White Tree but not a traditional Christmas tree

I have been looking for a white tree that I can use at school as a Memory Tree to hang wooden hearts on decorated with the names of loved ones by bereaved children. I ordered one from Hobby Craft which looked suitable but when it arrived it was quite spindly with not many branches (just 4 and I will be using it year upon year) and I haven't been able to find any others, I did look in M&S and Bentalls Christmas departments yesterday.
I just wondered if anyone sees something that would be suitable while they are shopping for Christmas presents if they wouldn't mind letting me know please as I would be really grateful for any help.

I made something like this by spray painting a fallen branch with white spray paint and then setting in in plaster in a large pot. If anyone you know has a large garden or you go on country walks you might find something suitable.

Thank you for replying, I did think of doing that initially but as my headteacher has given me a budget to buy one I think I would prefer a shop bought one that is sturdy and on it's own base if at all possible.

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your replies, the John Lewis one is just what I was hoping for, I have gone to look at it in real life today and it is lovely, I would love one for my own home as well.
