What Size Tree Should I Buy

There’s more to your Christmas tree than its height listed on the box, with bigger trees comes more tips to hang beautiful baubles and tuck away your lengths of lights. So when it comes to choosing your artificial Christmas tree, start your decision with the finish and decorating space you want in mind.

Some of our artificial Christmas trees come with over 2000 tips, that means that there are over 2000 branches to choose from when you want to hang your decs, tinsel and lights! But ultimately, you need to understand what theme and finish you want for your Christmas tree, so if you wanted a minimalistic finish then the needs for tips on your tree would be lower than someone who wanted to create a candy cane extravaganza! So when it comes to your choice, just keep in mind that the amount of tips will affect what you can hang and place across your tree! 

Lastly, the final decision comes down to how much space and ceiling space you have, but you can be sure to find a tree to suit all your needs in any height and width!

Real vs Fake

A renewable resource is an attractive resource, real Christmas trees are renewable as they can be replanted after being used for one season. With a real tree comes a real scent, real Christmas trees bring that true Christmassy smell into your home and make it feel as though Christmas has arrived at home. Whilst real trees are more natural, soft and fragrant with evergreen, they are not without their downsides.

A real tree requires tending to and maintenance throughout the season, and ultimately towards the end of Christmas some real trees may begin to look tired and sad. Throughout Christmas your real tree will consistently drop needles and require watering (not ideal when you have carpet!) and with watering comes the risk of fire if your tree is glistening with Christmas lights. And lastly, you always have the hassle of disposing or replanting your tree at the end of the season – and issue avoided with an artificial Christmas tree.

Artificial Christmas trees have progressed and improved drastically over the years and more so in recent years with new realistic finish technology and easy pre-lit connect lights. Made from PE/PVC moulded from real tree branches, their finish is unbeatable and so much like the real thing when inspected from a short distance. Available in a whole range of shapes, sizes, and colours to suite any Christmas theme or style, it’s so easy to find a tree that fits your needs and space.

Because they’re artificial this means that they come with little to no maintenance when compared to a real tree, no watering, pruning, or cleaning. More importantly, they can be used year after year, making them more environmentally friendly than previous artificial Christmas trees and reduces the number of real trees cut down at Christmas each year. Lastly, you won’t need to worry about replanting your tree (if you have space) for next year!

Pre-Lit vs Un-Lit

Pre-lit artificial trees take the hassle out of stringing lights. Simply plug in the tree, and voila – instant holiday cheer. No more tangled lights or burnt-out bulbs to deal with. And if you have young children or pets in the home, pre-lit artificial trees are a safer option since there are no hanging cords or sharp needles to worry about.

If you’re like most people, you love the holidays. Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the highlights of the season. But what if there was a way to make the tree-decorating process even easier? Enter the pre-lit artificial Christmas tree. These trees come with lights already attached, so all you need to do is plug them in and voila – instant holiday cheer.

For the more adventurous and decorative homes, an un-lit tree is perfect for homes where you like to use your own finishing touches. Un-lit Christmas trees give you the opportunity to add as much or as little as you’d like and if you want to add that extra touch of character, you can add decorative and garland lights for a beautiful finish.

Secondly, if you’re looking for a more cost efficient and simple Christmas tree that you feel doesn’t need the sparkle beyond your baubles, then an un-lit tree is the perfect option to create a subtle, natural finish.

Storage

If you’re short on storage space, an artificial tree is a great option. You may be thinking “where can I store a 6ft (or more!) tree for 11 months of the year?” Well, most artificial Christmas trees can be disassembled and stored in a relatively small space. And if you live in an flat or small home with limited storage, it’s a great benefit.

Most of our trees come in durable cardboard boxes which can be reused and recycled each year to keep your Christmas tree stored away safely, alternatively you can always opt for Christmas tree bag. Christmas tree bags are reusable, zippable bags with plenty of room for both your tree and the odd set of decorations or lights!
