These 7 Massachusetts and New Hampshire Christmas Tree Shops To Close Sunday

Author Geno
Christmas Tree Shops disclosed in a court filing after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May that the chain will close all of its locations in coming weeks.

Man my mother would be so bummed. She would spend HOURS at Christmas Tree Shops. As you’ve probably heard the company has filed for bankruptcy and will eventually close all of their stores. But there are a half dozen already on the chopping block, according to CBS News.

Doors will be locked for good for the Christmas Tree Shops locations in Natick, North Dartmouth, Orleans, Pembroke and West Dennis, Nashua and Portsmouth, according to the report. Sales are being advertised with discounts up to 90% off. All stores will be closed by the end of August 2023.

They say the chain is also issuing warnings to its legions of fans: Don’t fall for online scams. They do NOT sell products online. Apparently there have been many imposter sites and social media accounts created during the going out of business process. [Source: CBS News]

Here's 8 Of The Greatest Thrift Shops Ever To Hit Massachusetts

  • Habitat For Humanity ReStore (Multiple Locations)

    https://www.habitatbostonrestore.org/

    Habitat For Humanity has a store called “Habitat For Humanity ReStore” where people donate their furniture and household items. I don’t believe you can donate clothing, but you can drop off bedframes, dressers, tables and chairs. It’s a good place to visit if you’re moving and trying to get rid of big pieces, and a great place to buy if you need those pieces for your new home!

    “The ReStore provides a more affordable avenue for home improvement projects, all while keeping tons of perfectly good items from ending up in the landfill.”

  • Goodwill (Multiple Locations)

    https://www.goodwill.org/


    Goodwill is probably the most well-known donation center and thrift store in America. There are thousands of locations and dozens in Massachusetts. According to their website, “Goodwill works to enhance people’s dignity and quality of life by strengthening their communities, eliminating their barriers to opportunity, and helping them reach their full potential through learning and the power of work.” They have created many jobs and training for people. You can find everything at Goodwill. Beware though, some of the stores have gotten a little pricy! (I’m lookin at your Portsmouth, NH!) Goodwill does have a rewards system though. Every $25 you spend, you get a point!

  • Salvation Army (Multiple Locations)

    Salvation Army Thrift Stores are some of my favorite places to thrift. However, some of them are well-kept and some of them have definitely seen better days. You never know what you can find in a Salvation Army Thrift Center though! I once bought a brand new gown that I fully plan on wearing to a wedding in the future. I also found a brand new, never-been-worn Carrie Underwood brand bathing suit and some brand new baby items. It’s a fun place to discover new things for sure!

  • Savers (Multiple Locations)

    https://www.savers.com/

    I LOVE Savers in Hanover. I have found designer purses there. I bought ALL of my maternity clothes there. I’ve found brand new shoes and I even found my baby’s rocking chair for his bedroom. I only paid $21 for that rocking chair and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever found. I bought a brand new air fryer. The finds are endless and I can’t say enough about it! Also, when you donate to Savers, they give you a 20% off coupon for you to use inside the store.

  • Wellspring (Weymouth & Hull)

    Wellspring’s “The Shops” is my local thrift store. They have two locations. One in Weymouth and one in Hull. According to their website, their “…integrated services, coupled with community investment, are instrumental in opening new doors and creating personal pathways to independence.” I have donated SO many clothes, furniture, baby items to the location in Weymouth. I also go in there every time I donate something and they ALWAYS have new items in there. The prices at Wellspring are the best thrift prices I’ve seen out of all the thrift store in MA. I highly suggest supporting this local thrift store!

  • The Blessing Barn (4 Locations)

    https://theblessingbarn.com/

    I have never been to The Blessing Barn but it is on my MUST go thrift list! I follow them on Instagram and it looks like they carry the most incredible finds. They sell furniture, mirrors, textiles, homeware. You name it they have it, and it seems like every room in the barn is themed in some way. Whoever runs this place needs to come and decorate my home!

    “The profits of the sales at our store go directly into the community by sponsoring our crisis care programs operated by our Non-Profit, Compassion New England.”

  • Plato's Closet (West Springfield & Waltham)

    https://www.platoscloset.com/home

    I’m not sure if this is a thrift store or a consignment store, but I think it’s a fun place to find awesome clothes! Plato’s Closet definitely has a Gen-Z vibe based on the young kids who work there, and the clothes that they accept. It’s also the only thrift store I’ve been to where they will pay to donate your clothes. I guess in some ways that makes it more of a consignment store. They only sell clothing! Check out one of their many locations sometime!

  • Buffalo Exchange (Multiple Locations)

    https://buffaloexchange.com/

    Buffalo Exchange is just clothes and shoes and in some ways it a similar business model to Plato’s Closet where you can bring in your clothes and you can get money for them. But for the buyer, this is where you’d go to find funky finds. I love their clothing and it’s reasonably priced.
