Santa's Favorite Christmas Wreath Giveaway - 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

Ok, I am a sucker for a wreath, especially a holiday wreath, which is why I asked the folks over at ChristmasForest.com if I could feature one of their lovely wreaths on my 2012 Holiday Gift Guide. They were kind enough to not only say yes, but they also offered to let me host a giveaway for one, too!

They sent me the Santa’s Favorite Christmas Wreath, which I found to be very nature-esque and quite beautiful. I’m just sad it didn’t come the day before, because my friend stopped by and was teasing me because I still had a summer flowers wreath on my door. I know, shame on me! Even worse, I still have it hanging on my door, as I planned to donate it to charity. I’m having a hard time giving it up, lol!

The wreath came with a nice gift card, which I always appreciate receiving as a blogger, or just as a recipient of a great gift. The bow was detached, and of course, I had to put it on differently than shown on their website, since I didn’t want to cover up my peek hole. Since the wreath had been sitting outside my door for hours, as I didn’t get home until late at night, so I was worried that it might have been damaged by the cold, or by lack of air. Thankfully, this wreath was packaged well, and I was hit with a pleasant wave of fir and pine, which was the strongest fir and/or pine scent I’ve ever smelled from any wreath or Christmas tree I’ve ever purchased in my life. To me, this means they are selling quality products, at affordable rates, and I give them an enthusiastic thumbs up!

About the Santa’s Favorite Christmas Wreath:

Santa appreciates class, and his favorite Christmas wreath looks fabulous with the organdy gold bow and the gorgeous Ponderosa pine cones. Our elves start with noble fir and add princess pine, juniper and incense berries.

It is 25″ in diameter, and is eligible for Free Shipping to Continental US via UPS Ground.

I really like that they post pictures of their entire staff on Facebook, as well as post things like the history behind Christmas wreaths.

History of the Christmas Wreath:

The history of the Christmas wreath dates back to the ancient cultures of the Persian Empire. During that era, Christmas wreaths were considered to be the symbol of importance and success.

It was around 77 BC when Greeks started using laurel wreaths as crowns awarded to athletes who came first in Olympica.

The Christmas wreath stands for a circle that has no beginning and end. Hence it is treated as a symbol of eternity, especially when made from evergreens.

Christmas wreaths made of evergreens symbolize everlasting life. The green color symbolizes hope and new life.
