Though it may seem like holiday decorations appear earlier and earlier each year, it’s by no means too late to spruce up your space with some festive trimmings.
Why not support local businesses while you’re at it? Check out our list of just a few of the best places to find holiday decor.
The Corman Marketplace
881 Floyd Drive #100
(859) 254-1880
The Corman Marketplace touts itself as “Kentucky’s Year Round Christmas Store,” and stepping through their doors will bring you face-to-face with an impressive example of just that. Their holiday offerings are vast, from a huge selection of Christmas trees and ornaments to wreaths and tote bags. The beloved Christmas shop has been around for more than half a century, bringing Lexingtonians and those from the surrounding areas Christmastime joy any time of the year, but especially during the holiday season. They can even create a custom seasonal decor plan for homes and businesses, helping you step up your yuletide game with the know-how of experienced designers. Even if you’re not necessarily in the market for more Christmas decorations, it’s worth giving their showroom a visit just to experience the unique and festive atmosphere.
My Favorite Things
2721 Old Rosebud Road
(859) 264-0923
My Favorite Things is already a sight to behold for those passionate about furniture and home decor, but add in the holiday season, and you’ve got the makings of a winter wonderland. Of course, whether you’re shopping for those on your gift list or for yourself, you’ll find more than just home goods; you’ll also find clothing, accessories, books, luxurious soaps, and more. In short: there’s something for everyone, although lovers of interior design and all things Kentucky-themed will especially find themselves on cloud nine while visiting this local staple.
Hillenmeyer Christmas Shop
3389 Tates Creek Road
(859) 266-6889
This family-owned destination for holiday goods places value on the importance of creating fun holiday experiences and memories with our loved ones, inviting visitors to check out their cozy, one-of-a-kind shop not far from Tates Creek’s Lansdowne Shoppes. If you’re looking for a genuine, natural Christmas tree, you’ll find plenty of those– as well as fuzzy friends hanging around the shop’s nativity scene in the barn. Besides the plethora of real Christmas greenery and the retro ambiance, Hillenmeyer Christmas Shop is a great place to take a breather and remember all the best parts of the holiday season, as they seek to create a calm and cheerful environment in contrast with some of the stress that often comes with holiday shopping.
Lucia’s World Emporium
328 North Ashland Avenue
(859) 523-1529
Being a mindful consumer is something that can be easy to overlook during the holiday season, especially when you’ve got a long list of gift recipients with no idea what to get them. Lucia’s World Emporium has a diverse collection of Fair Trade certified wares from all around the world, however. Scarves and arm warmers make for especially practical gifts, for instance– but you’ll also find your fair share of lovely decorations for both your tree and your home. There are handmade ornaments galore, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find another shop in Lexington that sells Kentucky-blue Santa and flying pig ornaments alongside Jimi Hendrix and Willie Nelson ones.
Flowers by Angie
828 Lane Allen Road #105
(859) 278-4946
This Lexington floral shop offers custom holiday specials for Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa alongside a regular selection of winter arrangements. Of course, Flowers by Angie offers beautiful, fresh flower arrangements for more than just the December holidays; year-round, you can count on the shop to have something special in store, including for sympathy or a special someone.
