Very natural-looking

This is the reason why you should never buy Christmas trees that come in a box. It’s much better to see the tree you’re picking out and get the feel of it. Otherwise, you might end up with a lame tree that barely has enough branches for the decorations. It doesn’t even look strong enough to hold the ceramic ornaments.

Buying a boxed plastic tree might be the cheaper and easier option, but keep in mind it won’t look as promised. If there’s one lesson we’ve learned from all these shopping blunders – things aren’t as they seem on the box. Whether it’s Easter chocolate, Christmas trees, or Halloween costumes – chances are it won’t look as it does on the box.
