Revolving Christmas Tree Stand - Make Your Xmas Tree Magical This Season

A revolving Christmas tree stand will make your tree seem extra enchanting. When the tree turns, all the ornaments catch the light and throw it back giving you a sparkling winter wonderland right in your living room.

The most important thing is to make certain you get the measurements right. The very last thing you would like is to buy a stand and then discover that it does not fit your tree. Being a piece of vacation merchandise, returning something like this may be hard. The best way to get round this is to just double check all of the measurements. You may also need to check the height and weight of your tree to make absolutely certain that the revolving Christmas tree stand can handle it.

If you want to get round this trouble, buy a tree that comes with a rotating stand. In a number of ways, this is basically a better choice than trying to find a stand to fit a tree you already have.

Having lights on the tree is something that you should think about during the shopping process. There are a pair different options you can select for this. Many trees come with lights already on them, and this takes a lot of hassle out of the method of decorating your tree.

If you have special lights that you would like to use, find a tree that's made to keep the quantity of cords on the floor to a minimum. Some trees with a revolving Christmas tree stand have a plug at the top that you can plug your lights into. This way the cord runs down the inside of the tree, and then there's just one cord going from the tree to the wall. If this is the option you're going to go with check to discover how many strings of lights or watts the plug can handle.

If you are looking for a terribly fancy model, you will find one that also plays vacation music. Many of those can have the music option switched on and off as you please. This naturally will affect the price. It is great that when you are shopping for a revolving Christmas tree stand, you can find everything for terribly cheap models to awfully pricey ones that do many different things. So no matter what your requirements or budget are, you can find a stand to fit.

A rotating stand is one of the finest ways to show off your ornaments. No matter what kind of ornaments you have, the delicate motion of the tree will show them off nicely. One of the absolute best things about them is that you never have to fret about which ornaments are going to end up against the wall.

Once you have your revolving Christmas tree stand, you'll be able to decorate your tree just the way that you want it. Use the rotating feature to test the tree over as you decorate so you can fill in the spaces. Most of all, step back and enjoy your handwork once you are finished.

Choosing An Artificial Christmas Tree - Tips To Consider When Making A Purchase

Real or artificial? If you're like many other people, you've decided to go with an artificial tree this Christmas season. Whatever your reason, choosing an artificial Christmas tree can be time-consuming, especially if you're a first-time buyer. There are several things to consider as you search for your "perfect tree" and you'll find the following tips very helpful when making your decision.

Besides a Nativity set, the tree is the focal point of Christmas decorations and long-lasting traditions. Songs and stories have been written about them, cards are adorned with them, presents go under them and they've been recognized by the U.S. Postal Service. Clark W. Griswold represents many of us as he went in search of his perfect Christmas tree in a popular holiday movie classic. They are as unique as each of us is individual.

Benefits of an artificial Christmas tree

There are some very compelling reasons to go artificial:

* Allergies- the obvious and greatest reason for many people and pets

* No dropped needles or sap which means less vacuuming and cleaning and more time enjoying the Season with Loved Ones

* Make the purchase once instead of spending money every year to only put the tree out on your sidewalk for recycling later,

* Not the fire hazard a real tree is. Where do you think the old expression "went up like a Christmas tree" came from?

* Put it away decorated after Christmas if you have the storage space. Just cover it in a re-usable plastic bag from the dry-cleaners or a garbage bag

* Branches won't droop under the weight of heavier ornaments

* No "bare" spots you have to try and fill in. Just move the branches and it's done.

* It can be a family heirloom and handed down to your children and grandchildren

Tall, short, slim, tabletop, indoor/outdoor, flocked, pre-lit or not?

These are the questions to keep in mind.

Beginning with height, you may have a nine foot ceiling but that doesn't mean you should get a nine foot tree. Keep in mind your tree-topper. How tall is that angel or star? When you put it on the tree, will it be touching or scraping the ceiling? Leave several inches from the ceiling, if possible.

Do you have enough room in front of the picture window or do you need a slim tree to fit between the two chairs in the Living Room? A slim tree would also be great for a corner to save space in a small apartment or even near a staircase in a hallway. A good way to give a quick measure without getting too technical is to stand in front of the place you'd like to put the tree, just extend your hands and arms to get a "visual idea" of the space. Picture the tree there and see how you want it to look- after all, it will be your showpiece for all your holiday enjoyment. You'll have an approximate idea of how wide and how tall you need it to be.

It seems like a "no-brainer" to get an indoor tree because that's where it's going to be. However, you're buying this tree because it will last. Down the road, you may move to your dream home and you need a taller, wider tree. Visualizing the perfect holiday scene from your favorite magazine, you want to put a tree out on your front porch or by your walk-way to the front door. The indoor/outdoor tree would be used again and again, instead of being discarded.

Pre-lit trees are handy if you're a "no-fuss" kind of person. Having an un-lit tree and putting your own lights lets you change the "look" of your tree from year to year. You could do a silver and gold motif one year and go completely crazy with pink and white the next. It's all up to you.

How do you find a great selection to choose from?

