Every year I look in the shops to find a lovely Christmas tree topper that I'll want to keep forever, rather than the £5 ones which I know will end up as landfill in a couple of years.
Ideally I'd love an angel one (seventies child here) but would love any ideas of good quality ones if anyone has come across any?

Check Balsam Hill - pricy but will last forever (I like to think our decorations will be passed on). I think they have a sale now too.
I got a Bethlehem star.

Garden centres seem to have the best decorations

Have you looked on Folksy.com for handmade ones? Or etsy?

@Harrysutton We bought a stunning Georg Jensen one almost 6 years ago in the new year sale at the store in Copenhagen. I was thrilled to see it on sale as I've always wanted one and managed to convince DH with some very spurious exchange rate calculations that it was about £15 - turned out it was more like £60!
Sadly it is SO heavy that no Christmas tree, including our very sturdy Balsam Hill one, can stand the weight of it and after a few years of it being held up with various bits of ill disguised doweling/chopsticks/pipe cleaners, we finally gave up last year and just admired it in its box when putting up and taking down the rest of the decorations!
