We’re a little biased, but we think our gifts and plants are truly stunning, useful, and create lasting memories for everyone. No need to worry about the sweater fitting or finding something that matches their color scheme. Our gifts fit everyone and coordinate with everything. Even Scrooge wouldn’t utter a single “bah humbug” when opening a present from our gift collection.
You may have everything decorated and have all of your presents wrapped under the tree, but sometimes things happen, and we need to do some quick shopping.
- Maybe your sister had a water pipe burst, so suddenly the family gathering has shifted to your house this year.
- You’ve just received an invitation to another party next week, and you’ll need a gift for the exchange.
- School has called and asked you to do something special for the music teacher after the choir program tomorrow.
- Your aunt and uncle are able to join you for Christmas after all. You haven’t seen them in so long, and now you want everything to be even more special.
We’ve all experienced at least one of these situations over the years. For one reason or another, now you’re going to need more food, decorations, and gifts to make this Christmas Present the best ever. Don’t let these unexpected situations scare the Dicken’s out of you! Take a deep breath and let Calloway’s and Cornelius Nursery help you with these last-minute details. We’ve got you covered, and we’re nearby with plenty of happy people ready to help you. There’s no need to fight the traffic or crowds at those big, impersonal stores. Who needs that extra stress?
Now that everyone is coming to your home, you’ll want to add a few special touches to your décor. Luckily, we all prepare too much food for our guests, and everyone is bringing a covered dish, so you’re all set there. A fragrant wreath above the fireplace will look stunning. Consider placing a Lavender Holiday Tree on bedside table or on the serving table in the kitchen. A Rosemary Cone or Lemon Cypress nestled between all the desserts will be so beautiful. For another stunning option, place your wreath flat on the coffee table with an Italian Stone Pine in the center. Your guests will be enchanted with your creativity.
For your overnight guests, Poinsettias are a quick and easy way to add holiday charm to any room. A big and beautiful Poinsettia or two will add Christmas spirit, after all, it is a timeless Christmas tradition. Princettias® are the perfect size for your table centerpiece. They are smaller and more compact, so your guests will be able to see over them as they reminisce about Christmas Past. They also make a wonderful parting gift once your guests head back home. With just these quick extra touches, your home is set, and now you can focus on those extra gifts.
We will always direct you to our most popular, sought after items, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Gardeners will always appreciate gloves, hand trowels, and pruners. Something as simple as these in their stocking will delight them. If you know gardening tools are their soft spot – Calloway’s and Cornelius will not disappoint. Our quality tools will make them happy, keep them busy, and last for years.
There are great options for those that just love being outdoors. Help make their patio a haven they can enjoy all year. A chimenea will keep them warm and cozy, and it is a gift that everyone can go in together. Be sure to bundle this gift with Light N Go Lighter Balls and plenty of Pinion Wood. You’ll win extra points for being thoughtful for providing the full package. No one likes when they receive a new electronic without batteries!
Stunning pottery is a must for setting the mood on the back porch. Gift them matching pots all in different sizes or if they have an eclectic flair, mix-and-match pottery may be more their style. Pair this present with a new plant, our premium potting soil, and a trowel. They’ll be potting up that plant before all of the gifts are unwrapped.
Extra party gifts are a snap too. A houseplant is the ideal gift for the person who has everything. Let’s face it, we also occasionally need gifts for people we don’t know as well, like your husband’s boss or coworker. Even if they are new to houseplants, they’ll have no trouble keeping something like a Sansevieria nice and healthy. Everyone will have a good laugh when you tell them the common name is “snake plant” or “mother-in-law’s tongue.” Pair your gift with care tips! Ask one of our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals, they will share their knowledge!
Christmas Cactus and Amaryllis are other great gifting plants. The Christmas Cactus blooms this time of year, when you wouldn’t really expect a cactus to bloom. It has become a symbol of faith and hope. It’s like a Christmas tradition with a bit of a twist. Giving a fast-growing Amaryllis Bulb is always fun because they watch it grow and bloom within just a few weeks, they will also last well into the New Year for their enjoyment!
Gift cards are always a quick and stress-free way to check off those last few items. You can purchase them in our stores or online at Calloways.com. E-Gift cards can be emailed directly to the recipient, and you can even include a personal message. Need a little something extra to pair with the beautiful plant you picked out for your friend? A Calloway’s Gift Card makes the perfect addition. Imagine their joy as they browse through the store, selecting the ideal pottery to display their plant in or discovering great tools to get their flowerbeds looking picture-perfect.
We hope that shopping with us has helped you make your home, your décor, and your holidays more calm and bright! Here at Calloway’s, our goal is to banish the spirits of “Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come”.
And, as Tiny Tim observed in Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol, “God Bless Us, Every One!” Merry Christmas from all of us here at Calloway’s and Cornelius Nursery!
