos – we posted a few here also.

This grave blanket has a white dove in the center.

Here's a sample of one of our grave blankets.

People Still Prefer Real Christmas Trees

According to a Harris Interactive poll for the National Christmas Tree Association, Americans have not lost their interest in traditional holiday decor, spending $1.7 billion last year on Christmas trees. Real trees outsold artificial trees three to one last year, 30.8 million versus 9.5 artificial trees.

Sixteen percent of real trees were cut down by the consumer as opposed to purchased from a vendor.

The latest trend in Christmas tree shapes is the ‘skinny’ tree – read more about it in this Wall Street Journal article.

In spite of the trend towards 'skinny' trees, the majority still prefer a more traditional shape.

Grand Opening for the 2012 Season

This year we’re opening on 11/23/12 from 9AM to 4 PM for tagging. What a great time of year to tag a tree – before it gets super cold! Once again we’ll have freshly made balsam wreaths from Maine in some interesting new shapes.

This year we have a lot of fun things planned. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, all trees will be $5 off. This is being offered in conjunction with our neighbor, Plagido’s Winery. They have a great event planned for the New Jersey Wine Trail Weekend, and we’ll have a display of our wreaths and grave blankets at the winery.

Holiday Safety

Make sure that your tree is not too close to any heat sources – fireplaces, television sets, radiators, etc. These can prematurely dry out your tree and cause the needles to drop. Also be sure to turn off your decorations before you go to bed and when you leave home.

Balsam Wreath Blow-Out

This weekend (Friday 12/3 through Sunday 12/5) is Balsam Wreath Blow-Out – $2 off of any balsam wreath, decorated or plain. These are very fragrant, double sided balsam wreaths, and all of them come with a beautiful red bow.  You can also chose one already decorated, or decorate one yourself – we have a lot of items to choose from.
