A Topper for Every Style (and Budget!)
Whether your aesthetic leans toward rustic farmhouse, glitzy glam, or something completely whimsical, there’s a unique tree topper out there with your name on it. And the best part? You can find stunning options for every budget.
Charming & Affordable:
Sometimes the simplest treasures hold the most charm. Craft fairs, online marketplaces like Etsy, and even your local thrift store can be treasure troves of unique, budget-friendly toppers. Think handcrafted wooden stars, delicate paper snowflakes, or a whimsical felt reindeer. Feeling crafty? A DIY project using repurposed materials like ribbons or vintage ornaments can result in a truly one-of-a-kind creation.
Mid-Range Magic:
Ready to add a touch more sparkle? Mid-range toppers offer a dazzling array of possibilities. Picture a shimmering glass angel, a starburst of glittering crystals (like the Kurt Adler Silver Glittered Snowflake at Macy’s for $28.00 or the LED Lighted Glittered Starburst at Bed Bath & Beyond for $43.49), or a beautifully detailed snowflake adorned with beads and sequins. These options add elegance and durability without breaking the bank. Consider the Northlight 11″ White Frosted Bethlehem Star, a steal at $47.20 (originally $118.00) at Belk.
Heirloom Treasures:
For a truly luxurious touch, consider a high-end topper destined to become a cherished family heirloom. Handcrafted porcelain angels, intricately carved wooden figures, or toppers crafted with precious metals and gemstones offer timeless elegance. While these may be an investment (like the 25″ Mixed Metallic Magnolia Bouquet from Balsam Hill, currently on sale for $69.00), their enduring beauty and quality will grace your tree for generations to come.
Choosing Your Tree’s Crowning Jewel
With so many enchanting options, selecting the perfect tree topper can feel a bit overwhelming. Here’s a guide to help you choose the one that will make your tree truly sparkle:
- Tree Size: A large, elaborate topper might overpower a small tree, while a delicate topper could get lost on a towering giant. Ensure the scale feels balanced and harmonious.
- Decor Style: Consider your overall Christmas décor theme. Is it rustic and cozy? Modern and minimalist? Traditional and elegant? Your tree topper should complement the rest of your decorations.
- Personal Touch: Most importantly, choose a topper that speaks to you. It should be something that sparks joy and captures the spirit of the holidays in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
