We need a new Christmas tree. My last one the dog pissed on (and tbh i brought it when I was broke so it was a bit... meh anyway). Mrs wants an real tree, which I would normally have no issues with but we're not here for Christmas day. Feel like a real tree is a bit wasted.
DT what would you guys pick? Also who makes good ornaments? Dog pissed on most of those too. And the Kmart ones looked great new but quickly fell apart.
Xmas is a big deal for me. I get real or fake trees depending on the theme. I prefer the real trees for the nice smell but have installed an all black fake tree this year.
If you go the real tree route, you need to jump on it this weekend or the good ones will be gone by the following. The scouts sell them and you can preorder. Also keep in mind they need watering almost every day. ( an automated watering system can be DIY if you’re so inclined)
If you aren’t that into it just get a fake one.
For ornaments, I source them from NSW. Christmas World or Amazing Christmas. You can buy in bulk.
Hit me up if any more questions
I've thought about a themed one. Black forest or the ones with the fake snow. Dunno if I'm brave enough though.
The problem is you have to use it for several years to get your money’s worth so probably just pick out a fake tree you can live with for a while, if you go that route
