Bonfire night has been and gone, festive market season is upon us and now the John Lewis advert is out. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I have a rule in my house that no Christmas decorations shall even leave the loft until the 1st of December, but some people are already planning this year's layouts. And the centrepiece should always be a Christmas tree.
Christmas trees are the focal point of any festive display, and there's always at least one up in my house.
My wife and I have actually starting to shop around for a new one, because the six-footer that we have in our hallway is looking a bit dilapidated, and the prices can be quite shocking. We're just not paying over £100 for a fake Christmas tree. I could buy a chainsaw and chop one down myself for that.
Happily though, after some time spent trawling the online deals, I've found some really nice looking artificial trees for palatable prices. And some of these deals are so good, I might even get a second one.

Here's my round-up of the best six-foot artificial tree deals I can find.
Dunelm 6ft Essentials Christmas Tree - £22
This seems like such a bargain. £22 for a six-foot artificial tree with a stand included. You can't go wrong at that.
The reviews are really positive, with buyers pleased with its quality, although a few people did say it looks rather sparse. But that can be sorted with a few layers of tinsel and some lights I'd expect.
It's the cheapest six-foot tree I've found and it's in stock right now.
B&Q 6ft Woodland Pine Full Artificial Christmas tree - £24
This looks like a great tree for the money, and the people who bought one in previous years have been raving about it.
One reviewer, who gave it four stars, said: "Lovely tree for the money, easy to put together! Would recommend if you are looking for a nice tree with a small budget."
It comes with a stand and most stores will offer click and collect in just an hour.
Robert Dyas 6Ft Alberta Pine Christmas Tree - £24.99
There's a special offer on this beautiful tree, so be quick if you fancy it. It's normally £34.99, but it's got a £10 discount.
That suggests it should be a good quality tree, and the fact it has 550 tips does support that.
Oh, and I don't know what an Alberta Pine is either, or why it matters on a fake tree.

Yaheetech 6FT Hinged Spruce Christmas Tree £36.99
This one might be a bit pricier, but it looks amazing. It has an incredible 1,000 tips, which should mean it's one of the bushiest trees on this list.
It's on Amazon, so you could actually get this next day if you're a Prime member.
The reviews are really good, and it's also available in other sizes.
George 6ft Snowy Christmas Tree - £45
Some of us like a snowy Christmas tree, because they might suit a stylish room. But they tend to be a lot more expensive.
This one, by Asda's George brand, is the cheapest I can find, and it looks really nice. There are 600 tree tips and buyers have been raving about its value for money.
A few did mention the snow tends to shed a bit when it's new, so be ready with the vacuum for the first week or two.
Dunelm 6ft Blue Snowy Spruce Christmas Tree - £99
Is this the best Christmas tree you can buy? It's certainly one of the most expensive. The gorgeous blue spruce branches give that lovely snow sprinkle effect, and it just looks so full and bushy.
Buyers have given it rave reviews, suggesting it's easy to put up and the snow is very realistic.
One buyer did say it feels and smells unusual, but they still gave it three stars.
