Christmas season started early at our home this year!
This is the earliest we have set up our Christmas tree in November, all thanks to Mason Home Decor.

Previously we had to spend time at various shops looking for the right-sized Christmas tree with suitable tree trimmings and decoration. I liked it that Mason Home Decor has everything covered under one roof/website. And most importantly their stuff are not cheesy, run-of-the-mill or sub-standard quality. The concern that shoppers have about online shopping is, the actual product differs drastically from the photos. Honestly, I had my reservations initially. But the unedited videos on some of their products helped to rest any unease.

I made my choices based on the following 3 steps:
1) Budget: How much is your budget? Mason Home Decor’s Christmas products aren’t the cheapest in town. But their quality is definitely above average and reasonably priced for their quality. I was pleasantly surprised that they came nicely packed and unboxing them felt almost like unboxing presents!
 |
| Palline Baubles – There is a mix of 3 surfaces – glossy, matte and glittery – in each package of 24 baubles. |
 |
| Shimario Baubles – Gold. I like the dancing glitters in the semi see-through baubles. |
 |
| Reindeer Baubles – Bronze. Elegant and tall. |
 |
| Perla Baubles. I really loved its’ glossy Tiffany-blue tone. |
 |
Snow Flake Bauble – the whites to introduce “snow”.  |
 |
| Berry Tree Picks with (real) Mini Pine Cones decorated on our TV console. |
2) Size: We have very limited space at our current place as most new apartments are these day. The Altaeco (Slim Christmas Tree) – Artificial Colorado Pine Christmas Tree – caught my eyes immediately. It is slim and yet dense with easy-open branches. It fitted our requirement for small spaces.

| Boys getting ready for unboxing and setting up the slim tree just next to the TV console. You can see it’s a really narrow place we have. |
 |
| Opening up the branches and leaves. |
 |
| Good quality and dense leaves. |
3) Look and feel/Theme: If I have many houses, I will like to have a different colored-themed for each Christmas tree! Since I can have only 1 house & 1 tree, I choose my favourite Christmas tree colors – gold, silver, white and a little blue. I love the icy-cold look since we can only have sunny (or rainy) Christmases in Singapore.

Hanging up the final decor piece – the star – a job which only the head of the household is privileged to do. Well, he’s the only one who doesn’t need a chair for that job.  |

Our new Christmas Tree is up!  Night view. |

The verdict:
We managed to squeeze the Altaeco Christmas Tree right in front of our TV console. We had such a fun time un-boxing the packages and setting up the tree with it’s trimmings together as a family. A short video of it here on Instagram.

| Alpi – Premium Metal Star Tree-Topper – Medium in Gold. |
We are very happy with the quality of the Mason Home Decor’s tree, it’s close-to-nature shade of green color and thick density of the branches/leaves. The Christmas Ornaments and Baubles are of solid quality and boost of unique designs. It is a far cry from the cheap ones I have sourced on other websites before. Well, you do have to pay for quality.
If you are pressed for time, shopping for your tree online will be a time-saver for you. However, if you are the must-touch-and-feel-before-you-buy type, Mason Home Decor has a physical shop which is open daily.
Do shop early to avoid the peak Christmas shopping season!
