It's now less than 30 days to Santa (yay) and not to burden the other thread for general stuff or the forum with many smaller threads this thread is created to focus on: presents/cards/jumpers/trees/wreaths/caves and so on.. Btw, there is a dedicated Christmas forum here if you'd rather use that or need inspiration

Sure I might as well kick this off

I'm looking to get a Christmas tree for my apartment.
Ideally I would prefer a real tree, but if they are too expensive, I'll go with an artificial one. I've never bought a tree before, so I haven't a clue how much they (the real ones) are.

So where are the best places in Galway city to buy a tree?

Btw, I'm looking for a cheap wreath myself.
Doesn't have to be flash or anything, just something for work.
Cheap is key

Thanks lads.
Woodies DIY and B&Q both seem to have a decent range of artificial trees.
And Woodies have 20% off their artificial trees at the moment!

Does anyone have any links to prices for real trees?
And where in Galway city can you buy real trees? I presume both Woodies and B&Q have them? And there is usually a guy on Bridge Street who sells them.

Maybe chance checking Eason's?

They have a few tv mugs. I don't know if they have GOT though, I don't watch it so it wouldn't have stood out to me.

There's a stall at the Christmas Market and a little stand in the Galway Shopping Centre by Claire's Accessories selling decorations to personalise.

There is also a new place that has opened in the Liosban Ind. Estate. It's beside Mocha Beans. I've forgotten the name but it has Sewing/knitting/stitching gear for sale.
