The Mini Lit Christmas Tree

What this mini tree is

The Mini Lit Christmas Tree is a small artificial tree built for tabletops, desks, mantels and entryway consoles. The branches are plastic, shaped to a full evergreen look, and they sit on a metal stand that keeps the tree upright on a flat surface. Warm white LED lights come pre-strung through the branches, so the tree is ready to glow as soon as you set it out.

Each tree also comes with a star topper, red bows and an ornament set. That means you can dress the tree your own way, or leave a few pieces off for a simpler look. The whole tree weighs 0.84 lb (0.38 kg), so it is easy to lift from shelf to shelf or move to another room when the season shifts.

Sizes

Two heights are available. Both use the same materials, lights and included pieces.

The 20 in (50 cm) tree suits narrow spots like a desk corner, a bathroom vanity or a small side table. The 24 in (60 cm) tree fills a console, a dining table centerpiece or a fireplace mantel with a bit more presence. If you are unsure, measure the surface first and leave room for the star topper and the spread of the branches.

Lights and included pieces

The tree arrives pre-strung with warm white LED lights. The lights run through the branches, so you do not have to wrap them yourself. Warm white reads soft and cozy next to lamp light, which makes this tree a good fit for a living room, a bedroom or an office desk.

The star topper sits at the top of the tree. Red bows and an ornament set are included as well. You can hang the bows and ornaments across the branches, then finish with the star. Because the pieces come with the tree, you can set the whole look in one pass without hunting for extra decor.

Where to use it

This is a small tree, so think of it as a tabletop piece rather than a floor tree. Good spots include:

• A desk or home office shelf
• A dining table centerpiece
• A kitchen counter or bar cart
• A bathroom vanity
• A mantel or entryway console
• A guest room or dorm room

You can also group two trees of the same size on a long table, or pair a 20 in (50 cm) tree with a 24 in (60 cm) tree for a stepped display. Keep the metal stand on a level surface and away from spots where it could be knocked over. The plastic branches and metal stand are made for indoor use.

Setup and care

Unbox the tree and set the metal stand on a flat, stable surface. Spread the branches outward from the center so the tree looks full, then adjust the lights and hang the red bows and ornaments. Place the star topper last. If you store the tree between seasons, keep the star, bows and ornaments in a bag with it so the set stays together.

For cleaning, dust the branches with a soft cloth or a light brush. Do not soak the tree or the lights in water. If a branch bends out of shape, gently guide it back into place by hand. Store the tree in a cool, dry spot when the season ends.
