miaowwoof Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi Weve got a xmas tree from argos (came with trimmings and things for fire place) had it about 7yrs, problem is i think it looks sparce (gaps between branches). There is one in tesco reduced at £70 (7ft tesco finest alpine) looks on photo stunning, says its not sparce, with pine cones. Has anyone else bought it? Whats it like? Its expensive but maybe its worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It's a plastic tree you get out for two weeks a year. Is it worth it? Think what else you could do with £70 For example, for £60 you could help plant 4 trees with the woodland trust, have a tenner left over, and a self satisfaction that lasts all year! http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/en/support-us/plant-a-tree/Pages/new-forest.aspx or, spend £70 on your favourite tinned beverage, and make a tree http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2006/12/mountain_dew_soda_can_chr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beansforyou Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Think mine was £15, it's a pop-up one from Argos, look alot nicer in real life. take up no room when packed away. Don't you like this one at £24.99 half price http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2698410.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantos01 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Our lass wants a real tree for sum bloody reason? Not the best of ideas when youve got a cat ready to **** on it as soon as its in the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The Christmas trees at House Of Fraser are half price, true bargain, and they're much batter than those at Tesco. http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Christmas+Trees/1100,default,sc.html?fix You can buy online and collect in store But we they do have quite a few in stock in store anyway, and they're all on display.

beansforyou Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Was in John Lewis yesterday and found their tree selection dissapointing, looked half dead. They did have some nice crackers made from newspaper, so if they can do it (and flog them) i'm going to be wrapping my pressies in all the free papers that get shoved thru the letterbox.
