All That Bloomz: Annual Christmas Open House - Deep Discounts Friday & Saturday

Continuing a tradition which began seven years ago when the owners of All That Bloomz opened shop in Grayson, customers will find deep discounts and a heart full of holiday spirit during the annual Christmas Open House, today and Saturday (November 6 & 7, 2020).

Family owned and operated by Rita Thomas, Tammy Kelley and Erica Miller All That Bloomz anticipates “a couple of hundred” guests after the doors open at 9 a.m. today and again tomorrow. With a shop full of Christmas trees, ornaments, wreaths and snowmen – All That Bloomz is ready.

2020 trends in Christmas decorations seem to be favoring “a lot of black and white – checkered patterns and black and white plaid,” one of the owners reported this week.

“The whole store is 25 percent off – everything except fresh flowers,” she said, adding customers are always excited to get a discount on one particular brand.

“Candleberry Candles, because they’re not on sale very often. People love the Candleberry Candles,” she said, later hinting their customers’ favorite candle scents include “Hot Maple Toddy and several of the Candleberry Christmas scents.”

Fresh flowers are the only thing not included in the storewide 25-percent discount during the annual ***All That Bloomz*** Christmas Open House. Shop owners confide much of their recent fresh flower business is being driven by an increasing number of local weddings.

“**Candleberry Candles**, because they’re not on sale very often. People love the ***Candleberry Candles***,” she said, later hinting their customers’ favorite candle scents include “*Hot Maple Toddy* and several of the *Candleberry Christmas* scents.”
