Best Christmas Garland Comparison: Norfolk Pine

For years I have been wanting to do a personal review/comparison on the most realistic Christmas garlands on the market. And of course they had to be budget-friendly because I am filling a lot of different indoor areas (stairs, mantel, table decor, and window edges ) and possibly some outdoor areas too. Since I already knew that Norfolk pine (along with cedar) is my favorite type of garland, it was time to let the shopping begin! So after many purchases and returns, the winners are in! Here are my picks for the Best Christmas Garland Comparison: Norfolk Pine.

More Review Tips+ Pics (from my house)

Tips:

Tip #1) Do a practice run to calculate how many ft. (or strands, or different sizes) you might need.

I needed around 132 ft for my garland projects this year and different sizes for those areas.

Tip #2) Knowing quantity, sizes needed, and how many areas you’re decorating – will affect pricing (and your budget).

Since I was decorating at least 3 different areas, (and needed to cover around 132 ft) – price definitely was a big factor for me.

Tip #3) Buy early + Use coupon/discount codes. (Garland does sell out too – just an FYI).

Afloral is running Fall30 (30% coupon code right now – don’t know when it expires)
Afloral is offering 15% off first order also.
Amazon has Prime Day coming Oct. 7th/8th – so check for sales there as well.
Hobby Lobby runs 50% Christmas until October-ish and 40% until around November (and that makes a huge difference).
