Challenged for space? Behind schedule and need a quick fix? Or you just don’t want to bother putting up a full-size Christmas tree? Here’s a roundup of alternatives that are decor worthy and achievable with minimal toil and trouble…

(above) A natural alternative to a live or artificial Christmas tree, this 2-foot birch is designed by an architect and made in Minnesota, ($160) @ possibiliTree.com.

(above) Add a warm glow with a Woodland Candelabra tree. This one is made of iron and has a bronze finish, measures 15 inches wide by 32 inches high.  Perfect for a sideboard or cocktail table; ($69.95) @ crate & barrel.

(photo credit above, MacKenzie-Childs) Taking over-the-top decadence to new heights is the Grand Shard Tree which stands nine feet tall at Mackenzie-Childs and goes for 50,000 bucks. Hand made of ceramic and pottery “shards,” it’s topped with a teapot finial. There’s also a tabletop version available for a mere ($750). Needless to say, neither of these is my cup of tea. MacK-Childs also offers felt tabletop Christmas trees in either white or evergreen in small or large for under $100 – they’re more my speed.

(above) Clean and modern elegance – the Scalloped Tree from West Elm, these Seagrass Trees range from $39-$79, depending on size.

This reusable tree pictured above may be my favorite. Created by Lovi, it’s made in Finland from sustainably harvested FSC-certified birch wood, and it comes with good karma – the manufacturer plants one new tree for each small tree sold. (66 EUR) @ matteriashop.com

If I start pining for real pine, I’ll just admire my fresh wreath and boughs.

What are your plans? Feel free to send us a snap of your Christmas tree, and we’ll show it off.
