It has been a busy time here at Scottish Christmas Trees. Our trees have literally flown out the door and the result is that all we have left are a few Norway Spruce Christmas trees. We started out with a stock of Christmas trees as seen in this image – you don’t want to see [...]
It’s about this time of year that Christmas lights start to create problems – at least, those that are more than a year old and have been stored gathering dust somewhere. There are a number of reasons why Christmas lights fail but they generally boil down to two problems:
Light Bulbs – in older string lights, [...]
If you pay a visit to our web site, one of the first things you may notice are the red banners popping up everywhere – Out of stock! is their announcement. However, it’s still not too late to give a green Christmas gift this year. We still have a number of Christmas wreaths left and [...]
One of the joys of Christmas is to take the family, especially the younger children, and to take a tour of the Christmas lights in your area. You can just visit the Christmas lights in the main street, or you can drive around your own area – either way, I am sure the children will be [...]

Our potted Christmas trees have been very popular this year to the point we only have Norway Spruce trees left. In fact, at the time of writing this post, we only have the one size left, the 90cm-110cm ( 2ft11ins-3ft7ins), a size that is perfect in small areas.

Some people decorate the outside of their homes, others decorate outdoor living areas and, of course, there is the traditional decorating of the tree using Christmas lights. One other use is to decorate your windows – particularly the front window. Short of using nails in the window frames, [...]
Once Christmas passes us by and we recover from all the festivities, someone has the job of cleaning up. It’s hard enough cleaning up all the left over food and the Christmas wrapping paper, but what about that tree? The glamour has gone now; it just looks like hard work. It doesn’t have to be.
