DH and I are both well into our 80’s and living in an apartment for the elderly. We can’t cope with decorating but have space for a 2ft high Christmas tree on top of a chest of drawers. This is purely for our enjoyment and we are not interested in what anyone else thinks of it but we are having a problem finding one to buy.
Can anyone tell me where I can look for one please? TIA.

Try this which is on Etsy, it's 23" tall so hopefully will be ok. They also had a lot of others to view - good luck !

Your local garden centre? I did see one last week probably about 18” high.

Look on Amazon?

I am another who recommends Etsy uk. Lots of choice on there.

For anything different I always go to Etsy . They have things that you won't find anywhere else plus you are supporting small manufacturers. And you can get things personlised if you want .

They had some in B&M last week which looked very similar to Etsy offerings but were literally a few pounds, not the amounts wanted on Etsy! They weren’t very big, possibly 15” but pretty. They looked seriously like some of those on Etsy so maybe they buy from B&M and hoik the price up to resell

I put in China Christmas Trees and all I got was plates and jugs with Christmas trees painted on them.

I can’t even envisage one.

My tablet warned against Spinnakers link.

Can anyone post me a picture? I’m intrigued.

Googling ‘ceramic Christmas trees’ brings up lots of examples Lathyrus3

Ah ceramic,

What a difference a word makes😁

Thank you👍

I get it.

I had this vision of lots of pottery branches with pottery needles attached.

I just couldn’t see how it would work to hang baubles on.

What an idiot🙄

I bought a lovely small driftwood Christmas tree a few years ago - possibly from Etsy…
Looks great (I think!) with just a few small decorations…

I hate to say it-but would a ceramic Christmas tree survive being knocked over?

I've had a few china Christmas ornaments and I've put that in the past tense for a good reason-they haven't survived kids ,dogs ,cats and guests who've enjoyed a drink or two .
There are plenty of pte-decorated trees available .

I thought they’d stopped doing online delivery?

I have one my late mother in law gave me. It's gorgeous and we carefully get it out every year & then gingerly put it away. It allegedly came from a lady that made them but not so sure now seeing the others online. I'm missing a couple of the coloured lights so will try to find them online.
