	<li>
	<h2>Consider the type of bulb you will use</h2>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>There are many different lights available, from standard plug-in lights to solar lights. One option that is top of the list are energy-efficient LED bulb lights. Not only will they cost less due to low-energy consumption, but they will last a lot longer than many other bulbs. This will substantially reduce your energy usage and costs over the festive period. There are many available, including soft glow lights that can really look like snow!</p>

<ol start="2">
	<li>
	<h2>Different types of lights to choose from</h2>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>There is a vast array of lights to decorate your garden with, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to think about what style you want and what you would like your garden to look like. Would you like all the lights to be white or full of different colours? There are also many different shapes, from flower to bird shapes, snow or just a classic fairy light string of lights. Or if you can&rsquo;t decide, get some inspiration when you go shopping and see all the different types available.</p>

<ol start="3">
	<li>
	<h2>Safety aspects of lighting your garden</h2>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>It&rsquo;s important to ensure you purchase lights for outdoor use. Make sure you have an outdoor safety socket that is protected from the rain or, if they are plugged in inside, that all windows and doors are secured. If any cables are a trip hazard, ensure they are secured or taped down. Don&rsquo;t forget to include a timer for your lights, so you won&rsquo;t ever have to remember to turn them off before you go to bed.</p>

<ol start="4">
	<li>
	<h2>What to light up in your garden</h2>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>Depending on your garden and what you want to achieve from lighting it up for the festive period, just about anything can be covered in lights! Icicle lights hanging from the roof, lighting up a pathway, lights sparkling in a tree or even on potted plants or by the front door. There are lights appropriate for any size, space, and style. There are even lights that will &lsquo;dance&rsquo; to music.</p>

<ol start="5">
	<li>
	<h2>Some fun stuff for the garden</h2>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>Do you want to go wild? You can have some really great fun with LED-lighted garden reindeer, angels, stars, and Christmas trees, or how about a snowman? Even Santa&rsquo;s sleigh can make an appearance. The LED bulbs highlight your garden in the evening. Give your guests a warm welcome with fun lighting figures.</p>

<p>Replace your old Christmas lighting with energy-saving, new, and good-looking LED lights to save money and energy this Christmas. You will be amazed by the huge choice we offer at our garden centres. Check out our range of Christmas lights in our festive stores.&nbsp;</p>

Energy-Efficient Christmas Garden Lighting

<p>From lights to hanging decorations, even tinsel and toppers, we&#39;ve put together some <strong>Christmas tree decoration ideas</strong> for you below.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are many <strong>ways to decorate your Christmas tree</strong>, so it can be a tricky decision to decide on the style, colours, and materials you would like to use to create a truly perfect Christmas tree for you, your family, and friends who visit over the holidays. From lights to hanging decorations, even tinsel and toppers, we&rsquo;ve put together some ideas for you below.</p>

<h2>1. Fairy lights</h2>

<p>First, and perhaps foremost, are your Christmas tree lights. They will be put on your tree before you add all the other decorations and with so many different types to choose from, think about what style you would like. Or, browse what&rsquo;s available and decide on the spot! There are small fairy lights, flashing lights (many have settings, so you can choose the pattern of flashing lights), and white and multi-coloured. There are also various shapes, from the traditional bulb to stars, butterflies, and icicles. Don&rsquo;t forget to check out the LED light bulb options for a more eco-friendly Christmas and to save some costs.</p>

<h2>2. Hanging decorations</h2>

<p>There are many ways to decorate a tree, so this will give you some ideas. If you use giant ornaments, use them sparingly, so each one can be admired. Using smaller ornaments means you could also have room for other hanging decorations, including sparkly reindeer or stars. You could go big on colour or stick to a theme such as white, pink, or green. Think of your tree as a personal expression of yourself. What colours do you like? What colours are your home or other festive decorations? You could skip the ornaments and make your own natural decorations from collected pine cones, twigs, and leaves. Using dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and sprigs of garden foliage also work well.</p>

<h2>3. Additional accessories</h2>

<p>Don&#39;t forget the tinsel and Christmas tree topper. Tinsel can give your tree a whole vintage vibe, so pick your colours and go for it. You can also use other accessories, such as shiny beads or ribbons. Remember to layer the ornaments and accessories to ensure the tree looks perfectly balanced. Don&#39;t forget to top the tree with a big star, fairy, or even a big show-off bow. Make your Christmas tree your own.</p>

<h2>4. Ways to decorate your Christmas tree around the base</h2>

<p>It&#39;s not just the branches and needles that can be used to decorate your tree, as it all comes down to the base. First, make sure the tree is standing in the correct size base and then wrap it in a fake snow blanket or ribbon, or even add a Christmas scene at the bottom. With your base decorated, you&rsquo;re all ready for Santa to deliver the presents.</p>
