Best Christmas In July Sales (2024 Updated)

These lights are beautiful! They are long lasting, and easier on the eye than regular twinkle lights. I recently bought several more sets, as next Christmas we are going to decorate a small tree on our church’s parking lot.

Excited to see it lit up! The only downside is that the lights are pricey, but they’re unique, long lasting, and positively gorgeous! Highly recommend. Note: before you place your order, make sure you are purchasing Soft Twinkle Lights, not just twinkle lights.

I actually needed these for a Halloween prop where I needed some random spots of colored lights. This string works perfect for my need. They do take a couple of minutes to truly “randomize” but soon each light fades on and off randomly.

They have a nice fade, not a typical sharp twinkle on and off. It appears that each light works independently and not groups on the same fade pattern. The 5 mm lights give plenty of brightness.

I have been wanting randomly blinking lights for my Christmas tree for years! Finally found them here and decently priced. I love them. They make my tree look so pretty and its so magical. So glad I found these.

I have a 7 foot artificial tree that is pre-lit and added these to them. 4 of these strands worked perfectly. Could probably get away with three strands.

I love everything Jim Shore and have for years. from the minis to the extremely large. and the Angels, Santas, Birds, Disney. I have a lot. These Santas did not let me down. I ordered several of the Santas in this series, and even gave one to my Aunt from France who loved it.

The colors, details, and quality are gorgeous. I love displaying them together. I like the white in this as a variation on the colors in the others.

I love the Norwegian Santa I bought recently in the Santa’s around the world collection! Each of them are different and I love the way they are dressed differently for each country! The Norwegian Santa did not disappoint and has the same quality of all the others that I have purchased.

Well done! I love it!.

A beautiful Russian Santa! I bought one 23 years ago- when we adopted our 2 children from Russia- they always enjoy displaying it with our other Christmas collections. Now, as they move into their own homes, they will each take a Russian Santa!.

Gift giving Hallmark ornaments has been a 3 generation tradition in my family. My mom would select an ornament that had significance in our life that year. On Thanksgiving she gifted them to us. When we grew up and left home we each had our Hallmark treasures that told our life story fir our own home.

When we had kids we did the same and now they are having their own children. Viewing our Christmas trees are truly a walk down memory lane, the conversations recalling the memories each ornament holds have been fantastic! Watching “Christmas Vacation” has been another tradition.

In fact we occasionally refer to my husband as “Clark”. I purchased two of the “Clark” ornaments for our son’s so they remember their dad and the antics he’s performed as our own Clark Griswold.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday, it is a tradition! He always asks does it have a recording? In anticipation I wait patiently for him to place the battery and push the button to hear the recording, and there it is that smile and giggle! He held it up and made a video to share with our daughter and grandchildren.

They all replied with smiles and hearts. When our grands come at Christmas they head to the tree and push buttons to hear them all at the same time. We watch every year, precious memories!.

Sharing my favorite place to shop! Hallmark always has something new and exciting. This is my Sunday go to after church. I find the cards I need and gifts I don’t even know I need. We always purchase an ornament for my husband that’s why I picked up Christmas vacation and since then I also purchased a new one from Christmas Story which is his very favorite Christmas movie.

For my daughter and I it’s the Hallmark movies and we really enjoy all the new Hallmark movie items you carry. BTW, the Hallmark wines are terrific! In other words, I love Hallmark! and would (and do) recommend Hallmark to all!!.

Absolutely love the look. From a few feet away there is no way to tell it is artificial (other than all the branches are nearly perfect). I am about to purchase a new replacement. 2021 was our sixth season with this tree.

Absolutely no issues the first five years (cost of $50/year, is the way I view it). This year I did have one string of lights that did not light up after I stacked the bottom, middle, and top sections together.

I used a $20 tool to test the lights and found the bulbs that were out to get it working again. Unfortunately I used bulbs for a 50 light string and this was a 100 light string (within a few days my top was dark again).

So we just added a string of lights and it looked just like the rest of the tree again. However after about 20 days, on Jan 1, another 100 string stand in the middle went out. Considered buying a bunch of bulbs a refurbing the tree, but there are over 1000 lights, so we are just going to replace it and hope we can make the next one last 6 years (almost), as well.

