Treasy is, simply, an elegant skirt that sits around the base of your tree, covering the stand and providing a luxurious backdrop for your gifts.

Made from crushed velvet, the skirt adds an extra touch of splendour to the look of your tree, even when the gifts have been distributed.

BUT, Treasy really comes into its own at the end of the Christmas period, when you are looking to remove your tree from the premises.

By simply pulling up the skirt after you have removed all the lights and decorations, but before you take it out of its stand, you create a sealed bag which catches all the falling needles. This means you are not left with that carpet of needles which needs sweeping or vacuuming in the living room and along the hall.

In the case of a flat or apartment, there are often the common areas to consider - the stairs and/or lifts and the foyers.

Anything that is going to save any aggravation, and looks good to boot, has to be a good thing!

This is how it works

1. Unfasten the Velcro, slide the tree trunk through the drawstring hole (velvet side up) and place securely in stand. Pull Treasy up over the tree.
2. Tighten the drawstring to the trunk.
3. Twist the stand so that the Treasy's Velcro seam is at the back, out of view
4. Undo the Velcro so that the Treasy drops to the floor, then cut off the netting
5. Arrange as preferred and dress your tree

On the Twelfth Night, or whenever you choose to dismantle your tree, just remove all the decorations and lights, and, leaving the tree in its stand, pull the Treasy up the length of the tree, fully and securely fasten the Velcro along the side and across the top. That’s it! You’ve created a firmly sealed bag!

Take your tree out of its stand and feel free to drag or carry your tree, trunk first, off the premises, secure in the knowledge that all the falling needles are being caught in the bag. Regardless of however many doors it bashes against or stairs it bounces down.

Whether you leave the tree for collection, or drive it to a recycle plant (obviously your car will also remain needle free), you then undo the Velcro, pull the bag off the tree and shake the needles out. You can then fold up your Treasy and put it back in its velvet pouch, ready for next year.

Imagine:

• No more carpet of needles through your house or flat, in lifts, lobbies or flights of stairs.
• No more effort spent vacuuming those needles
• No more blocked or broken vacuuming cleaners
• A considerable amount of energy saved, both personal and electric!
• Fewer plastic trees in landfill!
