Christmas is just under three months away, but the holiday shopping season is already at hand.

Sure, having a real Christmas trees may smell great, but remember the struggle of hauling a huge tree to your car, putting it up at home, maintaining the tree to keep it alive (watering a Christmas tree can be a real pain) and then disposing it once the holidays are over.

That’s where the convenience of a faux-fir Christmas tree comes in, and they’ve only gotten more realistic looking over the years. The National Tree Company makes trees so high-quality that you could pass it down to your grandkids. Certainly beats buying an expensive tree every year.

The trees also come ready with festive lights (or without if you rather wrestle with Christmas lights yourself) so all you need to do is plug the tree into an outlet and then boom: Merry Christmas!

If you want to get ahead of the holiday craziness while saving some extra cash for holiday shopping, this tree is a great deal.

“I spent a fair amount of time, over several weeks, researching artificial trees online. For the price point, this tree checked all of my buttons and exceeded expectations,” one reviewer wrote. “I hesitate and rarely write product reviews…this particular tree has earned my unreserved recommendation. It reminds me of the real Douglas Firs we had during my growing up years on the East coast.”
