Christmas surprise! Buy a gorgeous faux tree and get a free Echo Dot and smart plug
Of course, you need a Christmas tree. And you need to buy presents. So why not get a gift for free when you buy a beautiful Christmas? Amazon still has tons of faux and pre-lit trees that will arrive before the big day, and some of them even come with a FREE Amazon Smart Plug + Echo Dot (3rd Gen). How's that for a perfect holiday pairing? You can even pick up some coordinating garland for your mantle. But you don't have any time to waste!
The tree
"Stunner!" exclaims a verified shopper who gave the tree a five-star rating. "Honestly, I cannot say enough positive things about this tree! It’s quite sturdy (the base and hinged branches) and easy enough for 2 people to set up and fluff in 1 1/2 hours ... It is very full, wider than I expected, and you cannot see the inside trunk or branches. It looks so real."
"Very nice tree," shared a merry shopper. "It was very easy to setup. No fluff needed like other brand trees in market. The leaves look real and the tree is full once you setup. Very useful for people who look for easy setup artificial Christmas tree."
Buyers are raving about this Dunhill Fir: "It’s a win! It’s a gorgeous tree and it looks like it costs a lot more than it did. I read in these reviews to spend time fluffing it, so I did that—it took about thirty minutes or so to fluff it properly, but sure enough, it looked great after fluffing. It’s also really simple to put together and seems very sturdy."
One shopper offers a raving review: "It’s honestly the best faux tree in the world. Words don’t describe how much joy this tree brings to me each year. She is big so you need to be willing to sacrifice a good amount of floor space but it is so worth it. The lights are a gorgeous LED that really glows... The branches look SO real and make hanging ornaments so much more pleasant than old-school faux pine branches that poke you and shed all over the place."
Says a fan, "I want to do designer trees. I think of a white tree as my canvas, and it needs to be a true white. This one wins!!"
The garland
This happy reviewer gives us the skinny, "This garland is absolutely beautiful!! It is very full and lush. It's a deep green so it doesn't look fake or cheap. The pine cones are beautifully flocked... The glitter just adds to its beauty... I love that once you put it on, it automatically shuts off on its own after 6 hours. It was a great purchase. If I had another fireplace I would buy another one."
'Incredible quality," says one of nearly 6,000 5-star reviews. "I ordered 2 for atop my kitchen cabinets Just beautiful! Substantial enough to not get lost above the cabinets. Rich-looking berries and pinecones, well placed and plentiful. The light gave a soft, warm glow."
