And with Gift Folks, you can mix different décor items and accessories from multiple brands in one single cart, making holiday decorating easier than ever.


Step 1 — Choose the Right Tree Size

The size of your Christmas tree sets the foundation for your décor.

Height

  • Small spaces: 3–5 ft trees

  • Standard rooms: 6–7.5 ft

  • Tall ceilings: 9–12 ft

Width

Look for slim, narrow, or full trees depending on how much floor space you have.


Step 2 — Pick Your Tree Style

The style determines your holiday vibe.

Traditional Green Trees

Classic and timeless—great for any décor theme.

Flocked Christmas Trees

Pre-treated with “snowy” finishes for a winter wonderland look.

Colorful Trees

Pink, white, and black Christmas trees are trending for modern and aesthetic holiday themes.

Character Trees

Grinch Christmas trees, LEGO trees, or themed options are fun for kids and playful households.


Step 3 — Decide Between Pre-Lit or Unlit

Pre-lit Christmas trees save time and deliver consistent illumination, while unlit trees offer total creative control.


Step 4 — Know the Branch Type

  • PVC: More affordable, classic look

  • PE: Realistic, high-quality needles

  • Hybrid: Best of both worlds


Step 5 — Choose a Sturdy Base

Look for trees with a durable metal stand or decorative base for long-term use.
