Get Trend frosted Christmas tree with berries, pinecones and warm lights (50cm)

Description

A ready-lit tree can be a lovely gift for someone who still wants the pleasure of Christmas decorations but would rather keep the setting-up simple. This Get Trend miniature tree combines frosted greenery, red berries and pinecones with a warm white glow. Its compact shape is easy to find a home for, even in a room where a floor-standing tree would be a squeeze.

It stands approximately 50cm high and 32cm across, with a weighted base wrapped in rustic fabric. The green version has a traditional woodland feel that works with most Christmas colours.

A little woodland scene

The red berry clusters bring brightness to the green branches, while the pinecones add texture and the frosted tips introduce a hint of winter. There is already plenty to look at, so you can keep the surrounding display modest: a bowl of wrapped chocolates, a favourite ornament or a small collection of Christmas cards would be enough.

If you enjoy adding personal touches, choose just a few lightweight decorations that sit comfortably among the berries. Keeping some branches visible will preserve the tree's natural shape. Other themed options are available, though this is the classic green tree described here.

Warm white lights already in place

The LED lights are pre-installed, saving the task of winding a separate string through a small set of branches. Their green wire blends into the foliage, helping the lights look like part of the tree. Two AA batteries are required and are not supplied, so include them if you are giving the tree as a present.

The battery compartment has a short connecting lead. Keep it close to the tree and avoid pulling on it while you move or store the display. This practical detail is worth remembering: a customer liked the tree very much but found the short wire restrictive when packing it away.

A thoughtful decoration for a small space

Buyers of the green version regularly praise the combination of fitted lights, berries and pinecones. It has been enjoyed on windowsills and console tables, and one customer gave it to someone living in a small flat who was delighted to have a manageable Christmas tree of their own.

The branches will need rearranging after unpacking, but the main decoration is already there. Place the base on a protective mat, particularly on delicate furniture, and check that it sits level before switching on the lights. The weighted base helps support the tree, while a sheltered indoor position keeps the whole display easy to look after.

After the holidays, remove the batteries and support the compartment as you pack the tree. A little care with the wire and branch tips will help it return to its familiar festive shape when December comes round again.
