Looking to buy a real wreath this year, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestion about the best place to get one and what to expect to pay? Looking for something in North Raleigh off Falls, six forks, or Creedmoor roads. thanks!

Does that mean the farmer's market is out? I got a gorgeous one for around $20 last year from there. It lasted a week or two longer than I needed it to!

I don't know of a specific place, but most Christmas tree places also sell wreaths if you're looking for a fresh one.

Wal Mart has some fresh wreaths. They were very full and beautiful. I don't remember the name of the farm on the box, but I think it was local.

I noticed the Home Depot near me had wreaths and garland available right outside the entrance.

Another vote for the farmer's market. We were trying to fit a trip there in when we were down for T-giving, but sadly it didn't work out. The best wreaths are there.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I will keep the market in mind next year. I don't plan on being down that way anytime soon and needed to get one yesterday so I sucked it up and bought one from Home Depot. I it's actually pretty nice and has a bow and pine cones. With tax it ran me about $16 which is what my budget was. Thanks again for the help!

I'm too late, but picked one up at Lowe's Home Improvement for $5.00 They had placed the sign at the $12.97 wreaths, but honored the sign, since it was their error. The $5 "doorbuster" wreaths were just plain with a red bow. The one that had the incorrect signage was really nice, it has pine cones, berries, other fresh floral on it, etc...I'm thankful they honored the $5.00, I still would have paid the $12.97; I even told the manager, but he insisted honoring the price. This was at the Lowe's in Cary on 54. I will just buy an extra toy for the toy drive I do every year; since this worked out; pay it forward

Happy Holidays everyone...and yes, I started listening to Christmas music now that my favorite holiday of Thanksgiving has passed. LOL
