Glennville merchants will be ringing in the holiday season with their Christmas Open Houses this Friday, November 6, with special sales, refreshments, and later hours for shopping.
Strickland’s Pharmacy is all aglow with several fully decorated theme trees, and you’ll be thrilled with the selection of adorable ornaments you’ll find. Polka dots and zebra designs are the “in” emphasis this season, and Strickland’s has fashionable polka dot frames and initialed Tervis tumblers in polka dots and zebra stripes. New scents have arrived for Tyler Candles (25 percent off) for the holidays, and you’ll love “Eggnog” and “A Christmas Tradition.” A new supply of John Deere toys have just arrived, too. Remember, too, that selected items will be 50 percent to 75 percent off. Other specials await you throughout the store, so visit the friendly folks at Strickland’s Pharmacy and enjoy refreshments and door prizes.
McCurdy’s on Main has been closed earlier this week to make preparations for their spectacular Christmas Open House, which will feature later hours this Friday - until 9 p.m. This exclusive gift shop has an amazing selection of unique decorating items for the home. These include elegant Christmas trees and decorations, wreaths, garland and arrangements, candles, lamps, and antiques. Their items make especially pleasing gifts, and you will want to make several selections from their array of decorative pillows, books and cookbooks, framed prints, and specialty foods. For gift giving and for your own home, see their selection of Lynn Haney Santas; Christmas collectibles, such as Christopher Radko and Byers’ Choice Carolers. Jewelry by Emily Ray, Waxing Poetic, and Maximal Art by John Wind make ideal gifts for Christmas and other occasions. Enjoy refreshments throughout the day, too.
Downtown Barnard Street is home to Central Pharmacy and The Catwalk at Merle Norman, and the staff are all excited about Friday‘s Open House. You’ll find ornaments, makeup, Christian t-shirts, and Mainstreet glass, all at 25 percent off. Webkinz, those soft cuddly little animals, are on special - buy two and get one free. Select from an array of animals - from giraffes to frogs - and adults collect these, too. Baby clothes, from newborn to toddler, are 25 percent off, and you can find the perfect baby gift at Central Pharmacy or that precious outfit for those upcoming holiday photos. Make sure you select an ornament from their “Cheer & Dance” Christmas tree, for gift giving and for keeping!
The Mascot is joining in the merriment, also, by hosting their Christmas Open House this Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visit their retail shop for a variety of gifts for all occasions, birthday, anniversary, appreciation, and holidays. Remember, too, that gift certificates are available. The Mascot is well known for its pecan candies, and their chocolate covered pecans are the yummiest gift for anyone who loves chocolate, and also remember their cinnamon glaze and roasted and salted pecans. Their pecan caramel clusters and pecan logs are two treats among others that are sure to satisfy those on your gift list.
