Frequently Asked Question
What is a hinged artificial Christmas tree?
A hinged tree has branches permanently attached to the central pole, so you simply fold them down and fluff them out. That makes it much quicker to set up than a hook-in tree. The Everlands Grandis Fir range is hinged and available from 7ft to 10ft.
How many Christmas lights do I need for my tree?
A good rule of thumb is around 100 lights for every foot of tree height. A 6ft tree needs around 600 lights, and a 7ft tree around 700. Use more if you like a brighter, fuller look. To skip this step entirely, choose a pre-lit tree.
What is the best Christmas tree for a small home or apartment?
For smaller spaces, choose a 5–6ft tree or a slim pencil tree, which takes up less floor space without losing height. The Kaemingk Pencil Pine 5ft and the Everlands Imperial Pine 6ft are great-value options. For tables, windowsills or hallways, a 60cm mini tree adds a festive touch.
Can I use a Christmas wreath outdoors?
Yes, many of our wreaths are suitable for outdoor use on front doors and gates. Check the product description for "indoor/outdoor" use, and choose battery-operated or outdoor-rated lights for any wreath you plan to light up outside.
What Christmas essentials do I need for my first home?
Start with the basics: an artificial Christmas tree, Christmas lights, a tree stand or tree ring, and a wreath for your front door. A pre-lit tree is a great first buy because it saves you buying lights separately. Then add baubles and decorations and build your collection over the years.
How do I store an artificial Christmas tree?
Take your tree apart carefully, fold or fluff the branches inwards, and store it in a tree storage bag somewhere cool and dry. Good storage protects the branches and keeps your tree looking full for many Christmases to come.
