Best (affordable) garlands?

[CoffeeCheeseandCupcakes]

Could anyone recommend where is best to get decent quality (but not eye wateringly expensive) Christmas garlands?

The ones I've seen in local garden centres all look very sparse and it's so hard to tell the quality of ones online. Would love to get real ones - but want a few for doorways, stairway, etc so would be very expensive to do that every year. Instead looking for nice enough ones that I can put away and use every year.

Have a look in TKmaxx, I usually buy real garlands and then add to them myself but the nursery I usually go to put the prices up so much.

Bought 4 of the same last year in TKmaxx and they look fantastic, but I still added some very small battery lights and some cones, paid £19 each and they are very thick.

One thing I will say though you have to be quick as they sell out very quickly.

I looked at the TKMaxx ones before but even they were out of my budget at the time.
In the end I bought a basic one from somewhere like Poundland or B&Ms which cost £4. Added some random bits, bows, cones etc I found in a charity shop bag and a string of battery lights. Did a similar one for DD, she added thick gold tinsel to the back of hers.

I've just brought one from JL for £35 and one from dunelm for £25. The one from JL Is much nicer but they're both lovely!

one tip to make a mid range garland look fuller is to buy a cheap plain garland and lay the 'posher' one on top. Adding extra decorations and fairy lights can also make them look more premium.

Another trick that I use is to buy a relatively basic Garland then get real greenery from garden to stick in it. Looks like you’ve made a fresh one without much effort

I've seen the Wilko one in store and it looks terrible. More like tinsel
