This time of year we are busy, busy, busy with everything under the sun so regretfully we have not blogged in a while. This is the time of the year when our holiday and winter items are arriving at our warehouse and simultaneously we are planning for the cute short sets and tank dresses that we will be selling in our store next spring.  I seem to revisit this idea every 6 months or so but it really is mind boggling just how far in advance you have to plan when you are in retail. Just yesterday a friend was discussing how crazy it is that Christmas decorations are being displayed in retail stores…and it isn’t even Halloween! It’s true. When you are a retailer, your items needs to be on the floor as long as possible to maximize the sales and move the inventory. BUT….as a consumer, I hate it! It’s like a in you face reminder that I need to get planning (and shopping) for the holidays. Ouch. Add that do the to do list!

So with that we have added our children’s Christmas and Hanukkah gifts to our store so that our customers can have the time to plan and purchase. Many of our holiday items are personalized and must be ordered by mid-November in order to be received on time for holiday deliveries. So while it IS annoying to see Christmas trees, reindeer, and Santa…I get it as a retailer. That doesn’t mean I like it though.

Check out some of these cute items:
