There are trends that tend to come and go and they may exit the world so quickly that we have to wonder if they were there in the first place. We often see this when it comes to fashion trends or perhaps the latest dance craze that has been circulating online. Every once in a while, people also take these trends and attach them to their holiday festivities. These trends can also come and go very quickly but sometimes, they’re just unique enough to stick around for the long term.
I think that’s how many people feel when they see the unique Christmas tree in the pictures below. If your family has a Christmas tree in your home, you probably realize that they can be monstrosities and it can be difficult to fit one into a small space. That is where this interesting and unique trend comes in. Since people sometimes have difficulty fitting a Christmas tree into their home and quite honestly, nobody likes decorating the back of the Christmas tree, this is perfect for those occasions.
The back of the Christmas tree, which is where we often skimp when it comes to decorating does not have to exist in the first place. Thanks to an American retailer and catalog company, Hammacher Schlemmer, we now have the ‘against the wall Christmas tree’ or half Christmas tree.
It’s very similar to what you would expect from the description. It’s half of the Christmas tree with the back half fitting right up against the wall. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
Not only does it save size, it also helps to save decorations. You don’t have to get the extra string of lights that will stretch around the back of the tree and you are only, in essence, using half the ornaments. It can even save you on electricity because you aren’t operating as many lights.
This tree also comes with 350 pre-strung LED lights! How easy can it get?
The tree is 78 inches tall, 22 inches deep and 43 inches wide. It weighs about 30 pounds, and you can even fit some packages underneath it.
Although the tree is made for leaning against a wall, you really aren’t limited when it comes to your options. Some people even buy two half trees and put them on opposite sides of the wall from each other.
The cost of the tree is just under $250 and if you order it to Canada, it’s duty-free.
Another type of half tree is also available, and this is a 6 foot tree from Argos Home that provides a little more room for presents.
Another type of half tree by Argos is cut in half horizontally, not vertically.
