    Still haven't procured your Christmas tree? Here are your options—from real to fake to metallic to vintage! Or all of the above if you want your apartment to look like the above (this is Lily's studio apartment in the Bronx, in How I Met Your Mother). But first, maybe you should figure out what your tree style is.

    Pining for the days of metallic Christmas trees? Etsy is the place to go. They have a wide selection of vintage offerings—like this white tree for $44.95, or perhaps you prefer a plug in ceramic tree ($21).
    Have a tiny apartment but still want a Christmas tree of your own? Fred Flare has a couple of options, like this classic Charlie Brown Christmas Tree ($20) that not even the Grinch himself could resist. And then there's the Christmas tree in a tube ($14), which is actually a real tree. They explain, "Watch it grow indoors this winter, then let it flourish outside when spring weather allows."
    Amazon has tons of fake Christmas tree options. These are both reasonably priced. On the left you have a 5-foot tall pre-lit tree for just $33.59. And for the smaller apartment, on the right is a 3' x 27" for just $29.99 (with an option for both white and multi-colored lights).