There is definitely a life span to the lights and depending on how many hours a day the tree is lit, will effect the life. I would guess the first few years we only lit it for 7 hours in the evening and off during the day (except weekends it was probably on closer to 15 hours a day.

The last couple of years it has been lit closer to 15 hours of the day more than half the time, only off times we were not at home or asleep (Thanksgiving-ish until Jan 1). My plan is to get the correct bulbs and keep a closer look for bulbs that burn out and replace them with the correct wattage bulbs.

My understanding is any bulb burned out or damaged (that does not shut the whole string down), will significantly reduce the life of the bulbs in the rest of the string. While I had neve noticed before, this year when inspecting closely, we did find a few bulbs not lit up in other strings.

So, while it is not obvious some go out, it is important to find them and replace them with the correct replacements.

I have very mixed feelings about this tree. I’ll start with the positives. The tree is gorgeous. It’s very tall, the perfect width, and full. It truly looks like a real spruce tree covered in a dusting of light snow.

The lights are a warm white and not too sparse. It’s just a really beautiful, classy tree. I wish I could say I love this tree but there are some serious pitfalls. The first is that the “frost” is a white powder that comes off in plumes if you so much as sneeze in the direction of the tree.

I literally had to wear gloves, a mask, and safety goggles when I put it up. White powder and glitter was EVERYWHERE. It’s worrisome too because it’s such a fine powder, you almost can’t see it on surfaces or your carpet, but you can definitely feel it in your lungs and eyes.

I get so nervous when my kids go near it because if they accidentally bump it they get a dose of the powder, too. Yikes. The other slightly less annoying pitfall of this tree is that the directions were really poor.

It shouldn’t be complicated — it consists of a stand and 3 parts. However the plastic bag the stand came in showed how to put the stand together, which I did first, but then when I pulled out the paper directions they contradicted the bag directions and I had to start over.

Then, they totally fail to mention that the center tree poles have plastic caps on them that you have to remove before you can insert the poles. So I’m standing there getting showered with white powdery glitter trying to get the fairly heavy pole into the stand with the removable cap still on it.

Lol. Would’ve been so easy to add that to the directions and saved me a good deal of extra vacuuming. Basically, you’ll love this beautiful frosted tree if you don’t mind your living room and all your presents also being frosted.

I love looking at it but dread getting it out every year.

I missed the sale at Michael’s, and since I’m not in my forever home yet, the Balsam Hill Tree has not been ordered yet. This is my placeholder. I don’t know how I found BCP, but here I am. The box looked so much smaller, but that’s great for storage.

I was skeptical when taking it out of the box, but I remembered some of the reviews and I decided to wait and see what actually happened. To my surprise, things began looking better. Although it took me longer than 30 minutes to fluff (I was doing 5 things at once), but when it was up.

It’s very nice. Sturdy, and full. There are enough branches to make it look full. This is the most affordable tree I found that I didn’t have to go into a store and purchase. For that alone, I am grateful.

I added lights, this was always my plan. I knew 250 would not be enough for the light show I love. I needed to purchase more ornaments, but that was expected as well. Great price, a great deal. The seamless process when placing the order and receiving my tree surprised me for a company I had not done business with, in the past.

BCP, you are doing things in an Amazonian way. Kudo’s to you!!! The initial expectation was delivery on 12/14, it was at my door on 12/10. Very happy with this purchase.

On the positive side, the green is pretty and lush, it is very easy to assemble, and when you get it fluffed properly, it looks full. I suggest caution in sizing though. They are honest, but I ordered the 4’5″ tree assuming most of the 4’5 would be actual.

When I got it assembled it felt a lot less, so I got out a measuring tape. It is only 4’5″ if you measure from the very bottom (ground) of the tree stand to the fully extended one twig at the very top.

So they we4re honest. However, there is a good 10 inches of it that are only stand and center pole. I just put it on a good side table with a pretty tree skirt, and I’m happy with it. I do recommend it, but keep in mind that while in the picture that looks like the tree bottom branch touched the ground, that is not how it the small worked when it was assembled, so you may want to buy a little taller tree.

