Whether you just downsized or you've lived in a small space for years, this roundup of mini Christmas tree ideas has a little something for everyone!

If you want the feel of a full-grown fir, place a 2- to 3-foot-tall tree (real or faux) in a basket or container, and set it on a side table or stool. This gives you height without the extra width that you get with tall Christmas trees. Plus, the space under the table or stool is the perfect spot for presents.

Data collected by Square reveals that while most people purchase their trees right after Thanksgiving or during the first week of December, this may not be the most cost-effective time.
