New John Lewis Blue Sherwood Spruce Unlit Christmas Tree, 7ft RRP £229

This bushy, artificial Christmas tree has flexible blue/green tips and makes the perfect backdrop to all your decorations. Simple to set up, the hinged branches drop easily into place requiring a small amount of'tweaking' to create the fullest effect. The tree comes in slot-together sections and a metal stand is included. We recommend using 500 lights on a tree of this size.
