The Christmas Tree Shops are a chain of bargain stores that are known throughout the Northeast, but which originated in Cape Cod. Although their name makes you think that these stores only sell Christmas accessories, the Christmas Tree Shops actually have a great selection of items that range from home decor, kitchenware, food, toys, and linens. And if you go to a Christmas Tree Shops near the beach there is a good chance that you will find a great assortment of discounted nautical home accessories that you could use in your beach home.
The Christmas Tree Shops have such a vast selection of discounted items that I always make a point to visit one of their stores when I am in Cape Cod. Last week when my family was visiting the Cape, I was lucky enough to stop by the Christmas Tree Shops in Orleans! Here are a few highlights from my trip...