There usually isn't much of a variety in local department stores because space is limited and they have to compensate for overhead costs. Researching online is the way to go but very time-consuming. You need to find great trees and great prices. Some on-line companies have sales incentives like free-shipping, etc. Your best bet is to find someone who has done the research, found the sales and the best variety to choose from and see what they've found.

Unique Christmas Tree Themes

If you are a style maven who is a bit bored with the traditional then you might be interested in unique christmas tree themes. Here are some unique suggestions for christmas tree themes that are sure to be real conversation starters.

The Christmas Cocktail Party Tree

This christmas tree theme looks great on both big and small trees. First, if your tree is not a prelit tree try stringing it with a string of novelty lights instead of the usual egg shaped lights. You can buy plastic novelty lights in the shape of Chinese Lanterns (for a 50's feel), chili peppers (for that modern martini bar feel) and Pink Flamingos (for that Tikki cocktail party atmosphere.)

Then try decorating the tree with tiny cocktail parasols and multicolored cocktail picks. If your tree is really big you could also decorate it with plastic champagne glasses into which you have glued sequins or glitter. Miniature chocolates filled with liquor also make nice tree decorations.

The Gingerbread Tree

This most gorgeous of christmas tree themes never goes out of style. It looks best on a green or red tree. Decorate it with gingerbread man cookies, red glass balls, tons of candy canes, red velvet bows
and homemade paper snowflake ornaments.

This tree looks great accented it with white or gold beaded garland or a bushy red or white tinsel garland. or icicle-look garland. Top it with a Christmas themed stuffed white or brown teddy bear.

The Chocolate and Gold Tree

This is probably the trendiest of the christmas tree themes described here. It looks great on a red artificial tree. The color scheme in this case is reds, browns and golds. Tiny twinkling gold and red
lights look best. Think of the eighties when you decorate this one. Decorate this tree with walnuts, pinecones and chocolates wrapped in foil. Gold coins are a nice touch. Then tie large transclucent gold
and red ribbons, using the kind of ribbon that has bendable wire inside onto the ends of the trees. The ultimate effect of this tree should be very opulent and lush.

The New Baby Tree

If you are celebrating the birth of a child or a child's first birthday this is a great tree to honor how happy you are about the new arrival in your home. The decorations suggested look great on
any kind of tree but you could consider buying a small blue or pink artificial tree. This is a good idea so any toddlers or infants around can't get ahold of any shed needles. Also if you buy prelit artificial trees then you don't have to worry about them yanking lights and pulling the whole thing down. If you have lots of toddlers around then you might want to opt for a small ceramic christmas tree until they are old enough not to grab at decorations and xmas tree limbs.

Pink, mint green, lavender and blue frosted glass christmas balls look particularly nice on pink or blue artificial trees. You can also decorate these trees with baby toys, baby bottles filled with candy,
teddy bears, baby booties and socks, pacifiers and wooden alphabet blocks. Little stuffed animals look great on this type of tree and a larger teddy bear or soft plush toy makes a great tree topper. If the
baby is a girl you might want to consider topping the tree with a doll dressed as an angel.

The Peppermint Twist Tree

This most minimalist of christmas tree themes looks fantastic on a bright white, prelit artificial tree. The color scheme of this is red and white but you can add a touch of green in the lights that you
string around it. Purists however think that keeping the whole thing red and white in every way looks best.

When it comes to the decorations stick with red and white round glass balls. Red and white frosted glass balls look much better than the conical ones. Also festoon the branches with as many red and white peppermint candy canes as you can find. Remember too that you can also stripe red or white christmas balls with white or red glitter by simply adding some glue in a striped shape to the ball and rolling it in the glitter.

You can also accent this look with red and white ball shaped peppermint candies. A large lollipop with red and white striping and surrounded by a sunburst bouquet of candy canes makes a great tree
topper.

The Sea Side Tree

This most unusual of christmas tree themes looks best on artificial trees in aqua or light blue colors. However it would also suit any tree that has a coral color such as light orange or pink.

This tree is decorated with treasures from the sea including seashells, sea horses, and ornaments made from aquarium decorations (treasure chests, coins and corals.) Strings of pearls can be used as
a garland and novelty lights shaped like seashells or even fish can be strung to enhance the aquatic theme.

The Snow and Ice Tree

This is one of the most unusual of christmas tree themes as it is white and icy blue instead of the more familiar red and green. First decorate it with a garland of novelty lights shaped like icicles or snowflakes. Your decorations should be made of see through plastic or crystal so it looks like the tree is dripping with frozen, glittering shapes. Instead of cotton batten, drape the tree with faux spider
webs or cotton shreddings to simulate boughs heavy with snow. You can even mound this cotton at the ends of the bough so it looks like it has been clumped there.

Your final step is to spray the whole thing down generously with flocking. Flocking is simulated snow that comes in an aerosol can. You can spray this stuff on just about any kind of tree including artificial prelit christmas trees and ceramic trees to make them look frostier.

This treatment is stunning on a white artificial tree but it also looks great on red, purple, blue or other artificial trees as all of the white provides a nice contrast to the tree's original color.
