They seem to like minimal fresh wreaths, so we were mossed up by October and then they were all out on my lawn. Even the very large artificial ones sold out, they looked fantastic, the tacky ones with the pointsettias etc didn't sell very well, in the end we had a large 9ft tree in the window, and it was covered in posh flowers and baubles etc , bascially it was my stock room, everything was on the tree! customers were buying their decs from the tree, also I'm starting to spray twigs as that's what we ran out of Christmas week, as they look fantastic in bouquets. I'm afraid I'm like a bit kid at Christmas time, can't wait
