Ever since you saw National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, you've avoided real trees for fear of all the festive calamities it caused for the Griswalds. But admit it, the sorry-looking piece of tarted up plastic in the corner just isn't the same.

If you're after the aroma of a real tree, but one that won't take over the room, grab a potted Christmas Douglas Fir or Pine tree from Needle Fresh for just $13 and celebrate Christmas in real style.

Needle Fresh are growers of Monterey Pines and Douglas Firs. They have approximately 25,000 trees, ranging from weeny seedlings to towering 10-foot tall pines. Every tree that is cut is replaced with a new seedling, which means this is a totally sustainable business that positively pumps oxygen into the atmosphere. Today’s offer is for potted pines, which means they come in a pot and ready to take pride of place in your home. All of Needle Fresh’s trees have been "handled" which means the bottom branches have been trimmed during growth to form the perfect shape.
