Decent but inexpensive artificial tree

[MsGazelle]

Hoping you can all help me with this. We normally have a real tree, but this year I want to get an artificial one because we are away for Christmas week and I have a crawling baby who is bound to knock it over/eat all the dropped needles from a real one.

We are on a budget this year though so I cannot afford £150 odd for a naice one. I am thinking more in the £50-£60 range. Can anyone recommend a nice looking tree at that price? I'd like it to be 6ft or higher. Or maybe I should do a small one on a table? Small ones just seem a bit less festive somehow though.

The 15 pound TEsco one looks pretty decent on their website.

The only £15 one I can see is 2.5 foot, which is definitely too tiny to make me feel festive!

What aboput getting a real one this year, and contacting all of the local garden centres now and asking them if you can reserve one of their ex display ones? They will all be displayed at the moment, but, after Christmas, they sell them off. Our local garden centres sell them for half price. If you're interested, contact them now, as they are in demand at our local garden centre.

I don't want a real one this year because we are away from the Saturday before Christmas until the following week. And because the baby will eat the pine needles. I want a reasonable fake one for years we are away from home, like this year, and then on years we have Christmas at home we can get a proper lovely real one.

tesco tree
It's 6ft

Have you looked in b&q? They have artificial trees for that price :)

Oh that does look good, thank you! It wasn't showing when I was on their site for some reason. I have ordered it,hooray!

No I struggled to find it on their website! I've got it too so I hope it's as good as it looks!

B&q eiger is really good. Pita to put up as individual branches but for the price I think its excellent value.

You beat me to it. I was going to say the Tesco one seems good.

Tesco have got Xmas trees in for about £50 for a 7ft one near us. It's the kind I wanted with frosty, snowy loom iykwim. I thought they would be rubbish, but our Tesco's has one up and it actually looks really nice. Think I might get one!

If you hold your nerve then Sainsburys reduce theirs a couple of weeks before Christmas. I got a 6 foot pre-lit one last year for about £25
