I'm thinking of something like a large cactus or a bonsai tree, suitably decorated, instead of the bog standard pine. Do you think this would be more cool, suave and generally impressive than a normal tree?

I say if you can put lights on it go for it. There is nothing wrong with thinking/decorating outside the box..

In the right setting a cactus is a great idea - modern and trandy/minimalist design I can see a cactus with red lights and fuzzy/furry/feathery, high quality tinsel looking really funky - perhaps a lava lamp and a Salvador Dali print on cracked glazed terracotta painted plaster?????? Anyhoo - if the cap fits, wear it.
Merry Christmas

Many years ago when strapped for cash, I decorated our indoor houseplant - a rubber plant. It looked quite good. You can decorate any kind of plant really. I supppose a cactus would be a bit prickly though when trying to put decorations on it - although they would probably stay put!

of course - its becoming quite a trend at the moment in interiors to use cactus as a focal point in a room and now as a christmas decoration - how fab - check out Habitat for ideas

My local garden centre has a pre lit christmas maple tree (fake of course) which looks amazing - little white LEDs with red, green & gold maple leaves, very festive and very different.
