Pair Mini Living Christmas Trees 25cm tall – Glitter & Snow was £19.99 now £9.99

At just 20-25cm tall, they are perfect for instant windowsills or table top displays, or perhaps for an easy to look after tree in children’s bedrooms.

Not only that, they are supplied ready to display in an attractive red ceramic pot, and complete with miniature decorations! Just unpack, and they are ready to go. The perfect living decoration – if kept watered indoors this Christmas, they can be planted outside, and will grow slowly over many years – the snow and glitter will of course wash off in the rain, but perhaps if planted in a bigger pot, can be brought inside each year and re-decorated.
