My SIL and I went into the Hallmark at Friendly Ctr looking only for a specific Jim Shore ornament. As we entered, we were almost immediately greeted by a very tall, young man who informed us that holiday items had been marked to 75% the day before and they had been extremely busy all day…however, there were still many nice items remaining that he would be glad to help us find.
