If there's a corner in your house that's too small for a full tree and looks a bit sad without one, this is the answer. The Argos Home 3ft Gnome Christmas Tree with Santa Hat & Feet is £11.25 down from £15, and it's a little tree wearing a Santa hat with a pair of feet sticking out the bottom.
It's 3ft with 110 tips on fixed branches, and it stands on the plastic stand that comes in the box, so there's minimal assembly and nothing else to buy. It's pre-lit with 50 warm white lights and it has a timer, which means it comes on and goes off on its own rather than you remembering every night.
It takes 3 AA batteries, which aren't included, so pick some up while you're at it. It's for indoor use and it's not a toy, so it wants to sit out of reach of smaller hands, and the flat needles mean it's not dropping all over the floor.
For £11.25 it's the sort of thing that makes a hallway or a landing feel like Christmas without committing to a big tree, and at 3ft it'll go away in the loft easily in January.
Next day collection from an Argos store is free if you order before 2pm, home delivery is £3.95, and returns to store are free.
