Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

Where To Find The Best Artificial Christmas Trees

If you know me, then you know I am completely Christmas obsessed and I have to have at least one kind of Christmas tree in every room of my house! So I figured today I would share with you all where to find some of the best artificial Christmas trees.

Especially since it is already early November and it is time to start planning your Christmas decor! If you’re in need of a new tree this year, see some of my favorite options below!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Where To Buy The Best Artificial Christmas Trees
Pin For Later!

Target’s Wonderland Christmas Trees

It’s no surprise that Target has made my list of where to find the best artificial Christmas trees! I think that Target has some great options for a low price.

And if you’re trying to stick to a budget this year, Target may be the place to check out first. For example, this pre-lit 7 foot tree below is only $96, which is an incredible deal for that size!

They also have some really cool and unique tree options as well. So if you’re looking for something non traditional, they have you covered too!

I absolutely love the shape of this one below, it’s so unique and different!

I’m also a sucker for flocked trees. Most of the trees I have in my home are flocked so I of course had to include some flocked favorites from target below too!

Target also has a great selection of smaller and table top trees as well. If you’re looking for a tiny tree for a kids room, or another area of your home, these would be some great options to consider.

Michael’s Stores Christmas Trees

Another place I love to shop for Christmas trees at is Michael’s stores. They usually have a great selection and most of the time you can find them on a great sale.

I believe that they tend to do a killer 50% off sale around Black Friday too, so hopefully that tradition will continue this year as well.

I usually get my pencil trees from Michael’s and I have several already, but I am looking to add in a few new ones. Especially since I now have a guest bedroom to decorate for Christmas too!

I will share a couple that caught my eye below.

I also love how they have many brightly colored ones to choose from this year as well. I mean how fun would that little pink tree be in a little girls room?!

I remember I had a pink tree growing up in my bedroom and it was one of my most favorite trees!

King Of Christmas Trees

Now, if you really want a high end Christmas tree, then I definitely recommend King Of Christmas Trees. I personally have one of these trees, and I am so obsessed with the quality and beauty of that tree!

These trees are a little more pricey than the above options, but you honestly get what you pay for. I believe these trees are way more fuller and more realistic like than some others I’ve seen.

This would definitely be more of an investment piece if you chose one of these trees, but it would really be worth it year after year!

This is the one I have below and I place it in my office every year. You can see more about my review of it in my King of Christmas Tree post that I did last year.

But it definitely does not disappoint and it is one of my most favorite trees!

King of Christmas has a lot of different varieties of artificial trees to choose from, and they are all so lifelike and real!

I am definitely impressed with this company and they ship fast for free in the USA as well!

King Of Christmas Garlands and Wreaths

King of Christmas also offers some beautiful garland and wreath options as well. I have one of their unlit garlands and I hang it above our bed every year.

It gives our bedroom just the right amount of Christmas flair!

You can see more about that garland in my Christmas Bedroom post from last year. I chose to get an unlit garland, and you can see the one I have below.

I mainly got unlit because I already have two pencil trees up in our bedroom and I figured that would be too much with a lit garland too!

But they do also offer several options in their wreaths and garlands as well. Such as lit or unlit and flocked or not.

I feel like you definitely get more options when you order from this company as well.

The Home Depot

So I can’t believe I have never thought to get a tree from The Home Depot before, but we got one this year!

And let me tell y’all, I am in love with it! It is so pretty and I love how it has the option to switch from the warm white color to multi color.

It also has several light options where you can make them twinkle or slow fade as well. It was also super easy to “fluff” it. You basically just pulled down a branch and it all fell into place for you!

This very well be my favorite artificial Christmas tree we have in our home this year!

I love the flocked look to it and I think it looks perfect in my woven tree collar that I got from Target too.

This also comes in the wooden option or the black option as well. It is a part of their Hearth and Hand collection and I will link it below.

Conclusion

Well I hope this gave you somewhat of an idea of where to search for Christmas trees this year if you’re in the market.

I’m not an expert, but I do have roughly 7 trees up at our house of varying sizes so I can say I do have a little experience with artificial trees lol Do you guys prefer artificial or real trees?

I love real trees for the smell of them, but prefer artificial trees because you can leave them up longer and reuse them every year. Let me know your thoughts below!

    I purchased an artificial tree after getting married a few years ago. I grew up with real trees – but I knew that artificial ones would mean a one-time investment for many years of tree use, which seemed more financially savvy. I wish I had looked at more places first, but we did get a pretty good deal in the end. I’d love one day to have a King of Christmas tree in my home (I want to have multiple trees in the future haha)!

    There are so many great places to pick up Christmas trees to match your style. I love that we’re seeing more variety with trees in different colours and themes – giving everyone the chance to create that perfect tree to match their home. We actually scored our last tree secondhand. The person that was selling it didn’t want to take the time to find the bulb that was out, so they sold the tree and a pack of spare bulbs for a fraction of the cost of a new tree – but it was still in like-new condition! Sure, it took me a bit to hunt that bulb down, but it was worth it lol

🍂 THE BEST THANKSGIVING HOSTING HACK: BAKE YOUR DE 🍂 THE BEST THANKSGIVING HOSTING HACK: BAKE YOUR DESSERTS AHEAD AND FREEZE THEM! 🥧❄️

Want to enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving instead of spending the entire day in the kitchen? One of my favorite holiday meal prep tips is to bake my Thanksgiving desserts ahead of time and freeze them until I need them!

This make-ahead dessert hack is perfect for busy holiday hosting. You can prepare your favorite Thanksgiving desserts, pecan pie bars, pies, and other holiday treats days or even weeks in advance. Then, when Thanksgiving arrives, your desserts are already done—leaving you more time to enjoy your guests!

Simply bake your desserts, let them cool completely, wrap them well, and store them in the freezer. Thaw them before serving, and they’ll be ready for your Thanksgiving dessert table! 🙌🏻

These pecan pie bars are one of my favorite make-ahead Thanksgiving desserts, and they’re so easy and delicious!

Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to be prepared! And maybe you’re not crazy like me and have multiple Christmas trees throughout your house 🤣 but if you do… you NEED these smart plugs for your Christmas tree lights!

These are seriously one of my favorite Christmas decorating hacks because I can turn all my Christmas trees on and off right from my phone with the tap of a button. 🙌🏼

Even better, you can set your smart plugs on a schedule so your Christmas lights automatically turn on and off at certain times every day! No crawling behind the tree, reaching around presents, or trying to find that one impossible-to-reach plug. 😂🎄

If you love decorating your home for Christmas, this is one holiday must-have that makes the entire season SO much easier!

Are you a one Christmas tree household… or are you crazy like me and have multiple?! 🤣🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
