The store also has a wide variety of ornaments that are generally priced between $1 and $3.99, with some as low as 70 cents. In addition to the tree fixings, Wojtusik’s decorates their own unique mixed-greens wreaths made of holly, foxwood, cedar and different evergreens. A regular door wreath is priced starting at $16.95.

With the holiday season upon us, there are deals to be found for the discerning shopper, even when it comes to such disparate gifts as diamonds versus toy train sets. If jewelry is on the gift list, head over to Polumbo’s Jewelers at 438 East St. in New Britain. “We are selling a lot of sterling silver,�said owner Fred Dibattista, noting that gold jewelry sales are down. New items this holiday season will include what Dibattista described as “interesting handbags� and “interesting pearl jewelry,� which would make great gifts for a wife, girlfriend or
daughter. “Those are the big things,� Dibattista said. Polumbo’s Jewelers will be running sales of 20 to 60 percent off on select items through Jan. 1. Jewelry gifts can also be found
at J.P. Jewelers at 47 Whiting St. in Plainville, which will be offering 20 to 50 percent off on most items in the store. Mary Polumbo, store owner, said sterling silver jewelry and See JEWELRY, Page 11
