Can you bend a Christmas tree into shape? With this one, you can. The Charida is made from handcrafted iron wire in a warm brass tone, with branches you can mould however you like.

Think of it as a pared-back base for whatever you fancy hanging on it. Baubles look right at home, and so does a string of fairy lights wound round the trunk. The small and large sizes stand on a tripod base, and the extra large has a solid base of its own.

Pop it in the hallway or on the dining room sideboard, then stand a Christmas cactus at its feet for a bit of living green. It'll come back out every December for years to come.
