Despite what everyone says, trees really do have feelings, as exemplified by their sappy tears and hysterical outbursts whenever someone lights the Yule log. Demonstrate goodwill toward tree-men this holiday season with today's Groupon: for $35, you get $70 worth of in-store merchandise at Tree Classics. While the website stock is impressive, it only scrapes the surface of the store's ample inventory, so head to Lake Barrington —for the full effect.

Tree Classics features a wide selection of artificial Christmas trees, with variations in width, height, weight, and type, as well as a Tree Selection Wizard to help pinpoint the perfect pseudo-tannenbaum. Pre-lit trees, such as the American sterling fir ($199.95 for 4.5') or the slim frosted alpine spruce ($69.95 for 4'), take the lighting legwork out of trimming, whereas revelers preferring to light their own trees can opt for a bare fir such as the ready-to-light deluxe evergreen ($189.95 for 6.5'). Aside from spruce-able spruces, Tree Classics also boasts a large selection of wreaths, garlands, candleholders, and storage solutions to help deck the halls and leave every garlanded nook, holly-boughed cranny, and non-denominational crawlspace needle-free.
