S’more to Stuff!
Hello, all my Christmas loving friends! It’s Good Friday, and I know what you’re thinking…. You forgot to make an Easter basket for someone! Don’t worry, we have s’more to stuff in that Easter basket.
Don’t be a Basket Case
Try not to stress too much, y’all. First of all, think outside the eggs. Lots of people focus on the bunnies and the chicks and the peeps and the eggs for gifts at Easter, and we do carry that. However, that’s not what Easter is about anyway. Like the mug says…
Inspiring Inspirational Gifts
So maybe consider something that will help grow their spiritual faith. After all, spring is about growth, too.
Of course, we have a lot of growing to do, still.
If you are more mature in your faith, you might like these gifts even better.
Think of the children!
We have s’more to stuff baskets for kids, and trust me, not all kids like bunnies and eggs.
This is my buddy, Rexter. I love dinosaurs, and green is my favorite color. If I were a kid, I would totally dig an Easter basket inspired by green dinosaurs. You could, even, still use Easter eggs, but call them dinosaur eggs, and that would be AWESOME!
In fact, kids like lots of things that would be the great inspiration for a themed Easter basket:
- Mermaids
- Trucks
- Unicorns
- Pets
- Cowboys
And, we carry all sorts of stuff like that.

Mrs. C.
That’s right! Our sales aren’t very deep or lasting very long lately. So, get in soon.
And, have a very Happy Easter!
Most importantly, we hope your Easter festivities are s’more happy, s’more joyful, s’more meaningful, and all around good in every way. Even though it seems like Christmas is our very favorite holiday at The Christmas Shoppe, we elves feel that there would be no point in celebrating Christmas if there weren’t an Easter Sunday.
S’more Updates!
Here’s what’s been happening in store that you may have missed.
It happened today. Random child out front: 
A Christmas Shoppe!!!
Mom making a quick grab: Not today.
Awww… maybe next time, kiddo. All the children know the best toys are made by Santa. 
Little known fact about breakables: we put them up high as much as possible and more ornaments are broken by adults than children.
Do you have a little cowboy at home?
Well, we can assure you that he definitely wants his own official sheriff badge in his Easter basket this year.
And, you can find one at The Christmas Shoppe! 
The posts are hitting late because we (mostly Sheri the elf) have been checking in a WHOLE pallet worth of Old World Christmas ornaments!
You can find some of them in our online store here:
https://shop.thechristmasshoppetx.com/…/old-world…/
But, lots more are in our real life store.
If we are all covered in glitter for the next week, this is why. Don’t judge. Most of us really like the glitter. 
Well, who is this?
Glad you asked! This is Ms. Sharie. Per her bio she is a wife, mother, grandmother, happily retired teacher, and crafter.
This sweet lady came to visit us over a year ago to introduce her candle line – Bergheim Candle Co. Not every locally made item is a good fit for our store, but her Texas shaped scented wax melts are just perfect!
Picture the great state of Texas melting in your wax melter like a DQ soft serve 
in August.
They come in a variety of awesome scents like:
Honey-Do List (smells like fresh mown grass)- Leather Britches
- Mountain Laurel
- Santa’s Cinnamon (our favorite)
Come by to sniff through them yourself, next time you are in town.
Thank you to the owner who parked their red ‘57 Chevy Bel-air in front of our store.
This is my favorite car! 
(No offense to all the corvette owners)
It’s been a great day for another beautiful Corvette Show. See you again next year!
Yup! We have found the BEST game to play at Boerne Plaza.
Come in and ask us about how to play, or keep an eye out at different Boerne parks because we’ll be out enjoying the spring weather and playing.
We may even start some tournaments!
This little light o’ mine!
Hide it under a bushel? NO!!!
We’re starting our moves! And, it’s already a breath of fresh air.
Be sure to give Sadie and Yulie some elf praise when you see them because this was a lot of hard work.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall We have all the seasons!
Check out our new Old World ornaments, and yes, that’s a Cheshire Cat.
The Christmas Shoppe: Where it’s Halloween every day!
Seriously, though. We celebrate everything! So, since new Halloween is starting to arrive and Fiesta went to the front window…. It’s Halloween in the back corner! Yay!
Liz the Elf put this fabulous display together single handedly (as well as our new Fiesta area which I will post another day). So, be sure to tell her how awesome she did when you come see us next.
We got lots of great feedback on our snacks and beverages at last night’s Spring Diva Night. Soooo, here are all the links to the recipes we used.
Our non-alcolic punch was on display, and for the adults who asked, we had Elana Moscato and Apple to make it a little extra Diva. The only other way we tweaked the recipe was to add some sparkling edible pink glitter.

These cookie bars were super easy to make! Just sugar cookie dough and peeps. https://www.smartschoolhouse.com/…/peeps-sugar-cookie…
The Jalapeño Popper Dip was the biggest hit and a repeat from a few years ago. 
https://thechristmasshoppetx.com/jalapeno-popper-dip/P.S. Check out our new cocktail napkins. They are the
It’s a Texas Thang, Y’all.
We’re in a love-hate relationship with armadillos, but we know you’re in love with our new signs. Best part: they’re made in Texas.
And, guess who has Monopoly back in stock!
We do! Texas Hill Country Edition, that is.

This just in: IT’S THE WEEKEND!
Nap time.
We have the perfect thing to help you relax – these slippers!
We are in love with these new, handcrafted, rust nativity scenes.
Last year, we sold out early. So, we ordered a plethora this year and added extra pieces to purchase separately.
Even though we have extras, you should definitely get yours quickly, just in case they sell even faster this year.
It’s Holy Week!
Remember: baptism is symbolic of your sins being washed off by Christ, but it will actually wash off pollen.
Win! Win!
These cute little bunnies are just the thing to add to Easter decorations.
Was your Fiesta a Fiasco?
Sometimes my life is more than a hot mess… it’s a spicy disaster. If you are like me, you need Jesus and then you need this shirt.
‘Nough said.
Why, that’s what we’re all about, Charlie Brown. Someone you know *needs* this as a gift for birthday, Easter, housewarming, or whatever!
#celebratealways (I Thessalonians 5:16) where it’s #christmaseveryday !
We’re prepping for Easter dinner with the help of Pinterest!
So, what’s on your menu?
Check out our favorite Easter foods on our Pinterest page here: https://pin.it/7uFNG3l
On that note, I am signing off. I hope you have the best of Easter celebrations and that your Easter celebrations inspire you to “Celebrate Always” (I Thessalonians 5:16)!
LOVE FROM,
S’MORE
We are, also, happy to give you a free Old World Christmas box to hold 6-12 of your ornaments. Normally, we give these handy boxes out to anyone who buys 4 or more Old World or glass ornaments. They are saved from our shipments. So, we have quite a few.
