Nice garland. Last year I wanted these, but they had run out . This year I ordered 4 of these at the end of October to make sure I got them before Christmas. No issues - got them = life is good. The problem came when the holidays rolled around and I unpacked the items. Three were great; one had no lights.

Forgetting for a moment that it has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, this could actually scare small children. It’s confusing; is it a boy, is it a girl? Why is the nose bleeding?
This is a sad commentary on our present times. That all being said, it’ll probably be very popular!

Only lasted 1 Christmas. Don’t waste your money. 1 light goes out they all go out and we tried to replace them and found 8 of the first 10 we checked were already out.

Received the item today and it’s so wrapped tightly around its self that it took a couple of minutes to figure out where to start unwrapping. Nothing was attached. Have to put the berries and pinecones on myself. No silver bristle, so not like picture at all, and the lights came unattached and in a baggie.

It didn’t look as full or nearly as real as the photos, especially after they crammed it into a shoebox to ship it! See photos. The flip-flops were thrown in for scale. It took me 40min to fluff any sort of life into it. I thought I was gonna need a florist & a defibrillator for while there.

I purchased one (1) blown glass santa ornament for a Christmas present and when it finally arrived it came as a set of five (5) BROKEN ornaments that are made of some sort of resin/plastic that’s stinks! I ordered before there were other reviews up and I really wish I had waited to see what others had said about their orders!

I LOVE this tree topper. I looked all over the place to try to find the perfect Angel for my 9 foot tree and this was definitely the one!!! It has beautiful LED changing lights and adds the perfect touch to my Christmas Tree. Only down side is it wouldn’t quite sit on the top of my tree by simply placing it on.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!
This product is NOT what is pictured or what is described. Instead of 500 lights there are only 100. And instead of an 18 foot long trail the trail is only 4 feet long. It is very disappointing and the response I received from the seller is that the star I received was the only one that they had. What a rip off !!!!!!!

The beads are not a vibrant red as shown in the photo, more of a dusky maroon. The beads are also spaced further apart along the wire further than the image. I was very disappointed, and so I am returning them.

Buyer Beware! The listing pictures show the “Martha Stewart” star however, this is a cheap knock off. Pictures are deceptive as they show the “real” product as well as the version you will receive. Product is smaller, with considerably fewer lights. “Tails” are short with only 16 lights. Go with Gardin.

Sure, the graphic on the sheet of metal looks like the chicken. But this isn’t what the pictures show. This is very deceiving . Some pictures in their description show a chicken standing on cement. Not sure how this metal chicken with a stake would stand on anything. There is no place to put the lights.

The shooting star only has a 4 foot tail. The picture is highly deceiving. I’m not sure how to hang the star yet since our trees are more than 4 ft apart. Perhaps take single strand lights and hook them to the star…

I Purchased a 10 foot tree and nine strands of Garland. The strand in the picture where only half the lights are lit was purchased on October 5, 2019. In mid November 2019 I decorated and discovered that half of the garland would not light up on that strand.

This isn’t a shill review like the others.
Positives:
- creative solution for people who do not like to put up lights every year
- should outlast plastic clips used hang lights, so long-term savings
Negatives:
- not a solution for modern homes with peaked roofs and no eaves to hide the lights
- you can…

I bought these garlands to avoid the mess and extra work that come with buying live garlands and wreaths. Unfortunately, this garland makes a mess of its own. When I took the garland out of the box it shed a lot of its plastic needles onto the floor.

Soooooo. Tell me how this is a tree topper??? Maybe it levitates over the tree? Or perhaps I can put it on a string and hang it from my ceiling over the tree? I know this is inexpensive…..but come on! Also on another side note—– the glitter is already off in most places. Congratulations You just killed Christmas.

Looks nothing like shown. Lights are a 10 bulb string separate in the box. The little bows are made with 1 1/2" ribbon which is mashed beyond repair.

Absolutely excellent little gadget. Works very well and held up against a toddler.
Con is that it is very overpriced. Especially considering the price of additional ornaments. Which you must order, you cannot just use any ornament.

When I received this item I was very dissapointed, not only did the star sit crooked on the coil, but it was only one sided which was never mentioned in the description or on the photo. My tree is not on a wall so I need a tree topper that can be enjoyed by all sides, not just one. Look at the additional photos I posted.
