Bottom Line: A huge variety of Christmas ornaments arranged by theme but very few local or unique ornaments. My husband and I enjoyed browsing the two storied Christmas Mouse. There is a ton of inventory and the ornaments are arranged by theme, as shown in some of my pictures. The ornaments are largely the mass produced type that are made in China but I did see a small selection of ornaments which I think are (somewhat) locally made. This store is a great place to shop for ornaments for my "fun" Christmas tree that I string colored lights on and display in my basement rec room. But as far as my "classy" tree with white lights and silver and gold ornaments, I didn't see anything that suited that tree. In addition to ornaments, they have Christmas cards, nutcrackers and other seasonal decor. I left with an avocado ornament that is a great homage to my time in SoCal and perfect for my "fun" tree. The Christmas Mouse is a fun place to browse and to stay cool on a hot summer day. read more

See all

It's a great place to just browse through. They have so many good choices that you are bound to find something that you didn't know you needed. read more

Cute store for all your Christmas wants. It was a tad pricey but it's in a tourist destination so that's expected.

Cute Christmas store. Two floors and tons of ornaments. I would have liked to have seen a larger selection Christmas decorations other than ornaments. I like the Christmas Store in Mateo a little better. They had more ornaments and decorations that are my style. read more

Lots of dead insects and overpriced junky Chinese ornaments. At least the insects are not alive, I suppose. No restrooms so don't plan on staying long. read more

Standard beach side Christmas shop. Great assortment of ornaments and towels and cards and toys and more. Prices vary from good bargains to more than expected for different items. Staff is friendly and polite. Most areas of the store have ample enough enough space for wheelchair users, but no access at all to the second floor of the shop. read more

Whats not to love about this place? Every room, every nook and cranny and corner from top to bottom is decked out with ornaments and decor. Something like 58 trees I think the girl said- all decorated with a different theme. I found myself constantly smiling and "oohing and ahhing" and pointing as we walked throughout the place. Such unique ornaments and really something for everyone and every hobby and interest. I just loved it! Ended up with 7 new ornaments for the tree this year. Might make it back to OBX before Christmas 2015 and if so this will definitely be a place I will stop in again. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! We were visiting Kill Devil Hills for the weekend and collect Christmas ornaments from our travels. We heard this was the place to go and the rumors were true! Two large floors of adorable decor and ornaments! The best part really was the staff though. Marissa helped us and was so friendly and welcoming! She made sure we found exactly in the store and even checked the computer stock for us. Then she beautifully personalized our ornaments while we waited. I can't say enough positive things about her. Definitely stop here! read more

This is our go to place every time we vacation in OBX. We love spending time browsing the many rooms looking for different ornaments for our tree. I was a little disappointed last year that they didn't have much in the way of "I Love Lucy" who besides my wife, is my favorite redhead. I have never left the store without buying 4 or 5 items. They also have a website that I look on occassionally. read more

Wonderful selection. Bought a wizard nutcracker. Staff super friendly and helpful. Two floors of Christmas items. Some Halloween items as well. The nutcracker room is tucked back behind a decorated tree and mirror wall on second floor so be careful or you may miss it. read more

A really fun place to go. Many ornaments on two floors. I found some ornaments on trees that were not on their displays which I purchased. I can spend hours in these type of Christmas stores. They also had Halloween decorations and ornaments. A must see. read more

So many decorations with two floors to check out. Only disappointment was they didn't carry the Christmas in the City by Dept 56. We did walk out with some goodies, as well as a gift. read more

If you're a Christmas freak, this is your temple. All kinds of different ornaments, different themed rooms including Thanksgiving, Halloween and St Patricks Day. The local ornaments aren't really anything more than a beach themed ornament with Nags Head written on it. Nothing local painted on an ornament which is what I was hoping for but still a nice store. read more

If you like Christmas and love to fill your tree with keepsakes, this is the place for you! A VERY wide range of ornaments for anyone. Buy something special to remember your vacation or something great to add to your collection! They have a wide variety of Old World ornaments (which is what I collect) - but no Radko which is a little disappointing. All-in-all - a great store. read more

This shop is marvelous. Obviously you expect to find Christmas merchandise here, but they sell so much more than just Christmas decor and ornaments. You will find costal-themed wall art, as well as the canvases with little lights built into them (at reasonable prices, too). They have a room upstairs that has charming everyday decor. They carry jewelry, and some stuffed toys, too. You just never know what you'll find in this shop, and it's never just ornaments. The experience I had here today that causes me to love this store the most is as follows: Last summer my family and I visited Christmas Mouse as we do every vacation. I saw these amazing horse heads and fell in love with both (they came in black or white finishes). Since we were having a house built, I decided I wouldn't purchase them and decided to go back this year and hoped they'd still be there. I walked in and asked the woman at the counter about them. She instantly knew what I was talking about, and she sent me with another employee to find them (upstairs). I was delighted, and they carefully wrapped the heads up for me and kept them at the counter while I shopped for at least another half hour or more. While shopping, my niece found an ornament she loved that was scratched (it was the last of its kind). The shopkeeper offered kindly to discount it, which surprised me. And we had numerous kids with us, and they were never scolded for touching things, or treated poorly just because they were kids. The people at Christmas Mouse are wonderful! Highly recommend this shop when you're visiting the outer banks! read more

If you like shopping for Christmas stuff (ornaments, stockings, etc.) all year, then this is the place for you. It is comfortably similar to all of the other Christmas Mouses (Mice?) I have been to, and I can always find something cute that i like. read more

It's exactly what you'd expect: lots and lots of Christmas decor. The staff is very friendly and helped me find exactly what I was looking for (not an easy task in a store like this). read more

Honestly the best time! I didn't know what it was going to be like when my mom took me There but as soon as I walked in it felt like home! The staff was so friendly and it was just such a good time! I can't recommend it enough. read more
