Christmas 2021

We just had our 5th annual Christmas Open House this past Saturday and as always it was a success! We want to thank everyone that came to our event. We also want to thank our loyal customers for sticking with us throughout the crazy times 2020 and 2021 has brought us. We are still expecting more Christmas items to be delivered in December, so make sure to come back for that. We have been through a lot trying to get in our Christmas items for the store this year. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on to run any business. We work countless hours to put new items on the shelves almost daily. If you come in the store and see boxes on the floor, just know that we are working hard to get those items out to you. If you drive past the store and see our trashcan overflowing, come on in because that means we are putting out all kinds of things. With all of that being said, we do thank you for being patient with us while we try to make your Holidays the best they can be. We love you all and we wish you an early Merry Christmas.

Celebrating 4 Years

As we come into the new year, we reminisce on the years past. In 2017, Mountain Holiday opened with few things on the shelves but has expanded to become the beloved store it is today. We strive to make sure each of our customers are happy with their purchases and we want everyone to feel important when they step into the store. Cam has always said that there is a special spot in the store right in front of the counter. If anyone needs to laugh, cry, rant, or just feel like they have someone to talk to, Mountain Holiday’s store front is the place to come. There is a certain feeling you get when you stand at the front of the store and talk to Beth about anything and everything. We love celebrating your successes with you and we will mourn any losses with you as well. We have a desire to make you feel like family here at the store. We want Mountain Holiday to be a place that feels like a second home, a place that you can find the perfect gift, the place that you can come to when you need a break from reality. We make sure to have a variety of products to ensure that you will find just what you need. If you cannot find what you need at the store, let one of our staff members know and we will look into finding you exactly what you need!

Can You Hear Spring?

When the weather warms up at our house we love to get outside and just take it all in, the sights, the smells, the sounds. Spring is a great time and it’s not always about filling the days with activities, sometimes its just relaxing out by the pool or the backyard. These spring days often serve as a solace from the world, allowing us to recharge. If you close your eyes (after you finish reading this blog) and imagine the sounds, birds chirping, lawn mowers running, sprinklers spraying, you hear spring sounds galore. But the one that sticks out the most at our house is the sound of our wind chimes. In our backyard oasis we have several different sizes and colors of wind chimes, but there is only one brand for us, Corinthian Bells.

The reason we prefer Corinthian Bells is simple. Corinthian Bells are much more musical instrument than wind chimes. Every set of Corinthian Bells is tuned to a musical key specific to the style of chimes. The sounds are so peaceful but these chimes don’t just sound good, they look good too. Below you will notice the display from our store. Look close in the middle of the photo and you can see the first set of Corinthian Bells we purchased. Yes that large set of midnight blue chimes in the center. We’re not selling used chimes because we couldn’t part with these. That is a set we bought over five years ago, even before we owned Mountain Holiday. Examine the finish and see the powder coated finish looks almost the same today as the first day we hung them at our pergola. During all of that time we have left them outside and only took them down for two hurricanes systems that came through our area. You can see them and if you click the link below you can hear what they sound like too.

This is can be a difficult purchase for anyone who decides to buy a set of Corinthian Bells. The reason it’s so tough is because of all of the options. When you stop and consider all of the choices you have to pick from, each choice offering you the ultimate in customization so you get just the right set for your. The sizes range from 27 inches to 78 inches, with tube diameters from .75 inches to 2.5 inches. These chimes are outdoor art pieces and they come in one of the following colors, patina green, midnight blue, ruby splash, plum, cooper vein, black, green. So if you want to kick spring off right come see us at Mountain Holiday to get the set of Corinthian Bells you want. We will work with you to see all of your options and get you the ones just right for your oasis. Corinthian Bells make great gift that will last for years to come. Stop by Mountain Holiday and hear what you’re missing.

A Gift Just For Him!

You spoke and we listened! We had customers tell us there is a need in the greater Kings Mountain area for more gift items just for men. In order to address this need we are proud to introduce a brand new line of gifts for the men in your life. And what is the manliest activity, shaving! To capture the true sense of shaving pleasure, Mountain Holiday partnered with Parker Safety Razor. Parker is a worldwide leader in safety razor innovation and design. We believe these products represent timeless gifts that remind us of a bygone era. A time before disposable cartridge razors and shave cream in a can. 

The products offered are just like the real metal safety razors and shave soap in a mug our grandfathers, and their fathers before them, shaved with. Shaving with an actual metal safety razor can bring back the satisfaction of shaving. In order to be true to the history of shaving, not just any brand of razor would do. That is why we looked to Parker. Since 1973 Parker Safety Razor has been a family-owned and operated business from that creates shaving products manufactured to the highest standards. 

Parker safety razors have genuine brass frames, the brushes are handmade with the finest badger bristles available and the shave soaps are crafted with genuine Ethiopian sandalwood.  As a company Parker Safety Razors has a commitment to use only the finest materials to ensure the best product for our customers. This is the reason we decided to carry this line of shaving products here at Mountain Holiday. 

Why should you make the change and buy a new safety razor instead of a cartridge razor? The answer is straightforward and simple. The man in your life will enjoy shaving in this traditional manner, because shaving with a safety razor demands concentration. If shaving is to be done correctly there are steps that must be followed. Taking time to first understand the face and how hair grows is an essential part of the process. This allows shaving with a safety razor to be better for him and his skin. 

Shaving in this manner demands focus on the actual art of shaving and allows the shaver to forget about everything else. You get a few moments to yourself where you able to enjoy the traditional activity of male grooming just as it were for many decades. In some ways it can become meditative and therapeutic. Shaving is an essential skill that can be passed down and shared between fathers and sons for many generations to come.

As you view these individual razors, brushes, stands and bowls we hope you agree with us that each is an artful piece that adds a manly aesthetic to any bathroom. We have on hand several different varieties of shave soap, all with distinct scents. We are confident there is one you will surely find soothing.  In addition to being visually appealing and physically stimulating these products are more cost effective in the long run. While there is the initial purchase price up front, the long-term cost of double side safety razors is much less than the cost of even the cheapest cartridge razors.

If you are looking for a unique gift for Father’s Day or Graduation, and one that will last for years to come give our Parker Razors supplies a look. Stop by and view our in stock selection. Feel the weight of the razors, the softness of the brushes or the scent of the soaps. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for view the many styles, shapes and colors of Parker items available for order. We look forward to serving you at Mountain Holiday and to help you take home a gift that is sure to become a family treasure for your loved one.
