IRVING, Texas, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Michaels Stores, Inc., the
largest specialty retailer of arts and crafts, is predicted to have an
early holiday showing this year for their craft products, fueled in part by
customers who want to stretch their holiday budget.
"We've heard from our customers during this tough economic time and
many have said they'll take time to make personal gifts this year to make
something truly special for family and friends, rather than buying
high-ticket gifts," said Stuart Aitken, Michaels' Chief Marketing Officer.
"We're obviously thrilled that Michaels is the perfect place for
personalization, inspiration and creativity for those gifts."
Customers can personalize everything from ornaments, jewelry, gifts for
teachers & kids, frames, wine charms, candles, stockings, wreaths, center
pieces, gift tags and hundreds more. Find unique holiday project ideas in
store or online at michaels.com.
