treestand.jpgLast night as we were putting up our Christmas tree I was reminded of the best 50 bucks we’ve spent in years — on the Swive Straight Christmas Tree Stand! Truly a life (um, marriage) saver when it comes to putting up your tree. Here’s how it works –
There’s an oval piece of the base that is not attached — you screw that onto the bottom of the tree trunk, then you put the tree (with the oval piece) into the base on the floor. At this point it may be crooked. Don’t fret. Now, just hold the top of your tree with one hand, put your foot on the peddal located on the base of the unit and rotate/tilt/move the tree to the desired position. Let go of the peddal. Viola! You’ve got one straight tree — without all the swearing!

Since we purchased this stand several years ago we have never had a crooked tree — or an argument. People, if you want to make this Christmas easier go out and buy this tree stand. I’m pretty sure you can get it at most large Target-like stores.

Get it now! $50  (if I could give it more than 5 stars I would!)