I’ll be honest, when I first took this tree out of the box I was disappointed because it looked rough and not as “real” as I had thought it would. However, once I got it set up and started fluffing out the branches (which took me the full 1.

5 hours the booklet suggests you set aside for it) it really filled out and looks amazing! I still need to fluff a little more where the top piece connects in but this tree is most definitely worth yr purchase, especially at this price point.

I couldn’t find any other 9 foot trees even close to this price range, plus I caught it on additional sale so only paid $139 for it! We don’t even have our decorations on and it looks lovely in our living room.

Of you’ve been debating on whether or not to purchase this one, I’d say go for it!.

I purchased this tree to replace an old 7ft tree w/o lights that we had been using for years. I am absolutely amazed at how gorgeous this tree is and how lifelike. It is the perfect size at 9ft and a slimmer footprint/width for our room.

It has more than enough limbs to fill in the tree and look full with the right amount being frosted. I personally love the addition of the berries and pine cones. I do wish there were more berries on the tree but I have berry stems so plan to add some from my collection.

Putting up the tree was honestly so simple. My husband was thrilled because it’s in three parts with the stand attached. It saved so much time! I just love this tree!.

I’ve had a beautiful tree for the last 10 years, but it was time for a new one. It was a hard act to follow and I was skeptical that I’d find one as beautiful for a good price. I was ecstatic to find this gorgeous tree from GDFStudio – most beautiful tree I’ve seen.

Another family member visiting on Christmas also said that it was the most beautiful tree she had seen too. I had been painstakingly hunting for a tree within my budget for 6 weeks, and found this one at a price roughly $100 less for the same tree at Home Depot, Overstock, Pier1 and several other online places that I searched.

I am recommending GDFStudio to everyone I know. Gorgeous tree at a very “do-able” price. All the other trees I found at this price were “fakey” to me. This one looks real and is breathtaking! GDFStudio is a class-act!.

Very handsome tree! Looks great and works great. I rated this 3 stars because the packaging was pretty bad. Box was torn, instructions with pieces gouged out, and the tree was very misshapen. The top section was so tight to the size of the middle I had to file the corners down to get it to fit.

“Snow” sheds off the tree with every touch. But once it was up, there’s no denying that it’s an impressive tree.

I don’t usually go out of my way to write reviews, but I am just so incredibly disappointed with this purchase. I grew up with two ceramic Christmas trees like this as part of the holiday decor in my childhood home, and they are very nostalgic to me! For a few years I have been poking around and trying to find one that best resembles the ones I had growing up, and I was so excited to finally decide on this one.

On the outside, the tree is very charming! However, it barely illuminates. These ceramic trees are supposed to light up bright so that the color shines through the ornament pieces – that’s what makes these creations so beautiful and nostalgic.

It’s the whole point of Christmas trees in general [gestures broadly] Almost every time I walk by this thing I find myself checking to see if it’s actually turned on – and it is, it is just so faintly illuminated you literally cannot tell on from off.

I have taken it apart several times to see if there is an issue with the lighting device and. wow, it is just so pathetic. There isn’t even a bulb or anything, just a few tiny peepholes of light at the base that are barely detectable.

And it takes 3 C batteries that don’t even come with the item! I even separately bought some LED votive lights and tried shoving them inside just to give more light, but I can’t keep them inside the base without them flipping over.

I’m sorry to complain so much, I’m just so disappointed with this purchase that I was very excited for. It looks fine on my table, but it is not what I was promised. Honestly, how difficult would it be to add a single LED bulb inside? Very poor execution of a holiday favorite 🙁 I wish I had kept looking.

I ordered the green with multi colored lights. Lights not bright. Some purple lights are out. No way to change bulbs. Costs me $99. QVC not responsible for the quality so I have also emailed mr Christmas customer service.

QVC buyer’s… please make them check all trees before sent to you. All they had to do was plug in the tree that I have to see that it should not have been sold. I hope it lasts until Christmas. Should be able to replace bulbs and yes I would pay extra for that.

