Not every home has a corner to spare for a full-width Christmas tree. The Frosted Woodland Pencil Slim Spruce gives you the full 7ft of height with a genuinely narrow footprint, so it slots neatly into a hallway, a bay window or the corner of a busy sitting room without crowding the furniture.

The tips are finished with a soft frosting, giving the spruce a just-been-snowed-on look that catches the light beautifully. It arrives pre-lit with 180 warm white 5mm LEDs woven right through the branches rather than draped over the surface, so the glow comes from deep within the tree — no wrestling with tangled lights before you've even started decorating. Eight light functions let you set the mood, from a still, steady warm white to a gentle twinkle or slow fade.

The slim profile also means it needs fewer baubles to look properly dressed, which is no bad thing when you're building up a collection. Frosted branches sit especially well with silver, pewter and clear glass, though deep reds and tartan look just as good against the frosting.

• 7ft (approx. 2.1m) height with a slim, space-saving profile
• 180 warm white 5mm LEDs, pre-lit throughout
• 8 light functions, including steady-on
• Frosted, snow-tipped spruce foliage
• 5 year warranty
• Supplied in a sturdy storage box, so it packs away safely year after year
• UK & Ireland delivery in 3–5 working days

A good tree should be an investment rather than an annual purchase. Between the five year warranty and the proper storage box, this one is built to come back out every December for a long time to come.
