Why we love it Lights4fun offers an array of beautiful, light-up Christmas décor, and its mini Christmas trees are particularly delightful! This mini Christmas tree is small enough to use as a tabletop decoration, or it would look lovely on a shelf too. We like the fresh and realistic look of this tree - perfect if you prefer a more paired-back vibe when it comes to Christmas décor.

Why we love it This Marks & Spencer mini Christmas tree is the perfect accessory for a rustic-look home. The relaxed hessian base and flocked branches look amazing teamed with cottagecore-inspired decor, and it'll instantly bring a farmhouse feel to kitchens and bedrooms alike. We particularly love the fact that this miniature Christmas tree has warm white lights sitting within its snowy branches. When they're on in the evening, they'll make your home feel really cosy, and so much more inviting than if they were cool toned.

We love the fact that this miniature Christmas tree comes in a simple grey pot, and we also really like the fact that when you purchase it, you'll be supporting John Lewis in planting 10,000 real trees at their Leckford Estate. Our favourite idea? Try styling this in a porch with a dusting of artificial snow. It'll give the entrance of your home a totally magical feeling.

The best thing about this mini Christmas tree is the fact it arrives through your letterbox, with a pop-up pot, gold star topper, moon and star garland, mini baubles and lights all included. There are even batteries in the box so it's as hassle-free as mini Christmas trees come! It's not artificial either, so you can fill your room with the fresh smell and authenticity a real tree offers.
