I ordered a personalized ornament on eBay and this is the business that sent the ornament. Fast service, check,! I ordered the ornament that was going to be personalized with the year, first names, and last name. That same day I received a notice that the order had been shipped. What! Maybe the company didn't get my special instructions for the personalization. Wrong, I received the ornament two days later and it was PERFECT! High quality, light weight, appropriate size, clear personalization was exactly what I received. After getting the ornament I went to their website and identified a number of ornaments that are on my wishlist. If I were independently wealthy I have dreamt of all the ornaments I would order. I do plan to order at least one more ornament for this year. I have always collected an annual ornament from Hallmark but now I'm going to add an appropriate personalized ornament each year from A Christmas Shoppe.

For something to do on Easter Sunday besides twiddle our thumbs in quarantine, she gifted us some painting kits from here. It was such a great time!! I'm not an artist by any means, but I enjoy painting. I'm not too great at it on my own, but thankfully these kits were easy to use and came with all of the colors you need. Not to mention, there are so many different designs to choose from! I picked out a sunflower and my fiance got the American flag mason jar. It made us feel so productive, and now we have a couple cute things to hang on our door! Normally they do painting sessions, which I would love to check out someday. If you're in need of a place to find a cool gift, or just something fun to do on your own, Chelle Belle's is a great option.

So many ornaments and many of them are glass and specially made. They have different themed ornaments, nutcrackers, and figurines. And they are greatly priced for their value. So happy we came by and I can't wait to come back in the future to get more. Definitely stop on by.

Worth the trip and I could have spent hours there. Giant trees, named elves that come with adoption papers, and the friendliest staff. The entire place is dripping in holiday decor of every theme, color, and material - you will be inspired and leave smiling.

Santa's workshop is the name of the setup for the meet and greet with Santa clause in the Jefferson…read moremall in Lousiville Kentucky. Like a lot of mall Santa setups they go with the easily identifiable name of Santa workshop. And whole Jefferson mall may be considered the worst mall in Lousiville they have traditional have and continue to have the best Santa meet and greet experience. I've taken my kids here for the last decade plus and this is even where I went as a youngster to meet Santa. Not sure why or how but they always have the most authentic, nicest and legit feeling Santa clauses. They always have a nice extravagant setup in the middle or ends of the mall and they offer fair holiday picture prices along with cool decorative frames and things. However if you just want to meet Santa then you can do that for free with no strings attach. Long time and fun tradition for my family and many other local Lousiville families. One of my favorite memories is a few years ago they had a Santa who played the guitar and sand sing alongs with mj kids and my nephews and niece. We visited on a early December weekday after school and nobody else was there so the Santa took the time and created a life long memory for all the kids. Which is what the holiday season is all about.

My (almost) 16 & 11 yr old sons humor me every year. Our experience was great too. With no reservation, we only waited through 3-4 families and it was quick. You can book a time in advance; however, with Christmas almost here their last 2 days will be walk-up only. The young guys working the entrance and check out were helpful with questions and friendly. The photographer was too, encouraging me to get additional shots because I'd be able to download all the shots digitally. Only one package offered this year. Quite a few printed and all other digitally. I got a text within 30 minutes telling me the shots were ready. Love these memories!

I won't come back or recommend anyone in my circle to come back. It was just unkind and unexpected, especially for a florist.

Outside of the store is filled with cute little succulents, plants, & the cutest things to plant them in & on. We love the ladies who work at the store. They are always so nice & helpful. Mom saw wanted this cute tin watering can that was a fountain. She told one of the ladies behind the desk. The lady said it was their last one but she could have it. Within 10 minutes the fountain was boxed up & in the back of my car. I also found an incredible smelling candle which was apricot & chai. So that candle also came home with me. It was a little pricey but sometimes you get to treat yourself haha

Apparently there is a hidden pumpkin but we weren't told until near the end. It was interesting to see how they repurposed items from the Halloween event. We were disappointed they didn't have any merch to buy at the end. We had hoped to buy an ornament. Overall it is cute for a date night but definitely not as spectacular as the Halloween event.

The winter woods spectacular is a annual holiday lights event held in Iroquois park in Lousiville…read moreKentucky. You enter in at the new cut road and southern parkway entrance. When you hit the fork you take a left down the "one way". There is suppose to be a guy flagging or waving you on but on our visit he just sat there so we thought he was telling us to not go that way and we ended up taking a 3 mile detour through the park and and circling around. You can buy tickets at the main entrance booth once you go the right way or you can purchase online. The online pre purchase is recommended because evidently they can sell out. Pricing is pretty high. It is $35 a car load. I will say this. It's is very pretty and cool but extremely repetitive. You drive very slowly through a wooded trail for a mile or so. The woods is decorated with ginger bread house facades and other holiday type buildings. They have a lot of fake stained glass Christmas's decor of popular Christmas figures, movie/tv stars and cartoons. They have Christmas music playing in different sections throughout. At the very end they do have a cool Ferris wheel penguin decoration that leads you into a beautiful tunnel of lights you drive under. Which is the highlight of the visit. Overall I can say me and the kids finally experienced this. The workers here all kinda had a bad attitude and seemed lazy. Which I get it. It's cold and nobody likes working during the holidays. But if you are charging $35 a carload for Christmas fun then maybe act like you want to be there. As mentioned the decorations were very lovely and pretty. But we all was disappointed in how repetitive it was. They could of really broke it off in sections and each section having a different theme or decor style and it would be immensely better. I'm not sure we will come back unless major changes are made. I'm glad we finally did and seen this yearly attraction. However, if every year is exactly the same it just isn't worth seeing twice. There is all kinds of cool free light shows in Lousiville that offers more variety.
