[SmartShop] Christmas Trees
Real ... fake ... its all the same to Santa - By Jodie, Dec 10, 07
Christmas is fast approaching, and Santa's holiday cheer is materializing all throughout the city. Not one to miss out on the festivities, Shanghai, too, has jumped on the holiday bandwagon: the jolly tunes of Christmas have seized the city's department stores, where the necessary pre-holiday shopping is evidently in full swing. Depending on how much you like your family, indeed spending time with them is the most important part of the holidays. But of comparable importance is the Christmas tree you put up each year. Though Shanghai may lack Christmas trees of the hardy Blue Spruce variety, we've scoured the city looking for the best alternatives. And here they are... Secret Garden:
Secret Garden Florist, a boutique florist near Xintiandi, offers both real and fake Christmas trees. If you are pining for the woodsy scent of a real tree this season, they can be found here for 480rmb (1 meter tall). These are quite pretty, though don't expect the same robust trees you might be used to. These trees have fine branches and soft bristles, and are delicate and lovely with the addition of lights and decoration. The same type of tree at 1.5