And based on the other reviews it looks like some people actually received trees with all lights working and bright! I hate sending anything back – I never do, it is too much trouble. Well except I sent back an Amazon purchased item… just dropped it at the UPS store 5 minutes from my house so easy.

I usually just donate the item to the Veterans store. Just disappointed. Can’t really recommend because the tree you get may be like mine.

If you buy this know that you are paying $150 for a decoration with no lighting. The light in mine quit working after 2 days. There is no opening to get to the light to change it—-you have to take it apart by melting glue and then gluing parts back together.

I wish this was battery powered even if you had to change batteries ever few days. At least then you could have lights. It is hilarious that one reviewer said you wouldn’t need to change the bulb because it’s LED and would burn forever unless you used the light 24/7.

I guess this means some of them work more than a few days I hit the drop down menu for who would this be a good gift for and can’t remove it. No one was not one of the choices.

I won’t repeat other comments about the pieces being top heavy. We live within a mile of the San Andreas fault in Palm Desert. Further, having lost my 5,000 sq ft home in the Loma Prieta EQ of ’89, I take precautions.

I’m an art collector and everything is anchored. Artful Home recommends the use of Museum Pudday which I use in abundance. The set’s picture shows the trees mounted on what appears to be a 3 stairs mount which I recommend as well as the fake snow.

Ours will be placed on our beautiful dining room table (above dog-tail height). You can expect the very (paper) thin outer bark to peel away to some degree. I use chemicals to bind the bark. I will add on to the set as new trees are (hopefully) created.

I love these trees. they are beautiful and I ordered 3 of them. The shipment came with a broken one and I have gotten a replacement. My only issue is the fact that these are top heavy and the bases are narrow and these just fall over very easily and break.

I had one sitting out and another object tapped it when being moved and the tree fell over and broke. I have ordered a replacement but only because I made my own bases to put these in so they don’t fall over and I won’t have to worry that they will get broken when the house is being cleaned.

Without added support on the base, extreme care will need to be taken to prevent breakage.

I started a collection of these trees 4 years ago. Each October I eagerly await the new designs and decide which ones can be added new. This year’s trees were as lovely as always. I especially like this purchase as it ‘ornaments’ are many colors – this new tree adds different interest to the rest which are mainly red, greens and blues, I have room for 3-4 more on the window where they are displayed – so I’ll be back looking in October, 2021!.

Easy to assemble good condition perfect for a flat type house did not find it bars shaky ,My kids love it . I can use it for like 20 years the leaves are right in colour

What a beautiful. Heist as tree this is I was so surprised very full and real looking, this year everyone has remarked on my tree it looks wonderful. Please buy if you need a new tree for next year, you will not be sorry.

From a happy customer.

Have only put it together to see if size ok and to see the quality. very pleased with it. And without even bushing it all out im very happy with what I can see so far. Looking forward to putting this up for Xmas.

Thankyou.

I always buy lots of candles and recieve them as gifts. The Yankee Candles I have purchased have been from a retailer. The candles I ordered, 11 in all, are so weak in fragrance! There are several favorites and I am extremely familiar with the fragrance quality.

I even have other’s here that I not finished burning. The new one’s are no where near as highly scented as the older one’s! Two of my favorites smell basically like wax. My home is always filled with the lovely scent of burning candles.

I can even have one that isn’t even burning, but the lid will be off and you can still smell the strong aroma when you come near the candle. That is not the case with the candles in my recent order! I have Walmart candles that are much more powerful in fragrance than these.

I have read numerous reviews where customer’s are saying the same. Fragrance is not there as it has been before. I’m not the only one to notice this.

Dear Yankee Candle, I bought you in a 22 oz jar for my sister this past Christmas, in her favorite scent Christmas Cookie. My sister lives over a hundred miles away, and with the Pandemic, we have not been able to gather for holidays, birthdays or anything.

So, Thanksgiving and all other holidays had past with NO family together at all, no sharing a hug, no sense of family whatever. So, I bought you and had you delivered to her. She was so excited to get you, she placed you in a special place, and lit your wick.

