This store is perfect for Christmas lovers, or if you're just looking for unique ornaments and Christmas Knick knacks. Found this store while walking on Thames St in Newport, RI & will be sure to come back to grab some goodies w/ Christmas approaching hehe. Here you can find a new Christmas tree, reefs, ornaments, Christmas themed blankets, & more. They've got stuff for everyone! As you can see, I even found some hello kitty ornaments, HOW CUTE! Every wall in the store was stocked, full of different ornaments from the Simpsons, to family guy, to more of the Xmas classics like the Grinch. The store is ginormous & I didn't even know they had two floors! I guess they also have a lower level that you can get to via stairs & there you can find more goodies, how awesome! Definitely a Christmas lover's paradise! read more

I travel to Newport every 2 years, and this is always a first stop. It's like stepping into a Christmas wonderland and makes my heart happy. Unfortunately, that experience changed yesterday. My husband and I found an item we loved, but had questions. The item was on display about 10 feet out of reach, and there were several similar items in different sizes, so we couldn't determine the size ourselves or even which box to take. At the register a young woman told us she could help us but needed to finish checking out a few customers first. We were good with waiting. While waiting, an older blonde woman came rushing out from the back. We asked if she could help us with the item. Without even looking into our question, she dismissively told us, "Everything is right there" and walked away. Since that didn't answer our question, I found her again as she was fixing ornaments and again asked if she could help us with this item. In a very irritated tone she said "The box is right there, on the end. It's RIGHT THERE!!!" motioning erratically with her hands. I politely asked if she could please show us since we weren't sure of the actual size, given that there were several sizes of the item. She brushed by me, walked to the box, picked it up, and thrust it toward my husband while saying, "HERE! HERE IT IS!" And walked away hissing under her breath. I've never experienced such hostile customer service, especially in a store that is supposed to embody the joy and spirit of Christmas. I spend hundreds of dollars in this store with each visit, but yesterday we left after this outrageous behavior. It's disappointing that one employee can ruin what was once a treasured experience. I sincerely hope management takes customer service more seriously and actually observes how their employees interact with customers on a daily basis. I am now a former customer - won't ever be back. read more

I was in Newport for a cousin's night and we saw the store a Christmas to remember and knew we had to go in! It's so beautiful from the outside so once you enter, it's a Christmas wonderland! The store has a variety of decorations and walls and walls of different Christmas ornaments, all shapes sizes, characters and prices. I felt the prices were fair for the ornaments. I picked a snoopy theme ornament that I've never seen at another store before it was so cute! It was pretty crowded for a Saturday night, but the store is pretty big so there is room to move around. The checkout was quick, and the girl at the counter was very pleasant. if you're in the Newport area, In need to pick up some Christmas ornaments or even a present,I recommend going here. read more

Awesome Christmas store on Thames. Huge collection of everything Christmas. I probably would've bought some thing if the employee actually looked up from her phone and greeted me or even acknowledged me for that matter.... Customer service goes a long way.... read more

It doesn't have to be Christmas to celebrate the holidays at A Christmas to Remember, because this cute boutique is open all year round! Even though I was a bit skeptical at first, I was delighted to find that you'll feel just as at home here in July as you will in December. They have pretty much every ornament imaginable, from fancy Dia De Los Muertos skulls to personalize-able pet photo frames, and you'll find a few additional gifts and holiday surprises along the way! I love finding unique ornaments that fit the personality of whoever I'm giving a gift to, and tying on onto the present as an additional bonus. I got my boss for the food tour company I work with an avocado toast ornament, and she absolutely loved it. Traditional or quirky, if you're looking to deck the halls in style, A Christmas to Remember is the place to do it! Yes, the ornaments and decorations can be a bit on the pricier side, but there's nowhere else on the island you're gonna find one of kind pieces like these! The multileveled shop is great for browsing, and the employees are friendly and helpful - just what you'd hope for in a store that specializes in spreading holiday cheer! I'll be shopping here this Christmas and in Christmases to come! read more

Stopped by here for a yearly visit. We browsed around for a while and bought some beautiful ornaments. I enjoy this store as much as I do any place in Newport. read more

Love this store. They have a lot of beautiful stuff for your Christmas tree. Even when you go there in spring, it feels like Christmas inside the store. If you have a chance, check it out. read more

A nice store with many, many different types of Christmas ornaments. Very few other Christmas collectibles other than ornaments, though.

