The Ultimate Christmas Store: Sierra West

What are some of the first questions that pop into your mind regarding the holiday season?

Are you wondering where to go for your seasonal home decor?

Are you concerned with finding great, “all-encompassing” stores for Christmas shopping in your area?

Or is all of the above leading you to feel overwhelmed with the pressure of the holidays?

For all of our rustic home decor lovers passing through or living in the Casper area, we have your next go-to spot for all your Christmas decorating and home decorating needs: Sierra West.

Sierra West Brings Rustic Elegance and Charm

Judy Anderson, owner and full-time presence at Sierra West (except for Sundays), holds a deep affection for her downtown Casper store. In the family since 1988, the shop stands as a cherished gift. Initially started by Judy’s daughter, who later relocated to Minnesota, the holiday ambiance within the store remains as vibrant as its inception. Despite the distance, the festive spirit is shared by Judy and her daughter, who makes the journey to Casper each Thanksgiving to lend a helping hand to her mom and the other employees during the bustling holiday season (be sure to drop by and say “Hi!” amidst the Thanksgiving cheer).

As someone who loves and appreciates interior design, Judy recognizes the “perfect fit” that Sierra West has in her life. She originally studied interior design, and after serving as a Manor Heights teacher for some time, she was blessed with returning to her passion full-time by running this store.

At Sierra West, you will find various home decor styles. However, Judy states that her intention for each piece is not to be fancy but to be “neat.” Many of her recurring shoppers, along with the new ones, love paintings and other unique wall art pieces found here. Not only this, but her hides, which range from small runners to large area room rugs, are some of her top-selling items! These hides are all 100% authentic and are of exquisite quality as well.

Cross Off Your Christmas Wish List

When the holidays feel a bit “much,” turn your attention to the “Santa” of holiday decor shopping… Sierra West! Transforming into the “North Pole” of holiday decor shopping every year, Judy’s store, also labeled as “The Christmas Store,” unveils a spectacular array of festive treasures. Picture hundreds of meticulously arranged items, each with the spirit of the season, awaiting their unique home through the holiday shoppers. Judy shared with the DDA team that she has over 82 fully decorated Christmas trees available in-store—enough to cover not only the lower level of the shop but the main level as well! While we know that decorating a Christmas tree is one of the most fun holiday traditions we partake in, the truth is, we sometimes don’t know where even to begin, especially when the holidays seem to sneak up on us so quickly…

Judy and her team prepare a store full of your favorite Christmas goodies and go-tos to take the load off. You can find it all here, whether it’s a garland for the mantle or an advent calendar for the little ones. To make your holiday shopping experience a little merrier, the owner told us she will run holiday decor sales from nearly 20-30% off on all items.

Yes, you read that right—all items in Sierra West are included in this incredible sale!

The Sierra West Experience

When you step into Sierra West, you naturally feel like family. If you’ve been in Casper for a while, you may even know the lovely Judy outside of the store as well. And if you do, you know you are nothing less than her friend!

Judy shared that she loves having new and old visitors inside her store. She also stated that being in the downtown Casper area brings many “… interactions that just give her light.” She appreciates the sociability aspect of her role first and foremost, with all of her many different “hats” as a business owner. She mentioned:

“I love it every minute I am here. I could never resent a minute that I am here because I just love it. If I did not love this work, I wouldn’t be here.”

To say the least, Sierra West is a store full of heart. It is evident here, especially in holiday decorating and the overall essence of the holiday spirit. If you are looking for somewhere that brings the Christmas “wow factor” and makes your shopping experience personalized and unique to you and your family’s needs and wants, this is the place to go!

If you are hesitant to start your seasonal decorating this early into the holidays, be sure to catch Miss Judy and other members of the Sierra West team at this year’s local Chocolate Walk and the Business Expo that is happening within the next few weeks.

We’ll see you in #MyDowntownCasper, holiday shoppers!
