A small wooden Christmas tree is a good way to bring a bit of the season to a desk, a shelf or a window sill. This one is a DIY wooden tree ornament that packs flat at 230 x 190 x 20 mm and weighs 102 grams. It suits anyone who wants some Christmas where there is no room for a full-size tree.
This guide covers where it works, how to style it, who would like one as a gift, and what to know before you order.
What it is
The listing describes a creative DIY wooden Christmas tree for desktop display. DIY here means there is a little making involved, so it can be part of the fun. The packed size of 230 x 190 x 20 mm is thin, which tells you the pieces are flat and light. At 102 grams it sits easily on a shelf without a fuss.
Wood gives it a warm, natural look. It fits a plain white desk, a dark wood sideboard or a bright window sill without clashing with anything.
Where it works best
- On a work desk. A small tree beside the monitor tells everyone the season has started.
- On a bookshelf. Tuck it between books and a candle for a calm winter corner.
- On a window sill. Daylight shows the shape of the wood well.
- On a bedside table. A quiet touch of Christmas, close at hand.
- In a shop or cafe window. The listing mentions window and display use, so it can sit in a small business display as well.
- On a dining table. A group of two or three small trees makes a simple centrepiece.
Styling ideas
Keep it simple. A small wooden tree already has charm, and a few well-chosen extras do the rest.
- Add a string of fairy lights. Wrap a short string around the tree or lay it on the shelf behind.
- Group it. Place it with a candle holder and a small pine cone or two. Odd numbers of objects look tidy.
- Match the colours. Natural wood sits well with white, green and gold accents.
- Hang tiny decorations. If the design allows, a few small ornaments give it a personal touch.
Whatever you add, keep light things light, so the tree stays upright. At 102 grams it is not a heavy piece.
Who it suits as a gift
A small, light, low-cost ornament is a natural pick for Christmas gifts that do not need a lot of thought but need to feel kind. Here are a few people it suits:
- A colleague. It is a lovely Secret Santa pick, since almost everyone has a desk.
- A neighbour. A little tree is a friendly thank-you.
- A teacher or a mentor. It is small, thoughtful and easy to wrap.
- A friend who loves making things. The DIY side is part of the appeal.
- Someone living in a small space. A student room, a flat or a care-home room has space for a desk tree but not a big one.
A flat pack at 20 mm thick also slips into a card, a bag or a box with other gifts, which is helpful if you are putting together a hamper.

Before you order
A few checks help you pick well:
- Space. The packed size is a guide to how big the pieces are. Check that your shelf or desk has a clear patch of that size.
- Making time. A DIY piece takes a few minutes to put together. Allow time before you give it as a gift, so you can check it stands up.
- Where it goes. Keep it away from candle flames and heaters, as you would with any wooden decoration.
Why small trees are popular
Many people do not have room for a full tree, or they want a second one in another room. A small tree answers both. It is cheap to store, it takes seconds to put out and it does not need a plug. Put it up in the first week of December, or earlier if you like to start the season early, and it will be there until you pack it away.
Putting it away
When the season ends, take the tree apart if the design allows, wrap the pieces in tissue and store them flat in a box or an envelope. Because the pack is only 20 mm thick, it fits in a drawer or in the box with your other Christmas ornaments. Next year it is ready in a minute.
The short answer
A small DIY wooden tree gives you a bit of Christmas for a desk, a shelf or a window sill, and it doubles as a neat little gift. Measure your space, plan a minute or two to build it, add a string of lights, and it is done.