Great two floor shop with a really nice selection of Christmas ornaments. This store has changed locations a couple of times over the years in Newport and it's currently located in a very visible location (Thames St.) I know that Christmas is a distant thought outside of maybe a couple of months a year, but this shop covers a unique niche and carries some nice Newport ornaments to remember your trip by when the holiday season does roll around. I wish they carried some of those porcelain Christmas village houses, but outside of that, no complaints. read more

A Christmas to Remember - Holiday Decorations Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Beautiful ornaments, it's easy to get lost in this store for hours. Well organized, friendly service and great variety.

Let me start by saying, as a former small business owner, I have never written any negative reviews of any local business as service and reputation are clearly the differentiators to survive against the convenience of online purchasing. Everyone business has the opportunity to make right when customers have a bad experience, however, this is not the case with A Christmas to Remember, in Newport, RI. I also need to point out that I have been a customer for years of this establishment and return annually for personalized and coastal themed ornaments and decorations. This year was no different, concluding with a $214 purchase of ornaments, stocking stuffers, and tree decorations, or so I thought. The evening of my purchase, there were two employees working the store. I placed my full basket on the counter to be wrung up and at the same time, ornaments personalized. As the female employee attempted to personalize my ornaments, the male employee rang my order and commented that my order was the largest order he had rang up. I joked with him not to say that too loud as my husband was with me! He continued to process my order and answered a phone call at the same time and remarked to the caller he could not talk at that time as he was in the middle of something big. The female employee had a tough time with some of the personalization on the ornaments to the point I asked her to stop and I would do them myself when I returned home. She proceeded to tell me what I needed what supplies I needed to erase and redo what she has attempted to complete (91% alcohol and magic eraser). To this point, although I would need to purchase these supplies (including calligraphy pens) to complete what should have been a free offering of the establishment, I recognized she had tried her best, but not to satisfaction. Where my experience breaks down is when I finally had the opportunity to decorate my tree, nine days after my purchase, I noticed the six unique tree coastal picks that I absolutely loved were not in my bag. After searching all my purchases from our shopping experience, I then called the store and that is when I had the unpleasant of speaking with Michelle, the owner of the store. I explained why I was calling and Michelle acknowledged that the tree picks were indeed left behind, however, she also indicated I had not paid for the items and she didn't know if she still had the picks in stock. I explained to Michelle that I found that hard to believe that I wasn't charged for them as the items I had at home didn't seem possible it could add up to the amount I spent. At the time I called Michelle, I did not have my receipt in hand (my mistake). As I detailed my order to Michelle and she "rewrang" my order in the register, totaling an amount different from what I paid compared to what I had in my possession. I detailed my conversation with her employee about the largest order he had processed and she proceeded to challenge my statement as not accurate as she claimed my $214 was not a large order at all for the store. By this time, I was completely shocked and appalled that small business owner was basically telling me a statement her employee said to me could not possibly be true, insinuating I as not telling the truth. As the call continued, I found my receipt in which she kept telling me I needed for her to assist me. We concluded the call with I would return to her store with my needed receipt to show her what I paid for versus what was in my bag. I returned today with my receipt in hand, following the instructions needed for resolution, I was totally expecting a much more apologetic and accommodating business owner. However, the experience I had on the phone with Michelle only extrapolated into a much more horrendous customer experience. I had inventoried the items I had at home, some I did not have the price as they were gifts or I removed the tag when I placed the ornaments on my tree in which I left those prices blank. Michelle did not ask me to inventory or bring my items back to the store, she said I needed my receipt. As she proceeded to tell me I didn't purchase these items, I asked her repeatedly to explain why there were 18 items on my receipt and I only had 14 items in my possession and went on to say the prices of the items I left behind did not match the prices on my receipt. So that means, I was overcharged and did not receive the items I "bought". She then said because I did not bring all my items back to the store, she would only give me 3 of the 6 items I attempted to purchase. I followed her phone instructions to a tee and finally left her store after multiple attempts without the items I purchased or the money I was overcharged. Michelle, I left your store for the very last time and will never purchase another item from you again. Extremely disappointed in this terrible customer experience. read more
