christmas tree alternatives

Although I love the look and smell of real Christmas trees, I have never been in love with the mess and maintenance of one.  And since I'm one of those crazy people who get their tree out as soon as Starbucks throws theirs up [yes, in general my seasons and timeframes are in sync with Starbucks], a real tree would simply not last until Christmas.  So I have a small 4' artificial tree that I purchased for a steal a few years ago at a big box store but have looking for more modern and environmentally responsible options.

The Green Tree from Buro North - love the organic shape and the fact that all the pieces are exactly the same.



The "Christmas Tree" by Manuela Michalski



The possibiliTree - stores easily and love the wood.


And my favourite: the Modern Tannenbaum from silvercocoon design.  I will likely be getting one of these for next season, unless I manage to DIY one up shortly.

    Could you make a DIY one out of rulers or dowels? It wouldn't be exactly the same, but it would be very easy to cut them into different lengths!

    My mother would say that the environmentally sound approach would be to never replace the plastic one, now that it exists. but i guess passing it on to a new owner would be much the same.
