Dripping Icicle Light

Here at Christmas Central, it’s always Christmas time.  We sell artificial trees, bright lights and ornaments all year round.  We’re just starting to get some of our stock in for the holidays, and there are some very cool new items this year I’d love to show you!

My favorite new light item that we have are these dripping falling LED icicle lights.   The bulbs screw into any standard C7 socket set, and have the look of dripping icicles.  We also have ones that burn steady and don’t have that dripping affect.  These are the perfect bulbs for designers looking to add the hottest new trend to their Christmas displays!

Another of my favorite new light products are color changing LED lights.  Not only are these lights brighter and more energy efficient, they change colors and are just fun to look at and decorate with.

You’re going to LOVE these shatterproof balls!  These specific balls are all pre-drilled and wired.  We have them in a huge variety of colors and sizes.  They’re perfect for crafters, commercial decorators, or anyone looking to add some larger flair to their decorating.  What makes them even better is that they’re UV treated, so no matter if you use them indoors or out, they won’t fade or lose their color.

Decorating for the holidays has never been this much fun before!

Richard Simmons Steamer

This past weekend while doing research for a school project on day spas, I found out some interesting information on anti-aging skincare products.  Despite the recession, sales for anti-aging skincare products are climbing each year, and are forecast to continue to grow.  Source: Mintel/based on Information Resources, Inc. InfoScan® Reviews™; U.S. Census Bureau, economic Census, annual and monthly retail trade surveys

My research got me to thinking about ways to stay healthy.  We’ve got some great products to help you achieve those healthy goals!  My personal favorite is this Richard Simmons Steamer.  I recently purchased one myself and it’s a fabulous item that we use often.   You can toss potatoes in one chamber, corn in the other and spinach in a third.  The steamer is easy to use and program, so that all foods are done steaming at the same time.  It’s an easy way to cut calories and prepare your meals the healthy way!

This rice cooker is another favorite of mine too; it takes the guesswork out of cooking perfectly textured rice!  We’ve also got these pressure cookers, which are essential in a health-conscious home, too.  The shorter cooking times help foods maintain their vitamins and nutrients.  Plus, I’m all about one-pot cooking!

The warm, white sand underneath your toes.  Flip flops.  Pineapples and coconuts.  Tropical flowers.  All of these things can only mean one thing; tropical party time!  Here at Christmas Central, we’ve got everything you need to create a perfect tropical paradise, or throw the best tropical party ever!

If you’re looking at creating a warm, relaxing tropical atmosphere in your home, accessories can make all the difference.  Candles, with their lush scents and warm glows, create the perfect laid-back mood.  Light airy tablecloths are reminiscent of warm breezes.  Silk florals add unique charm and ambiance to your own personal tropical paradise as well!

Once your home is all decked out, move the tropical theme outdoors too!  Palm trees, whether lit or unlit, create the perfect atmosphere!  When your party guests arrive, hand out colorful leis for them to wear.  Serve fresh fruits, such as pineapples, coconuts, mangos and papayas.  Mix up a pitcher or two of margaritas or daiquiris, throw some drinks on ice, or open a bottle of wine and let the festivities begin!

Fresh Picked Candles

It’s officially summer!  When I think of summertime, I think of bright, vibrant colors…warm breezes…fresh fruits and vegetables…flowers….  The list goes on and on!

Sitting near the garden is a favorite summer pastime for many.  These decorative garden patio benches not only look great, but provide a place for relaxation as well.  These garden statues accentuate flowering blooms perfectly.

There’s also nothing like sitting outside, listening to the gentle sound of wind-chimes as they sway along with a summer breeze.

Bringing that warm, breezy feeling inside is made easier with these light organza table cloths.  These wreaths are the perfect garden-like accent for your outdoor covered porch, front door, or any room in your home.

The “fresh picked” fruit scented candles bring the intoxicating smell of luscious summer fruit indoors.  We’ve also got these exotic candles with a tropical flair that really captivate that summer time feeling!

I absolutely love the look of flowers.  I have found over the years that for me, I don’t have the time or patience to grow my own.  I also have a black thumb and kill nearly every flower or plant I encounter.  For someone like me, artificial silks are the only way to go!

Individual silk flowers and sprays can add such an elegant touch to your home.  You can display them in vases, or in wall pockets or baskets.  We have a lot of potted silk flowers too, in every color to match every decor.

We’ve got tons of vibrant green artificial plants.  Ferns are very popular.  Ivy has a classic look which people seem to love as well.  One of my favorite artificial silks is the topiary trees.  We have so many different colors, shapes and varieties.  It’s hard to pick my favorite!  Come take a look and see if there isn’t something for your black thumb, too.

Kids rooms, be it their bedroom or play area, can be so much fun to decorate!  I know as a mom, I like to make my kids rooms as fun, bright, and comfortable as I possibly can.  That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about some of the playful items that we have to make your child’s room special!

My kids love to sit and color.  Make a small area for them to kick back and relax!  I love these bright colorful tables and Adirondack chairs.  We’ve also got color-coordinating stools!  These vivid storage boxes or caddy’s hold all sorts of craft supplies or toys, keeping them off of the floor!

I especially love these storage cabinets, which are just the right height for little ones!  The matching bookcases hold all those books that kids love to read, too!

For a super-unique touch, hang Christmas lights from the ceiling for a starry night time effect.  Not only do these look fabulous, but your kids will love how sparkly things look!  Take this one step further and hang sparkling stars from the ceiling!  Have fun and let your imagination run wild, to create the perfect room for your children!!
