A full, soft-needled pine wreath that goes up in seconds, comes down undamaged, and does the same job next December without shedding on the hall carpet.
A real wreath looks wonderful for about nine days. Then it drops needles down the door, dries to brown at the edges, and goes in the brown bin on Twelfth Night. This one is artificial pine on a plastic frame, 45 cm across, and it comes out of the loft looking the same every year.
It is deliberately plain. No baubles glued on, no tartan bow, no fake berries in a colour that fights your front door. That matters more than it sounds: a plain pine base takes whatever you want to add — ribbon in your own colour, cones, dried orange, battery lights — and it works just as well left exactly as it is.
The branches bend. Wreaths arrive compressed from being boxed. Spend a minute pulling the tips outwards and downwards and a flat ring becomes a full, deep wreath — this is the single thing that separates one that looks expensive from one that does not.

The front door – under a porch or sheltered overhang, which keeps it out of driving rain.
Above the fireplace – on the chimney breast, or leaning on the mantelpiece.
As a table centrepiece – laid flat with a candle or a hurricane lamp in the middle.
A window or a mirror – hung on ribbon so it shows from inside and out.
Shops, offices and classrooms – nothing to water, nothing to drop, goes up on the first of December and stays put.
1 x artificial pine Christmas wreath, 45 cm, green
No lights, ribbon, bow, baubles, hook or hanger are included. The doors, candles, gifts and furniture in the photographs are not part of the order.
Every artificial wreath is compressed in the box and looks sparse when you open it. That is packing, not a fault. Bend the branches outwards and downwards for a minute or two and it fills out. Judge it after shaping, not before.
How big is it?
45 cm across, which is 17.7 inches. That figure is the manufacturer's, shown on their own dimensioned photograph.
Does it come with lights?
No. It is a plain pine wreath with no lights fitted and none supplied.
Is it decorated?
No, and that is deliberate. You add your own ribbon and trimmings, or hang it plain.
Can it go outside?
On a sheltered door or porch, yes. It is not built to survive a winter of driving rain.
Why does it look thin in the box?
It is compressed for shipping. Shape the branches out and it fills.
Will it last more than one year?
Stored dry and out of sunlight, artificial foliage is reused for years. That is the point of it.
