Best small realistic artificial Christmas trees for under £45

Mini artificial ‘tabletop’ Christmas trees are the perfect way to add interest to sideboards, mantels or windowsills, and they also make cute table centrepieces. Small artificial Christmas trees are also great if you are short on space and don’t want a large tree taking over your home, as well as being perfect as a secondary tree in another room.

For table centrepieces, 1.5ft is the perfect height; 2.5ft works well on a sideboard or mantel; and a 3ft tree will look lovely raised on a side table in the corner of a room.

I’ve rounded up five of the best small artificial Christmas trees for sale this winter, all reasonably priced at £40 and under, with realistic looking branches.


The White Company Pre Lit Christmas Tree 1.5ft: £35

White Company 1.5ft Pre-Lit Tree

At 1.5ft tall, this super cute dinky little tree from The White Company would make the perfect Christmas table centrepiece. It comes complete with a woven wicker basket and lights, and would look lovely on its own without any decorations, for a simple Scandi Christmas vibe.


Dunelm 3ft Abies Christmas Tree in Burlap Base: £40

Dunelm 3ft Abies Christmas Tree

You’d be hard pushed to know this wasn’t a real tree, given how ultra realistic the branches look on this 3ft tree from Dunelm. Complete with a burlap wrapped based, it would look great popped on a reclaimed rustic stool to add some Christmas charm to a corner of a room.


Dobbies Grandis Mini Tree 90cm (3ft): £34.30

Dobbies Grandis Mini Tree

Another ultra-realistic looking artificial Christmas tree, so good does this look that I had to check for certain whether this wasn’t a real tree for sale at the garden centre! At 90cm tall (3ft) it would look great as a secondary tree. Pop it in a small concrete pot to add to the illusion of it being real.


Lights4fun 55cm (2ft) Fir Mini Christmas Tree: £28.99

Lights4fun Fir Mini Christmas Tree

Standing at 2ft, this mini tree from Lights4fun is great for styling on sideboards or windowsills, with its burlap wrapped based and red and white checked bow lending a festive farmhouse feel. Add some little micro lights for a pretty Christmas sparkle.


B&Q 3ft (90cm) Premier Potted Hinged Christmas Tree: £36.75

Glenshee Spruce Christmas Tree

This real look Christmas tree (sold and shipped by Cheaper Online Ltd via B&Q) has a mixture of PE and PVC branches, giving it the look of a real tree. This easy to assemble hinged tree means all you need to do is fluff the branches and you’re ready to decorate.
