Christmas Central – The Blog

Positively precious!  We think you’ll agree that Christmas Central’s Genuine Monkeez and Friends are just that—positively precious.  And, with over three dozen charming choices of these endearing animals, it’s a challenge to decide which one is the cutest.

Stemming from the traditional sock monkey, this adorable collection has grown into a vibrantly colored menagerie.  Even the monkey has moved beyond his brown-and-cream-colored constraints and now comes in green, blue, orange and other fun shades.  Kids love them!

The delightful acrylic night light animals, each about 5” to 6” tall, are UL listed for indoor use and have handy on/off switches.  These, along with their plush counterparts, all have entertaining names.  Let Elroy Elephant, Teeny Turtle, or Jimbo Giraffe light up the night in your child’s room.

Christmas Central’s stuffed plush versions of these officially licensed Monkeez and Friends animals range in size from 10” tall to a huge 40”!  All feature magnetic hands and feet for easy posing, and most sport the characteristic sock stripe accents.  Not only do they make wonderful toys for children, these animals are appealing decorations for libraries and classrooms.  (What child could resist reading along with Carlton Cow??)  Doctors and dentists can prop one or more on an office counter to welcome young visitors.  (Add a toothbrush or bandage and Monkeez become comforting fellow patients.)  And—Grandma and Grandpa—why not let Monkeez and Friends become your trademark gift for the grandkids?  They’ll keep them for years!

It’s a busy world out there and because of this, today’s customers seek products requiring less care and ongoing maintenance. Products such as  long-lasting lighting, no-paint outdoor furniture, and even plants that don’t need water.  That’s right!  Just as more people have been making the switch to artificial Christmas trees, they are replacing living green and flowering plants in their homes and offices with artificial varieties of these plants.  This erases the time needed for watering and pruning, as well as the worry of planning care for the plants during extended vacations.

Christmas Central offers a wide assortment of artificial houseplants.  It’s easy to choose lifelike plants for tables, hearths, mantels, and open floor spaces in your home.  Ivy and philodendrons fit nicely on coffee tables, bookcases, and shelves.  Handy packs of 6 ivy plants, available in three sizes, allow you to quickly accessorize an entire home or office. And, anyone who’s tried to keep a fern looking healthy and green will appreciate the ease of owning one of Christmas Central’s traditional ferns.

For bare walls or open corners, potted artificial trees and bush-size plants provide quick and convenient decorations!  Palms, bamboo, and ficus trees fit the need for these bigger areas.  The 5’ dwarf Areca palm tree is 40” in diameter at its widest point.  That provides nice coverage for bare areas!

Don’t forget flowering choices when deciding which easy-care plant selections to buy!  We have some beautiful artificial flowering bushes, including potted orchids.   Packs of 8 red, pink, and white potted geraniums add sparks of color to sunrooms and porches, and are ideal for luncheon table accents (perfect size!), or low-maintenance gifts for hospital patients and shut-ins.

Why not get some artificial vegetation from Christmas Central and plant the idea of easy-care foliage in your home today?

Everyone loves the comforting scent that only a lighted candle makes. It lessens that cooped up feeling that accompanies bleak winter weather. Christmas Central makes candle-buying extremely easy. You can browse through our web store pages, choose from many styles and scents, order them online, and have them often delivered in less than a week.

Jar candles top our list of favorite styles. With melted wax contained, customers don’t have to worry about messy or dangerous drips. Check out Christmas Central oval jar candles with such scents as Island Pineapple, Simple Breeze, or Joyful Noel. There are many more scents available on the website; from food to floral and spice to nature-inspired, there are plenty your customers will love! The 22 oz. jar candles burn up to 95 hours, and the 8 oz. size lasts up to 55 hours

Flameless candles have become extremely popular. Although unscented, they add flickering light and the illusion of a burning candle. These present a safe option for homes with young children or pets, where open flames could create possible hazards. Many of these battery-operated candles are actually made of wax and look like real candles, just without the flame. Some even have built-in timers, so the candle lights daily! They work great for weddings, restaurants, and banquets, too!

Create a cozy atmosphere for your customers this winter with burning (or flameless!) candles from Christmas Central!
