If you need a question that will elicit strong opinions, here’s a good one: When are holiday decorations “supposed” to go up?
Some insist on waiting until Thanksgiving is fully over, while others pivot the minute Halloween wraps. At Nightjar, we very much lovvvve Halloween so it’s a bummer to actually take those decorations down, but being a team that favors maximalist design, our cannabis dispensary in Bloomfield, NJ and cannabis dispensary in East Lyme, CT have fully transformed themselves into full-scale Winter Wonderlands.
After you’re done browsing the cannabis dispensary deals, take a seat in the lounge area which now resembles the living room of a well-read woodland creature: leather chairs, a fireplace, sparkly evergreens, and soft-lit lanterns. The pickup area is framed by birch-style branches wrapped in warm white lights, while a moose stands guard near like it wandered in from a ski-cabin catalog and decided to stay. And if you squint while holding a new Nightjar tote bag, it feels a little like walking through a holiday display in a bookstore that also sells cannabis. And yes – there really is a hot cocoa station!
If you’re searching for cannabis gift ideas in New Jersey or Connecticut, this is one of the easiest ways to surprise someone who loves Nightjar. We leaned hard into cannabis gifts ideas and cannabis accessories this season. If you’re hunting for stocking stuffers – tote bags, glass pieces, grinders, rolling supplies, Nightjar shirts – we’ve got ‘em.

If you’re visiting from Montclair, Clifton, Newark, Nutley, Glen Ridge, or any of the towns that orbit Bloomfield along the Garden State Parkway, consider this an invitation to add Nightjar to your holiday route. In Bloomfield, we’ve been a sponsor of the annual Bloomfield Center Alliance’s “Holiday Hunt” which is a lot of fun. And then there’s always the beautiful “Lights Spectacular” at the Turtle Back Zoo that you don’t want to miss. Montclair also has a lot going on during the holidays, from Montclair Flea’s holiday market to the annual holiday tree lighting at MC Hotel.
Not to be outdone, East Lyme also has its own version of North Pole meets cutesy Connecticut shoreline holiday events. In fact, this year Nightjar took part in the Buoys by the Bay tradition by decorating a buoy for Niantic’s community installation of buoy trees at Scheer Park. And for a true New England holiday display, no one does it better than Olde Mistick Village.


Whether you’re shopping, wandering, or visiting family along the Connecticut shoreline in Mystic, Old Saybrook, or Waterford, our cannabis dispensary in East Lyme, CT welcomes you to celebrate the holidays and keep the good vibes going all December. And the same for our friends in the Garden State! If you’re nearby in Kearny, Montclair, Belleville, or Newark, stop by our cannabis dispensary in Bloomfield, NJ for a cup of cocoa and holiday cheer.