Her & my little niece & her home was engulfed with your warmth & fragrance. She called me and told me how good you smelled, and how it was like getting a warm hug. So, to make a very long story short, YOU-YANKEE CANDLE went way above being just a candle, you were family, love and a warm hug from home.

Thank you so very much for going above & beyond, and being family & feelings to make my sister’s Christmas. I have ALWAYS heard that sounds & scents would trigger a special moment, now I know this for a fact.

Thank you Yankee Candle Helen.

it smells incredible but it’s really only satisfying when I’m laying down in bed with my nose just about two feet from my candle warmer lamp. I noticed a ton of comments saying this scent hardly has any scent at all and I can agree it is a very weak scent.

Not even subtle, just weak. Yankee says that they do specifically manufacture certain scents to be lighter because apparently some customers like that, I find that hard to believe spending nearly $30 per candle.

don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to return this candle and I love turning on my lamp and smelling of the wonderful aroma in the morning (right next to my nose while in bed), I absolutely love the scent itself.

I just think they need to make their candles stronger because instead of appeasing customers who say they are too strong, just let those customers shop elsewhere I feel like it’s way worse to annoy the people who want to buy strong smelling candles at this price point.

I would buy more if they were stronger. the people who think it is too strong can shop elsewhere or open up a window. at this point I would say this particular candle needs to be more like the old formula, I have noticed a ton of reviews on the website where people bought it 6 years ago and they loved it, but recently it’s been very light and I’m not the only one to notice.

nevertheless the scent itself is wonderful I just need it to be stronger, because it’s so frustrating when you spend money on a candle and it smells good but you just can’t get it to throw or stick. I want this scent I just want it stronger.

Stockings are beautiful and look just as pictured. However there is a lining which is nice but also has a downfall the lining is just a bit shorter than the stocking itself so losing space there, then also it makes it so the knit stocking doesn’t have stretch to it when filling.

I would still buy them again just keep in mind it won’t hold as much as some other stockings will.

This stocking is not only verrrry well made – but also very, very pretty and quaint looking. I chose the grey and white color and the colors are soft and beautiful together. I’m very happy and this is priced lower than a stocking of this quality would normally priced elsewhere especially since it comes monogram with the letter/initial of your choice.

They are well made, but I wish they didn’t have the liner inside so that they could stretch to fit stocking stuffers. Unfortunately, the description didn’t mention the liner, so I thought I was buying knit stockings that would stretch around things.

I give them a 4 for their quality, and no liner would have made it a 5.

I bought this tree topper for my “skinny” tree that I set up in my living room. I don’t have much room so the skinny tree is perfect! The beautiful Willow Tree Angel is perfect as it is light and airy for the “skinny” tree, but yet adds so much beauty with all my gorgeous Hallmark ornaments!! I love it’s beauty and versatility!!!.

This is my favorite Willow Tree piece of all time! It is even more gorgeous in person & is the perfect tree topper! I searched for a couple of years to find just the right one & finally saw this one in a movie, “The Spirit of Christmas” & recognized it as Willow Tree immediately.

It is everything I had been looking for; classy, elegant & I didn’t have to choose between an angel or a star because it’s both! I highly recommend this to everyone! It is my favorite part of our tree each year!.

My daughter had one of these and if fell off the top of her tree. She was upset and we could not find her another one. I searched your site and found one and plan to give it to her for her birthday. No other site had one in stock or wanted a lot more for it.

This will make her very happy and her tree will be complete! She has the entire nativity scene and is always showing it off. Now she has more to show off! Thanks.

Smells exactly like a Christmas cookie. These candles have uncomplicated, unobtrusive, pleasant aromas that last for the entire length of time you burn the candle… you can also smell the fragrance when the candle is not burning, it’s just a bit more understated.

Yankee candles make great gifts and they burn a long, long time. You pay a little more up-front, but you get quality. We did a side-by-slide comparison and tested a Yankee candle vs a cheaper drugstore look-alike and there was no comparison.

