Our Bents dupe worked out hundreds of pounds cheaper than the garden centre tree
It's officially December and for many people, this weekend will involve decorating their Christmas tree. Whether you go for an artificial one, or a real one, the arrival of the tree marks the official start of the festive season.
First things first and I had to price up the garden centre display. The tree alone - a 7.5ft pre-lit Snowy Dorchester Pine - was £429.99, but has since been reduced to £343.99. I was sure I'd be able to do something pretty similar at B&M for much less. The tree most similar to the Bents one is B&M's pre-lit Canterbury Christmas Tree, priced at £200.
Despite that, I'm not convinced the quality looks any different and I was surprised by how stunning and expensive the B&M tree appeared once covered in the decorations. Some 'Nordic ice' decorations - large clip-on flowers, feather baubles with glitter tips and feather topped baubles, from £2.50 each - provided the frosty feel, with silver leaves, hearts and even a jewel-covered locket that opens adding that sparkling touch.
