Living Christmas tree, $70 from ecochristmastrees.com.au
Last year I made my Christmas tree out of a washing machine box. It was spectacularly unimpressive but I thought I was doing a good thing by recycling and not ripping a poor tree out of the ground. If you want to know how to make a washing machine box tree I’m happy to give you my plans, if not you can always rent one of these lovely potted ones. They’ll even drop it off to your house.
