Choosing the Perfect Tree Topper
When looking for that perfect item to top off your Christmas tree, you’ll need to take a few things into consideration. Most importantly, consider the size, width, and shape of your tree.
If your Christmas tree is a full tree with a cone shape, opt for the traditional star or angel tree topper design. For slim trees that have a narrow profile, look for the slender, elongated tree toppers that spheres that rise up to a point at the top.
Another factor to consider is the height of the tree. You want to know exactly how tall your tree is, so you don’t choose a topper that extends too close to your ceiling. To ensure your tree and topper have the correct amount of clearance, try to leave about five or six inches between the top of the topper and your ceiling.
And while most tree toppers are made of lightweight materials, you’ll want to be sure that your tree can support the weight of the topper. If your topper is a bit on the heavier side, add extra branches into the base of the topper to add support. If that’s not enough, you can try additional supports like zip ties or metal rod extenders. These supports allow you to insert a pole into the top of your tree. Keeping it in line with the central branch, thread a zip tie through the eyelets on the pole and secure the topper and pole to the tree for added security.
The topper’s size and weight should be proportionate to your tree. A topper that’s too large and heavy will overpower the tree, while a delicate topper won’t stand out on a full, 12-foot tree that’s a prominent decoration in your home around the holidays.
While each tree is different, here are some general tips for choosing a topper that’s right for your tree:
- Trees 4- to 5½-feet tall: choose a 5 inch by 3 inch topper
- Trees 5½- to 6½-feet tall: choose a 7 inch by 5 inch topper
- Trees 6½- to 7½-feet tall: choose a 8 inch by 6 inch topper
- Trees over 8-feet tall: choose a 9 inch by 7 to 8 inch topper
When placing your tree topper on the tree, be careful as you do so. Use a stepladder to ensure you’re able to reach the top, and ask a friend or family member to keep an eye on the ladder and on the tree itself.
Types of Christmas Tree Toppers Available
Now that you have all the information you need to choose the right tree topper, let's take a look at the topper options available at Kohl’s!
As mentioned before, full, conical trees are best suited for star and angel toppers. And Kohl’s has both options available, with lots of variations to choose from. Plenty of the star and angel toppers are pre-lit, meaning you can easily plug the topper into your tree’s light strands and watch the magic happen! Be sure to test the lights on the topper before adding it to the tree to ensure the topper works as expected. As with any delicate or breakable tree ornaments, keep the topper out of reach of young children as these decor pieces could break easily and become a hazard.
Toppers can also fit a variety of themes that will match the look and feel of your home’s year-round decor! Take for example, the farmhouse chic design trend. This is a popular look that many people incorporate into their home, no matter the season. Keep this theme going during the holiday season, too, by choosing a tree topper that offers visible wire, wood details, and buffalo check ribbon. If you want a more traditional look, choose classic toppers in the shapes of stars or angels, as these are timeless options that fit nearly any Christmas decor theme. These traditional options usually come in shades of silver and gold, offering classic appeal that will never go out of style!
For extra fun, look for novelty toppers that feature moving parts or famous characters from movies and TV!
