Ambrose Christmas Store — Local services in Harlem Township

My family and I went to Ambrose for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Although the store is gorgeous, our experience was the opposite. I saw they had Kurt Adler nutcrackers (which I collect) and started to pick them up to see the detail in the nutcrackers to see which one I wanted to buy. I have many Kurt Adler nutcrackers. There was a boy that worked there who came rushing over and about snatched the nutcracker out of my hand. He asked about 10 times if I wanted to buy it. I told him I was still deciding. He lingered and watched my sister and me, like we were going to break it. It’s only a $100 item, not $1000! Chill! Then, while I was asking my husband which one we should buy, an older guy came over, acting all crazy about me and holding the nutcrackers. I finally asked him if I wasn't supposed to touch them since there wasn’t a sign. He replied that it was fine. Then he asked me five times if I wanted to buy it like the previous boy had. The whole encounter made me so uncomfortable. I ended up putting them back along with the rest of my items. I wasn’t going to purchase anything from them, and I’ll never go back. I shop at high-end stores like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany and have never been treated like this before. I went to Cornerstone in Lake Geneva the next weekend and bought two Kurt Adler nutcrackers from them, and they weren’t lingering over my shoulder while I was...

PARENTS BEWARE!!!

We have been coming to this store every Christmas season for the last 5 years. We've have spent a great deal of money on their OVERPRICED ornaments each year because we love to support local business until this year when we were followed by (who I am assuming is the store owner). He then proceeded to tell me to not let my CALM and WELL BEHAVED daughter touch anything cause everything is breakable and he just stood there and watched to see if I would say something to my daughter (who was barely touching anything anyways, because I dont want her to break anything!! We respect other peoples property). I could understand the "stalking" and even the correction if my daughter was running in circles, knocking over ornaments, and not listening to me but THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. Perhaps this store should have a sign saying children NOT welcome.

But we're happy to take our business elsewhere where there isnt a grinch that appears around every corner. Merry...

BEWARE PARENTS!!!! STAY AWAY!!!! This store has a lot of stuff for Christmas and everything is way OVERPRICED. I took my daughter there, so she would love it. All those lights and the sparkle is nice to look at. My daughter is very well behave, I did not let touch anything fragile, so she would not break anything. Then a woman (skinny, short dark hair) walked up to us and told me that she is not allowed to touch anything and she has been touching everything. Everything in this store is fragile. Such a lie. My daughter is very well behaved and wasn't touching everything. First of all, that's impossible! I was going to buy a few overpriced ornaments, but after the encounter with a HORRIBLE MEAN WOMAN WHO WORKS THERE, I put all the ornaments on a shelf and didn't buy it. Such a disrespect towards the people with an accent and with kids. STAY AWAY, spend your money elsewhere where they will appreciate you. I am not the only one who has the same experience...
