Frequently asked questions
What size Christmas tree should I buy?
Measure your ceiling height and floor space — leave room for the topper. A 1.8m tree suits most living rooms; smaller for apartments.
How many lights do I need for my tree?
A common guide is about 100 lights per 60cm (2ft) of tree height — more for a fuller, brighter look.
Are LED Christmas lights better?
Yes — they use less power, run cool and last longer than traditional bulbs, making them safer and cheaper to run.
How do I store decorations so they last?
Box the tree by section, coil lights loosely, and keep ornaments in dividers in a dry place so they're ready next year.
When should I buy Christmas decorations?
Buy early in the season — festive stock is popular and sells out; ordering ahead secures your tree, lights and theme.
