OMO: Recommend me a Quissmas tree
Ok so never owned one of these things before and although I'm one of these normally:
 I would like a little tree to decorate and that's as far as my festive cheer is going to go. I blame YC for buying me a surprise advent calendar. I don't have the time to trail round shops checking out bargains, or go through Ebay for that matter so thought I'd ask you lovely people. Criteria: Don't want a massive one, about 4ft be good. Don't want to fork out loads on a fibreoptic one (but they are pwetty). Pros and cons of a real one - don't like messy needles. Fire away  Was even thinking of making one of these for something different...

Just get a plastic one, it'll save you money and be more environmentally friendly in the long run.

If your one tree lives then yes it'll be a bit better, the photosynthesis might even offset the environmental cost of shipping you a new one next year and eventually your going to run out of space. |

Got a 6ft black fibre optic tree from B&Q for £35 2 years ago. B&Q do seem to be just about the cheapest for chrimbo decorations/trees.

Fibre optic here too. It twinkles. Changes colour, looks tasteful, and it can have baubles if you desire.
Got it in a local garden centre, better than b&q.

Yours is probably better, but mine was probably cheaper!

Nothing beats the smell of a real tree! Well, except bacon. Maybe fabricate a tree from bacon.
