Tabletop Christmas Tree Types

We Love Tabletop Christmas Trees

Imagine a Christmas tree that fits anywhere, from your office desk, to a small corner table, to maybe even in your car! A tabletop Christmas tree, sometimes just called a small Christmas tree, is any one that is perhaps 4 1/2 to 5  feet tall at most, and for many people the 2 to 3 foot range is the sweet spot. You've got a lot of choices ranging from various types of artificials to natural trees.

First of all, we love the selection and prices of Christmas Trees at Christmas Trees for Me.

A small natural tree is certainly one option. We suggest you buy these locally. Unfortunately in many places  you'll pay the same price for a 7 foot tree as a 2 foot tree, and that just doesn't seem fair. Still, a natural tree, the least convenient for many of us, simply rocks! It smells wonderful, looks great, but does need regular watering so it doesn't die and brown too quickly and shed too many needles.

A live potted tree or other plant is another great choice. I had a Norfolk Pine for years that doubled as a Tabletop Christmas Tree come the holidays. You get a live tree or other plant, yet they do not need to be disposed of come the end of the holidays.  A great choice, although perhaps a bit untraditional.

A realistic looking artificial is a great choice for many. A quality one will last for decades, there is no mess or fuss, they are easy to setup and takedown, and you save money over buying a natural one every year. Artificials look incredibly realistic these days and come in several types as well, for example the Vermont Instashape Fir and Mixed Country Pine.

A course an artificial need not look real to be great. Some awesome choices include a  silver/aluminum colored retro tree, as well as pink, purple, red, white and many more. We like the selection and prices of these Colored Trees.

One more choice in the artificial but not realistic category is a decorative Christmas tree. These do not even attempt to mimic the shape of a real tree, but can be wonderful as a Christmas table centerpiece for example.

Of course you can also just go cut a few branches off any convenient pine or other evergreen depending on where you live, or maybe even use a piece of driftwood or other branches. There are no rules when it comes to tabletop Christmas trees (other than good cheer!).
