Has any one seen any nice pre lit ones? I got this but it’s not that nice - covered in fake snow so will probably take it back.

I couldn't find a decent one I liked so I ended up making one.

I bought a garland for 10 pounds on Amazon. Ordered some articial acorns. Some green ties and a bag of matching baubles from Poundland.

For lighting it up I got the battery pack lights from ikea. Buying the items was probably the most hassle. Making it was approx 30 mins.

Really pleased with it and am excited to have it up this year!

Laura Ashley had a nice one... can't find a picture of it lit, but it looked lovely in our local shop...

I couldn't find a nice pre lit one so just bought a really nice garland from a local garden centre and wrapped some fairy lights around it. It looks lovely

Last year I threaded loads of Christmas baubles onto a long length of thin wire with the largest baubles in the middle and smallest ones at the end. I hocked it onto our mantle piece and wound white fairy lights through it with a bit of ivy over the top to hide the wire.

Planning to do something similar this year. It looked really good and I had loads of compliments.

Sarah Raven has some good ones, some Pre lit. Similar to the Laura Ashley one.
Can't do a link sorry.

I bought a plain garland for a few pounds from The Range and then some lights/bells/collected fir cones etc and made my own. It's lovely.
