I apologise in advance for mentioning the C word – but Christmas really is approaching fast! It’s November already, and with 4 children of my own to buy for, plus family and friends, a Christmas meal to plan, decorations to organise and the small matter of a house move between now and then – I am trying to get on top of Christmas now!
One of the things that really makes a home feel festive is a Christmas tree. I have to admit that for the last few years we have always had an artificial tree, but growing up the smell of a real pine tree always filled the family home, and I am very tempted to get a real tree this year. Pines and Needles have a Christmas tree delivery service of really beautiful trees. They are much fuller and greener than those you see in your local garden centre or market, and they are no-drop too, which is a huge bonus, especially if you have little children or pets.
They also offer fantastic customer service – they guarantee that you will receive a fresh tree and if you are not completely satisfied simply let them know on the day and they will replace it. Every Pines and Needles tree is delivered as fresh as it can be with new stock being added every seven days and each tree hand picked for the customer. If you’re short of time you can even choose a decorated tree – your Christmas tree will arrive with your choice of lights and decorations and the delivery team will set everything up for you, and can even remove and recycle your tree after the festive season for you – how’s that for service?!
I have never come across quite such a comprehensive service and range. There is something for all households and all budgets, from mini trees and wreaths to 12ft trees – and if you live in the Inner London zone, you can even opt for kilted delivery drivers to visit you. I almost wish I lived in Inner London right now…
I have teamed up with Pines and Needles to give away a beautiful 6ft Christmas tree with water holding stand to one lucky reader. If you would like your very own real Christmas tree delivered to your door this year, simply enter on the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!

Reds, golds, silvers, blue – all muti-colours!
Before I had DS, my tree was immaculate and would be duck egg blues and silvers to match the room’s colour scheme. I would have matching baubles, no tinsel and clear lights.
Now my tree is multi coloured with years of handmade decorations from me and DS with multi-coloured lights – everything I would of hated before children!
Somehow, having children changes you and what was once important is just very unimportant now! 🙂
I like to do a different colour every year

red black and gold s
It varies every year last year we had black and silver, this year I think we’ll be going for gold and red
It varies each year in our house as I am always changing my mind! We’ve had everything from the traditional red, green & gold to white & silver, purples and the past couple of years we have had some lovely glittery bronze, gold and pewter decorations so might go for the same again. Can’t decide!
Silver and purple ~

I don’t have a colour scheme I just use the decorations we have accumulated over the years
We just put any colour lights on ours nothing special
