Christmas Trees (and Ornaments and Accessories)
If you didn’t think you’d be able to bring home a beautiful Christmas tree from Home Depot for less than $50, you’d be mistaken.
A Home Accents Holiday 6 1/2-foot festive pine LED pre-lit artificial Christmas tree rings up for just $49.98, just under the bar, and boasts an impressive 4.6-star rating based on nearly 7,000 reviews. The tree features four different lighting modes, activating 250 color-changing fairy LED lights.
“I bought this for my son and his fiancé for their first apartment and it far exceeded my expectations! It’s beautiful!” one shopper wrote.
Here are some other items you might want to consider for your tree, courtesy of Home Depot:
- A full set of candy cane Christmas ornaments, priced at $44.99 for an 82-piece arrangement, featuring colored balls, donuts and other sugary treats, stockings, and beverage bottles.
- This beautiful Christmas crimson 24-inch tree skirt from Northlight, priced at a little over $28 on sale (regularly $32.98). This skirt is also highly reviewed.
- Don’t forget about the garland! A full 50-foot length of shiny rainbow garland is also available from Northlight for slightly more than $20 (regularly $23.98). “The garland is nice and full and the length was perfect for my 6-foot tree,” one buyer said.
- What’s a Christmas tree without a topper? If you’re looking to add some Frosty (the Snowman) flair to your tree, consider an Ornativity snowman hat tree topper for $17.98. You can place the hat at a jaunty angle to give your tree a bit of wintry attitude, should you like.