The lookalike had an inferior wick that made it burn unevenly created a “sinkhole” in the center of the candle, making it impossible to burn the entire knockoff candle properly. Unlike Yankee candles (fragranced throughout) the lookalike candle was only fragranced on top… so in its pre-burned state, it looked fine.

But once called upon to do its job, the lookalike candle fell flat. After the candle had burned down 1”, it was evident that the remainder of the knockoff candle was just scented on the surface. The rest was just cheap, unscented colored wax.

Side note: Cheap candles often contain paraffin other chemicals, which create toxic fumes that can be very harmful, especially when breathed on a daily basis. Yankee candles are made from safe, non-toxic materials.

Although the 2 candles were exactly the same size, the knockoff candle did not burn as bright as the Yankee candle and in fact, the knockoff’s wick made the cheap candle snuff itself out, while the Yankee candle was still going strong.

We used the entire Yankee candle ‘til all the wax was gone. It still burned bright and smelled fantastic.

This is such a festive and delicious scent. It’s so perfect for the holidays, and reminds you of baking during the holidays! I absolutely love this candle! This scent smells delicious, yet invigorating with the light, but prominent enough minty undertones.

Such a delicious smelling and festive candle.

So this was a gift for my step mother in law. It’s so super cute and well made. I just thought it was going to be bigger. Needless to say, I kept it. It’s that cute!

Item is very cute but I ordered it twice and both times it came damaged with some kind of rust or something all over the gnome and inside the packing as well. The first one was all on back bottom and one sleeve.

Second one was all on the front. So disappointing was really looking forward to this decoration. Not gonna take the chance to order it again.

If you want to add a little mirth to your traditional Christmas dcor, this little gnome is perfect. He adds just the sweetest touch of whimsy. Made from very nice materials and well balanced when placed on furniture or nestled in Christmas greenery.

Cutest ever!!!.

This gnome is adorable! Sooo well constructed, and his face is literally the best! Worth every penny.

It looks just like the picture. I purchased it for my granddaughter who is graduating from the University of South Carolina with a major in Restaurant and Tourism. She has spent this last semester in the catering division of the Athletic Department and has done everything from chopping onions, to waiting tables to actually baking! Her father has the same degree and also has a degree as a Pastry Chef.

His mother bakes wedding and special occasion cakes.

I received this ornament twice and both times it was broken upon delivery. It was very disappointing to see that the packing process for such delicate items is subpar. The other disappointment is not being able to gift a loved one a special ornament.

Bloomingdale’s has to do better in their shipping policies for future reference. Will not order these types of things in the future.

I ordered Sweetest Chef Around but received Floating through the Holidays. I don’t know why this happened as there was no explanation. As it turned out, the granddaughter I gave it to loved Floating.

Holidays. It is a very colorful and in typical Radko style, attention to every detail! I give a Radko to each grandchild at Thanksgiving for their Christmas tree. Thanks.

I have been buying ornaments from NM for 25 years or so. you have always delivered great products with great service. the winning prescription for keeping customers. I did notice however, this year, no more NM metal ( silver like) tags came with the gift wrap.

just rather plain paper and a bow. somewhat disappointing. But overall. I’m still with you. Thanks.

The ornaments are beautiful. I love to give my each of my grandchildren a Radko ornament for Christmas each year. You made it easy and I will continue to purchase them from you every Christmas. Thank you for your promptness in sending my order and the attention to detail in packing it.

I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

I bought two sets and was mildly disappointed with both. The black and white set I ended up returning. The white just didn’t look right to me. Its not like the stock photo at all. I would wait to see it in person if you are looking to use the whole set.

The black ones were pretty. The silver and blue set is pretty. My problem with it was the light blue is actually more purple. I’d say its periwinkle at best, definetly not blue like the stock photo. I kept the set because I just wanted the navy ornaments and they are gorgeous.

They’re a nice deep navy, exactly what I was looking for. I buy wondershop plastic ornaments every year and love the quality. You’ll see the seams when you’re close but when they’re hanging up you can hardly tell they aren’t glass.

I love that I can store them in a rush without them breaking and the price allows me to change the theme up every year.
