My Thoughts

 

  As soon as the leaves start to change and I feel that crisp fall breeze, there is one thing I start itching to do. Decorate! I love the fall. I love the colors and the smells, and I like the inside of my home to have the fall spirit just as much as the outside does. One of the first items on my fall decorating list is always a wreath. And when I want to get a beautiful wreath for an affordable price, the first place I turn to is Creekside Farms.

 

 

 

 For my review, I was sent the lovely  "Autumn Beauty" Wreath. This wreath is made with a generous mixture of fall leaves, herbs and grains. These are REAL leaves, not plastic. Intertwined within the leaves are dried artichokes, pine-cones, and tansy. The bright colors really capture the fall season.  But what I love the most is the amazing aroma. It has the scent of dried flowers that fills the whole living room. This is the type of wreath that people will notice and admire when they visit your house.

Holiday Gift Guide - Christmas Forest Wreath Review & Giveaway

***Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review.***

Welcome to Christmas Forest. Since 1976, when we sold our first Christmas wreath at Pike Place Farmer’s Market in Seattle, we have focused on pleasing our customers with gorgeous forest fresh Christmas wreaths, and now we are proud to have loyal customers worldwide. Our wreath makers join with nature to create exquisite noble fir Christmas wreaths out of the finest evergreens of the Cascade Mountains, while protecting Mother Nature. With our friendly office elves, we have become well known for our outstanding customer service as well as for our handcrafted outdoor Christmas wreaths. Thrill everyone on your gift list with the most beautiful Christmas wreaths in the world. 

We have a strong commitment to sustaining and protecting the environment.

Those of us that are concerned about the environment want to make sure that we are buying and producing “green” products.
Consumers are conscientiously doing their best to purchase products that use renewable resources.

When it comes to deciding between a fresh Christmas wreath or an artificial wreath, most people are choosing real evergreen wreaths.
You probably know that artificial wreaths are made from plastics and other petroleum based products, and you also know that petroleum is not a renewable resource.
The artificial wreaths most likely will end up in a landfill and they are not biodegradable.
In addition, most artificial wreaths are made overseas and so even more petroleum is used to ship the artificial wreaths.

There are many more “green” reasons to buy a fresh evergreen wreath.
They can be recycled by removing the fir from the wreath rings for a potpourri.
There are also many free recycling programs where the greens will be chipped and used for mulch, another plus for the environment.

Our fresh wreaths are a renewable resource.
We do not cut down any trees to make our Christmas wreaths.
In the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, we harvest the tips of the branches, and this actually promotes the growth of the trees.
Trimming the branches of the noble fir trees is actually beneficial to the trees and thus great for the environment.

The aromatic noble fir trees from Washington state are the longest lasting evergreens.
These majestic trees are nature’s way of fighting against global warming.
Trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen.
The process of producing plastic, artificial wreaths burns fossil fuels while adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Knowing that fresh Christmas wreaths are recyclable, renewable and less of a contributor to global warming, those who are concerned about Mother Earth are choosing a fresh Christmas wreath.

Go green...buy evergreens. 

Our Thoughts

Nothing to get you in the spirit like smelling the loveliness of an amazingly created Christmas Wreath!All the stops were pulled out for the craftsmanship on this Rustic Wreath. Extremely sturdy, and it smells so good! You can't help but have visions of Santa Claus when you are smelling the fragrance of evergreens! The circle thing (I don't know what it's called) that all the boughs are attached to looks to be a metal ring (thick) that is painted green and looks reusable so you can also get your craft on when you've used the Wreath to it's fullest capacity.

The wreath does come with the bow pictures with each wreath on the website. It is quite large and comes with the wiring necessary to attach it to the wreath. The packaging was done with care, nothing was broken or smashed and it came in mint condition (or should I say evergreen condition?)!

Browsing through their website you can see the many different styles they offer and it looks to be they have a little something for everyone! Check out their Facebook page too.
