The Jingle Bells Are Ringing!!

We can hear the Jingle Bells ringing.  It is that time of the year when the store is full of wonderful gifts and candies and the time goes by so fast we can hardly believe it when we close the door on December 24.

You might want to know what it takes to prepare for the Holiday season. In January, 2018 we began ordering Holiday items for the store.  At the January Gift Market we had the opportunity to see what companies were promising for the 4th quarter.  By June Gift Market, a great deal of those items were already committed.

We tell our customers that if the item or the candy is seasonal, it is best to buy it when you see it.  I have already had the experience of attempting to re-ordering some Holiday merchandise in August and found it was sold out.  This is definitely the case for food items.  No manufacturer wants to have left over holiday food items and no retailer wants that problem either.

This year we have a number of new things to offer.  For us, after 26 years, that is really a BIG DEAL.  Patience Brewster ornaments are back and we are the only Tulsa store carrying them.  Our new artisan hand-crafted silver and gold jewelry is also a wonderful new line for us and once again, we are the only store to have it.  EarthGrace is the name and beauty is the game!!  We are already ordering a second delivery for the 2nd week of December.

When new candy becomes available, we are over the moon with excitement.  Our Awesome Fudge, our Pumpkin shaped Truffles (already sold out), our cups filled with hot chocolate mix and marshmellows are just a few of the delightful new food items for our store.

Now what does it take to get all this going?  Keep marching and don't look back.  Realize that there will be little time for recreational activities, dinners out, family get togethers, etc.  However, we still love this work. 

Watch for the Exclusive Christmas Ornament created by the Tulsa Glassblowers Studio for Sweet Tooth. Only 25 will be available for sale, although we will carry many of the ornaments this very talented group is making as I am writing this piece.

Watch for our Open House, Photos with Santa, Christmas music with Gyan and Scott, 3 booksignings in December, Black Friday specials and so much more.
