Have You Heard of Half Christmas Trees?

We’re already well into October which means that it’s totally normal to start thinking about Christmas trees. After all, Hallmark’s already showing Christmas movies. It’s never too soon to start finding the perfect Christmas tree! But, having space for a Christmas tree isn’t always possible, especially when you live in a one-bedroom apartment. That’s where half Christmas trees come in. They save space and they don’t hide any ornaments in the back.

Half Christmas trees are artificial trees that come sliced in half down the middle, which makes them perfect for standing up against the wall or tucking them into small spaces. They’re designed with flat backs to rest against a wall, so even though they take up half the space, they look like they’re full-size.

While you can opt for a mini Christmas tree, these half-sized versions look more like traditional trees and the best part is that you only have to decorate one side. This means fewer decorations and less effort, which is a huge bonus if you tend to get stressed during the holiday season. Some of the trees even come with lights.

There are tons of places you can buy half Christmas trees including Hammacher Schlemmer which has 6.5-foot trees for $249.95 in two varieties, white lights and multicolor lights, Bed Bath & Beyond which has a 7-foot tree with white lights for $165.99, and Target which sells one with a stand for $69.99.
