If you’re putting up your real Christmas tree at the start of December, then there is one important thing you must not forget - a tree stand! And I’ve found one that has a built-in water well that will keep your tree hydrated throughout the whole festive period - the Krinner Green Metal & plastic Foot pump Christmas tree stand (£44 at B&Q).
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the most exciting or glamorous piece of festive decor, but a tree stand is an essential one if you’ve decided to opt for a real tree over one of the best artificial Christmas trees.
