Billy's Review:

The official holiday shopping season started last week on Black Friday (or should I say Black Thanksgiving) and I was one of the many people crammed in a department store trying to grab a few cheap presents. My annual tradition is decorating the house with Christmas things (a tree, snowmen, etc.) on the day after Thanksgiving, which takes a whole afternoon to accomplish. Then about 30 days later, I'll have to return all the decorations to the boxes and store them back into the crawlspace. It would be a lot easier if I had some decorations that could be left out all year long.

Luckily for me, I now have a decoration I can leave up long after the holidays have ended. Balsam Hill nicely sent me their Napa Valley Lavender Wreath, which was originally retailed at $99, but it is currently on clearance for $59.99.

Balsam Hill is the world famous company specializing in creating the best realistic artificial Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands and other holiday decorations. Their trees are used in hotels, embassies and the famous Macy's Santaland exhibit in New York City. The trees have also appeared on television programs such as Ellen, Rachael Ray, Good Morning America and The Today Show.

The Napa Valley Lavender Wreath measures 22 inches in diameter and can be used for indoor and outdoor, though I wouldn't recommend hanging it on your front door because it should come in direct contact with sunlight. The wreath is made from natural dried flowers, such as lavender, preserved sage green caspia, natural eucalyptus, white ammobium, phalaris, and purple sinuata, embellished with a purple ribbon. The wreath will last between 12 to 18 months.


Yes, the flowers are technically known as spring flowers, but the purple and green flowers can be perfect for any room of the house at any time of the year. The wreath was delivered to my house in a big box, which it was nicely tied down, so the wreath couldn't move. A few of the flowers had fallen off during the shipment, but all of the Balsam Hill wreaths are prepared fuller just in case a few flowers fall off. I'm not much of a flower person, but the Napa Valley Lavender Wreath is absolutely beautiful. The wreath didn't match anything in my place, so I gave it to my mother, which is now being displayed in her sewing room. Overall, the Napa Valley Lavender Wreath is a stunning, high quality wreath and it, along with other Balsam Hill's products, would make adorable Christmas gifts.
