Christmas Tree Shops

This place is really great! It has a lot of great merchandise at valued prices! I especially like the shopping cart escalator! It’s really cool!

Went today. Love Christmas tree shop! Pluses, they have so many items! Negative, rude employees that stand in your way yapping with each other instead of helping customers !! Also brought several yard items such as gnomes and other garden items that the cashier just threw in the bag all together and didn’t even wrap them in paper when the paper was right next to her! When I took the bag and took them out to wrap them myself she said” oh, you wanted those wrapped”? Seriously!!! And don’t use the outside elevators! Nasty with trash on the floor and the walls in the elevator haven’t been washed in a very long time! I’ll stick with the location by Rockaway mall!

This place is a nightmare and everyone who works here is incredibly slow and unhelpful. It took me 30 minutes to check out and the line wasn’t that long.

A lot to look at so be prepared to be overwhelmed especially if it’s your first time. Also park on the top floor to avoid having to take the escalator.
Make sure to keep your receipt just in case you need to return anything. I’ve had to return a flashlight I purchased at the register because it didn’t work.

This store is filled with items you are not sure you ever needed until you saw it on shelf. Get there early! If you think you might want to purchase something do so because it will not be there next week. I have read that people complain that there are now Christmas trees there but they filled with seasonal things for each Holiday. This store has a convenient open time of 8am. Best time shop before the rush on weekend. Store is packed with different items like gourmet snacks and dressings to tea sets. Nothing in their stock surprises me.

I been to a few of these stores I have to say this might be the best one. Its pretty large and they have everything except make up (that’s why it didn’t get 5 stars). I love their prices and the selections. I can spend hours here and wiped out my bank account.
They don’t have a lot of employees on the floor in case you have a question but they do have plenty of registers opened and the line moves quickly.

Has lots stuff, very low price, but still can not beat amazing saving at teaneck, NJ.

The Christmas Tree Shop can be summed up like this. The place feels like they have gone door to door the day after Christmas and collected all of the crap gifts and tchotchkes that no one wanted. They then store them in a dusty warehouse and resell them the following year as «new seasonal deals». Most of the boxes should read «as seen on TB». Because you might need a TB shot just from touching a shopping cart.
If your looking for expired food from the back of your grandmothers pantry or a book shelf with three working legs this is the place for you.
And if you see my wife there shopping please tell her to put down the hula lawn elf and DuraflamZ logs and come home before you need a tetanus shot.
Bah Humbug

The name of this store is a misnomer as they are open year round and do not carry just Christmas trees. For example, yesterday, many fall items were on sale such as wreaths decorated with fall leaves, jack o lanterns, scarecrows, candies, pumpkins, etc.
They also sell random house hold knick knacks and spices and pillows and ottomans and benches and picture frames and much more.
I don’t know if there is any rhyme or reason to the layout so that’s why I didn’t give it more stars, but the workers seemed pleasant and helpful. When it appeared there were a lot of customers, they called for more cashiers to the registers.

This was my first ever Christmas Tree Shop. I came because someone suggested it to me when I complimented them on some kitchy thing they had in the house. I did not actually like the «thing» enough to think I would buy one for myself, but did want to see a store that actually sold it, especially to my generally good taste friend.
This store was an experience for me. Now I often visit them when I see them. A little bit of everything here. Fun outside plastic cups for the summer with funny straws. Basic cards and napkins if you want those. Tealights. Electric island trees for the backyard (in New England). This place is worth a stop just to see what they have that you did not know you needed.
OK parking.

found every thing i needed for my first christmas tree in the states :) the prices are really good for christmas decorations. loved the place.

This is used to be my playground. Now, it’s just some place without an identity. Once I saw bedsheets and cookies for sale, I decided to leave immediately.
Here’s the thing…
It used to be Christmas in here every day. Now it seems like it’s only Christmas for a couple of months. Everything looks cheap now. The lighting is terrible. Nothing is staged properly.
I’m no longer a fan…

