What is involved in turning over our store from Fall/Halloween to Christmas Holiday gifts and candy? It would be so helpful if there were Elves who came at nighttime and with a dash of magic dust and a little scurrying around, we would find the store completely set up when we opened the doors the next day.
However, WE are the Elves and it takes a whole lot more than magic dust to get that work done.
Every year we shake our heads and wonder how everything is going to fit in the space we have. We put things up, then we move them around several times, we dust and clean, we use every little tiny bit of space available and then sometime in December we find a candy or gift item on a shelf that we have completely forgotten to put out for sale!!
It ain't easy being US and yet it is so much fun to see how beautiful or how humorous or how exciting our gift and candy items are at this time of the year.
Remember, Duck In A Hat, which I wrote about at Easter....my favorite Easter item which we have had in our store for 23 Easters?
Well, my favorite Christmas Candy Item is relatively new, but fun, yummy and just perfect for the Christmas season. It is Hammond's Chocolate Filled Peppermint Candy Cane. We predict that this Hammond candy will not last until Christmas. Once our customers discover it, they can't get enough of that wonderful treat.
Second to the Candy Cane is anything which Sweet Shop puts out for Christmas. This year Sweet Shop has been even more creative and I predict that our customers will be very excited about the decorated pretzels and the absolutely melt-in-your-mouth chocolate covered and decorated Oreos.
So here goes.
We have a number of events coming up in the store: Holiday Party, Trollbeads Party, Obsidian Jewelry Party and this year, for the first time, Santa Bob will visit our store on Sunday afternoon, November 22.
We would just be thrilled if you visited Sweet Tooth over and over during this season. Call us for times and dates.
