I need help buying a tree!

[lovemybubba]

This is my first year in my own home, buying my own tree which isn't knee high lol.
What do I look for in an artificial tree?
Is fibre optic the way to go? How much should I spend?
If I buy it online without seeing it in person how do I know it will be decent and bushy lol?

ETA: where do you even buy trees from!!?

I got mine from Argos last year. 7ft luxury artificial tree. It's up to you whether to go fibre optic or not but I think putting my own string lights on looks more traditional. I got mine on sale in Argos last year end of November was about half price if you can wait xx

I will try to wait but what if they all sell out? Lol imagine having no tree at Christmas

Is that the one where you put he branches in individually? We got it,it's lovely. Majestic or something it was called.

I was worried about that too! Mine broke the day we were putting it up. Nov 30th and I had a mad panic but looking around I found them in asda, wilkinsons, Argos, B&M. There's a lot of places that sell trees x