To each their own… While some people don’t like shopping here calling it a cheap store, filled with crap, and tons and tons of people, I don’t know what to tell you. They probably have no problem walking into a Walmart during the season of their choice, that has 2 registers open and lines out the door.
Look, everything you hear about the place is true… Does it get busy? Yes! Is it filled with cheap stuff? Yes! But should you at least try it once? Yes!
While every store you visit during different seasons sell the same thing, I would put my money on trying to top this store without having to drive miles away. It is true… This store has stuff for you, stuff for me, and stuff to throw out… So don’t buy the garbage then. There is money to be saved if you just take your time and walk around. My wife wanted to get a mat for our front door with the first letter of our last name «D». I looked online and they sold for $ 30-​$ 35. She said they sell them at the Christmas Tree Shop… Guess what, last one with a D for… Get this, $ 6.99! Are you out of your mind?! I’m not saying this place can’t get annoying, but for what it’s worth, people need to realize we’re there for the same reason… SAVING MONEY!!!
I don’t know what people are talking about when they say the items need to be replaced every year. I don’t know about some people, but I don’t buy something with the plans of throwing them out till I get my money’s worth out of them. If you buy a $ 1 sign and you want to take it the distance of going past a year, that’s on you. Your house will look as good as the money you spend on it. While they do sell cheaper items, they also have better stuff.

yeah well not the greatest shopping experience, but I have to say they do have some good deals.
I saw the meringue cookies I pay $ 4.99 for at Shop Rite for $ 2.99 That’s a huge difference when you’re on a diet and pay enormous amounts of money for cookies that are 90% air. But they are sweet and they are good. :)
I understand Stephen D.‘s complaint below but I do keep things for more than a year. I get my party décor there and use it over and over. Yes maybe I have one too many luaus in my life ??
Go during the week at lunch if you can or early in the morning to beat the crowds. Oh and they do not take AMEX

It’s usually packed with people because there’s a very strong possibility that every individual who walks into this store, will walk out feeling as if they’ve gotten a great bargain. Like any discount store, there’s trashy, rickety crap around, but if you have the patience to browse you’ll find some small treasures worth purchasing. I got some necessary, quality & cheap kitchen items and a great little framed quote right up my alley, plus a twelve dollar bathroom rug that’s just as good as a thirty dollar rug from the big beyond store next door.
Do yourself a favor, and try not to go on a Saturday. And make sure you look at a map if you don’t know where it’s located. The stores and streets around here are weird and windy, a wrong turn will send you back where you came from.

Let me preface this review by saying I had never been to a «Christmas Tree Shops» before. I am not sure what I was expecting… maybe some sort of quaint shop with quality products? Yeah, because this place was basically a dollar store but on a large scale! it was swarming with people who seemed to run into me at every turn! I felt like i was in some sort of video game where I had to maneuver obstacles!
The products are, well, dollar store like products, with a holiday theme. I managed to find a couple of the things I was looking for, but couldn’t help but think of all the junk all over the store imported from China.
This is a great place to find inexpensive «throw away» type decorations, but if you are looking for something nice that will last for years, try somewhere else.

1 star for moral reasons.
Not like my review will change anyone’s mind or affect the 10,000 people trying to squeeze into this place on Saturday afternoons whilst bringing along their 17 children.
It is a store where people go every seasons to buy the same crap they purchased every seasons last year.
«yes i definitely need that grill spatula, blow-​up hula girl, those fake bamboo tiki torches, and pink citronella candles this summer.»
«didn’t you buy those last year?»
«YES! but they were outside yucky… and why wouldn’t I just buy new ones, it’s so cheap! I’m such a smart shopper»
Everything is cheap, because everything is crap.
Hate it here.
To be honest, I have also purchased a few things for key events here because i could not find them anywhere else. So, I blame myself for the success of this place.

No stars for this nightmare, not a one. but you have to select a star to get a posting. sad…I hate doing it.
The place is so filthy… why would you buy food at this place where rodents must be plentiful? The ornaments and decorating items are the worst quality, used looking and downright cheesy.
Sorry, if you want your house to look like a dollar store then shop there. not me, I left empty handed.
Buy quality, it will last you and you won’t have to rebuy the next year.
Say no to filling your home with junk.

Although it can be a logisitcal bightmare to get to, they do have some really cool cheap stuff. Found some great movie postesr and cheap good quality dinerware here.
This is a good place to go to every once in a while

Why so many negatives about this place? Its an amazing place to get steals. It isn’t the most organized place but its clean. Now you get what you pay for in most cases. Pans here are dirt cheap and won’t last that long. But seasonal items are to die for here. I also create great Christmas gift baskets for family from here. I also found serving plates that matched ones I bought someplace else, made me super excited.
Also great so seasonal table linens.
Wow I’m such a nerd :)
