Do you have giant, old Christmas decorations you don’t have space for, or maybe you now look at and say, “What the hell was I thinking?” Arnold’s Bar and Grill in downtown Cincinnati may want to take them off your hands.

Starting Tuesday, Arnold’s is offering locals a chance to trade their big Christmas decorations for gift cards to the bar and restaurant.

“CINCINNATI: Our Christmas pop-up was a HUGE success,” Arnold’s shared on Facebook. “Thank you for showing up, making memories, and turning Arnold’s into a cozy little holiday wonderland. So we’re doing the most Arnold’s thing possible… We’re starting NEXT YEAR’S decorating right now by trading gift cards for your decorations.”

Arnold’s is asking for large decorations only — no lights or small items. They say they’re particularly interested in vintage blow molds (“the dream”), as well as giant statement pieces; yard decorations that are weird, vintage or nostalgic, or anything that would make someone pull over and say, “OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT THAT.”

If you have any item you’re willing to part with, you’re asked to message Arnold’s with a photo and a small note on its size and condition. If it fits the pop-up vibe, Arnold’s will make you a gift card trade offer. The bar and restaurant also says everyone who DMs an offer will get a free $10 Arnold’s gift certificate valid through Feb. 13, even if they don’t take your item.
