Debenhams shoppers race to buy 'luxury' snow-topped £140 Christmas trees reduced to £65

While some will always swear by a real tree at Christmas time, if you’re keen to have a hypoallergenic, less messy, and long-lasting tree that will see out many a year, an artificial one is the way to go.

Over at Debenhams, you can currently snap up an artificial 7ft Flocked Snow Effect Spruce Fir Tree for just £64.94 down from £139.99 — that’s a massive saving of 51%. Consider it a multi-Christmas investment that will look great for years to come.

Laden with 1000 tips on hinged branches, this tree promises a “realistic and full look”, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and offers easy storage in its box ready for next year. The snow effect ensures a wintery vibe in any room, and naturally it’s also a blank canvas for your lights and decorations. It’s sturdy and comes with a firm base, so you can be confident it will be safe around the little ones — and that it can survive an intrepid, climbing cat without tumbling over.

Reviews are limited on this new product, but Debenhams itself has a 3.3/5 average rating on TrustPilot after more than 15,000 reviews. Particular praise is given to the customer service team.

“Fantastic online shop! Probably my favourite in the UK,” said one five-star review. “So many options including quick 1-2 day delivery. I have had a few faulty items received but as long as I provide photographs as evidence it's always resolved.”

“Had a problem with a product and needed to contact customer services. Faultless service, all sorted within the day,” said another happy customer. “Have shopped online many times and would recommend.”

A third agreed: "Debenhams is great value with quality products. I used to always shop here for my Christmas pressies so was very disappointed when the stores closed but am glad I can still shop online."

The occasional issue has been raised, however: “I feel that some outside concessions take a bit excessive time with your refunds which is really off-putting.” This refers to the ongoing concessions-based range that Debenhams stocks, with many different brands operating through its website in a similar fashion to their physical stores of yesteryear.

Another less-positive review said: “Having used Debenhams for several years I am now fed up with receiving dozens of emails advertising their goods for sale.” It’s worth noting that you can easily opt-out of email marketing by clicking ‘unsubscribe’ at the bottom of any marketing email. That said, be sure to verify the sender before clicking any email links.

If you’re interested in alternatives, this pre-lit tree at The Range is a great option at £149.99. Once the living room is covered, next up is the front lawn or garden — perhaps this lit-up dachshund at Wowcher can provide the finishing touch at £20.99.

For a luscious-looking tree that will spare you a few headaches each Christmas, thanks to its easy setup and tidy-up, grab the artificial Spruce Fir Tree at Debenhams while it’s on sale at 51% off.
