Christmas trees, rent one ..
I have just seen an item on the local TV about Primrose Vale Farm in Gloucestershire who rent out Christmas trees in tubs .You can have the same tree every year if you wish and renting can costs less that buying one .
I don't have a tree but think it is a fantastic idea

apparently not because they are grown in containers.One woman had given hers a name and had the same one for a number of years .
You return the trees by 12 night and they go in a special nursery area where they are cared for until the next year .

But seriously what a fab idea, so much more environmentally friendly, BUT it might put the tree farmers out of business... but not if everyone with a fake tree did this...
