Top 5 Places to Find a Miniature Christmas Tree

Miniature Christmas trees can be used for many reasons. You may want one for your dinner table centerpiece. You may not have space for a huge 9-foot Christmas tree. Or you may want to send a miniature Christmas tree to a loved one who cannot be with the family this season. Whatever reason you may have, these are the top 5 places where you can get a miniature Christmas tree this year.

Your Local Nursery

A great resource for miniature trees would be your local nursery. They usually have a great selection of live mini Christmas trees that are fresh and potted. And depending on your location you can probably find the best deals here, too. I live near a local nursery in Dallas, Texas and they have 24" potted miniature trees for $19.99-$39.99.

Home Depot (or your local hardware/home improvement store) Home Depot has a great selection of Christmas trees including live miniature ones. If you're looking for an all-in-one mini Christmas tree, Home Depot has a 25-inch mini "Decorate Your Own" Christmas Tree with Miniature Light Set and Ornaments (Model #T8864). The base is wrapped in a burlap sack and a set of 32 lights and miniature ornaments are included. The light set plugs directly into a standard household outlet. These mini Christmas trees are $39.99 each. This would be a great gift for everyone this season. Home Depot also offers other varieties of live trees that come already decorated. Prices go up to $89.99.

Crate and Barrel (or your local home décor store) Crate and Barrel has been a standard in house decor quality and style. For the traditional and classic styles, Crate and Barrel offers an artificial 36" Pine Tree for $59.95. Another option is Crate and Barrel's Leaf Topiary Tree for $34.95. This miniature Christmas tree option is composed of Indian almond, pinecones, kuliberry and peapod leaves. Crate and Barrel boasts a wide selection of decorative artificial trees that would bring holiday cheer to any home.

Target

Everyone loves a shopping trip to Target because you can always find what you need at budget prices especially for Christmas. If you're looking for a miniature Christmas tree, Target has some spectacular finds as well. A popular buy this holiday season is their multi-colored 32" Fiber Optic Glitter Berry Tree for $29.99. Or you can add a Festive Touch with their PVC Christmas Tree. This item features a lighted design and is meant for tabletop decoration. There is also a fiber optic Christmas Tree that stands 32" and is in a natural green Christmas tree shape. It's goes for $19.99. And another charming option is the "Charlie Brown Lonely Christmas Tree" straight from the holiday classic. This plastic tree is a replica of the one Charlie Brown took pride in in the classic animated favorite. And this mini Christmas tree will definitely become an instant classic in your family, too.

Craft Stores (Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge, etc.)

Craft stores are another great place to find miniature Christmas trees. Places like Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge are a one-stop shop for your holiday needs and they usually have deep discounts as well. Miniature trees range from 6" and up for 30% off regular prices. Their assortment comes in lighted or unlighted varieties.

A miniature Christmas tree is a great little way to spread the holiday cheer. Hopefully these hot spots will help you in the search for the perfect piece of the holidays.
