Christmas Tree Shops

Christmas Tree Shops: Where all the holidays and seasons of the year come together. Where Thanksgiving decorations go up in September and Halloween overlaps with Christmas.
For the return policy alone, I think CTS deserves 4 stars. You can return anything at ANY TIME as long as you have a receipt! I’d purchased some centerpieces for an event, but after using them, decided I didn’t want to keep them — and I got to return them all for a full refund, which meant got all the benefits (and compliments!) of hosting a festive event without having to break the bank! Otherwise, the cluster is reminiscent of a typical dollar store… except not everything is a dollar.
I would definitely recommend checking out CTS for holiday related items — as they seem to have a great assortment of decorations as well as themed tableware. It is a dangerous place though, you will most definitely find yourself spending more money than you planned buying a bunch of random stuff you don’t really need… be careful!
TIP: if you are looking for cheap (but still pretty good quality) greeting cards, CTS would be the place to go. I stopped at CTS before heading to Marshalls to look for some ‘thank you’ cards, and I’m glad I did. Instead of the $ 5 – 8 I would have paid at Marshalls, I paid $ 3 for a set of 16 ‘thank you’ cards!

This is my go to place each and every holiday for
crafts for my nieces and nephews They also stock beauty and bah supplies.
I have to get there before prices rise in november.

I love Christmas Tree Shops all together. This location is always insanely busy when I’ve shopped.
I totally agree with Antonella — the other locations Danbury, Paramus, Spring Valley are nicer than this location. (Big Box stores should really have their own parking lot. At least 3 times another car almost hit mine backing out…)
I happened to need something very specific so this visit I was in and out. Thank goodness!

I come here when i’m looking for decorations/​theme items. Valentine’s day, St Patrick’s day and Easter. (I find that it’s cheaper then michael’s). Place is usually a little disarray but then when i go it’s usually late in the afternoon. But the associates are friendly and helpful.

I was introduced to this store years ago by a coworker and went a few times to their location in NJ until I learned they had one in Westchester County. Its a knick knack store with different household goodies that I love. Yes, they go big during the xmas holidays but even during the off holidays you can find some cool, interested and affordable household items.

Great store for seasonal items. My wife loves going there. Problem is some food items are expired & other items were junk. If you get on their email list, you will get notified of deals & get coupons.

Love this store. They have everything you need and the prices are great. Always have new things but if you see something and want it you have to get it then. Great selection of holiday items.

Shopping here feels like dumpster diving, but to be fair, some items are amazingly cheap. I found a pack of coloring books for my kid which came out to 60 cents a book. We also got stickers and a princess card game for next to nothing.
On the other hand, not everything is a deal; you really do have to know your prices or you’ll risk paying too much. For example, most of their name brand food and household products seem to be on par or a bit higher than you’d find at a mainstream store. Why bother getting them here when you could get them on your normal supermarket run?
They also have a ton of no frills personal care products which are cheap enough, but in my opinion, you may be getting ripped off on the quality. Do you really want to save 80 cents on deodorant and trust that the one called «Casino Man» will do the job? I don’t.
That aside you can certainly save a few bucks here if you have time and patience to seek out the deals or don’t care about where your stuff is sourced. Check it out and see if it works for you!

Skip this place is you think you’re going to find something nice to trim your tree with. This place is more like a lousy dollar store, at best. Not at all impressed.

Great store, great prices, extremely overwhelming to shop during day on the weekend. Never again. They need another location where I live because it’s just frustrating with the amount of people shopping. Other than that I found great deals since they are affiliated with Bed Bath & Beyond and Harmon’s beauty supply stores.

I have one rule with buying at CTS — only buy decorative items that are not supposed to have any functionality. If it’s supposed to have functionality, it probably won’t function the way you think it will.
For example, I bought myself and my sister what looked like silicone oven mitts. Not only did they not protect your hands from the heat, they actually amplified the searing heat — conducting the heat directly from the hot pan, through the oven mitt to your skin. I don’t know what the oven mitts were made of but definitely not silicone or any material that protects your skin from heat.
I also got tea light holders that were shaped like little lighthouses. cute. The first time i used them I picked up one by the handle to move it to a different spot on the table. Burning Searing Hot, even the little handle on top that was made for picking it up. The whole thing was made of metal. If it had been set on a plastic table cloth, it would have melted a hole through it. I still have them on a shelf for decoration but I don’t light the candles.
I’ve been burned by the Christmas Tree Shops many times (so to speak). Maybe I’m just unlucky?

Oh. My. Gosh. I love this place! They have everything. Flamingo string lights? Check! Shower curtains? Check! Mason jars? Check! Ottomans? Check! Tiki torches? Check! Salsa made in Brooklyn? Check!!!
Most everything you could need. Even more stuff that you don’t need, but you WILL find yourself buying. If you leave here empty-​handed, well, I don’t think you’re human.
Prices are a mixed bag. Just be careful if you’re trying to save money. Some things are an amazing deal, while other things are overpriced.

They have a huge variety of discounted items for every occasion. The store is clean and could be organized and disorganized at times. the location is very convenient, the parking is oftentimes very easy. Can’t ask for more, bathroom maybe?

I don’t care what anyone else says but I totally love this place You find so many cool things for amazing prices. .who needs bed bath and beyond I found most of the items from bed bath at Christmas tree for half the prices, I just wish they had one closer to me I either have to go to Yonkers or Staten island boo. I would be so happy if they open one so much closer. they pretty much sell anything from soap to patio furniture to dog supply’s to kid supply’s to anything for your house even yummy snacks and cheap kcups for my keruig .
when ever I come here hubby goes there goes my wallet because I do come out with so many bags but hey its are a bargain so then he gets happy again because I purchased so many items for cheap lol

Christmas Tree shop with no Christmas ornaments for sale during Christmas? Seems lame to me. I walked in here and it was like a hodge podge of junk all made in China. It was filled with crap you can buy at the dollar store. Not a fan.

The prices at the Christmas Tree Shops are so low it almost feels like stealing when I shop here. The place is like a convenience store writ large – they seem to carry a little of everything, but with an obviously expanded selection of seasonal and holiday decorations.

In the summer, Christmas Tree Shop is devoid of Christmas decos. Functions as a K-​mart with a myriad of knick knacks.
It’s a fun place to browse around if you have ton of time on your hands. Things here are cheap at whole sale prices, but don’t expect high quality stuff. Expect to see things here and there opened or damaged.
A lot of kids roaming around and seniors browsing to their heart’s content.
Their food section is a little shady… you wonder why their food merchandise are sold at a cheaper price than your local supermarket.
The place for seasonal and outdoor decorations.

This place sells a little bit of everything. It’s a slightly higher end $.99 store where you can grab last minute things if need be.

Store sell a lot a things for a very reasonable prices.

The largest selection of discount merchandise I’ve ever seen under one roof.
Great place to shop for sunscreen/​tanning proucts. 70% lower than CVS and RiteAid. Fabulous selection of 4^th of July decorations and gardening supplies, housewares, pet suplies, patio furniture, cleaning products… you name it and they have it!
