We are a little behind on the tree shopping this year. While I have started decorating inside the house, we have yet to pick up a Christmas tree. I have seen a lot of themed Christmas trees lately and find it kind of refreshing.
I have thought about a travel themed tree, but I do not have enough ornaments. A cooking and baking themed tree could be fun (think cookie cutters), or maybe a silver and gold tree?
We will most likely get one next weekend, so I have a few days to decide. My friend Katie had a great idea for their tree that is in the man-cave garage.
It is a beer themed tree!
For the ornaments, she made holes in the disposable coasters you get at local breweries and pubs then tied to the tree with ribbon.
For the ribbon, attach beer caps to wired ribbon by hot glueing edges of the cap to the ribbon. Let completely dry before placing ribbon on tree.
Oh and there is a beer tap handle on the top of the tree. What a fun way to incorporate the beer theme. By the way, today is National Lager Day!
Does your tree have a theme? If you were to make a themed tree, what them would it be?

That tree is pretty cute! I’d love to have a den to put a beer-themed tree in! Our tree doesn’t have a theme; my girls just love decorating it with all our familiar ornaments we use every year. 🙂
Raquel says
That’s what we usually do. I might need a second tree for a theme. 🙂
Dee says
Your friend’s Christmas tree is sweet! Every guy would want one 🙂
Raquel says
Thanks Dee! I agree – so easy to do too.
Tamara says
Ok, this is awesome! Ours totally has a theme, per my husband, of being a Doctor Who tree. He lit it with the same kind of blue that is prevalent in the show, and put the little time machine as ornaments throughout the tree. He even used the time machine as a tree topper, instead of using a star or angel!
Raquel says
I love it Tamara! I have some friends that are huge Dr. Who fans and love the topper idea!

How fun!

This is such a perfect man cave tree! My tree is a boring, traditional Christmas tree decorated in green, red, and gold. BLAH. I love the idea of themed trees!
Raquel says
LOL Gracielle! I think I am moving away from traditional too.
bj says
O, bet her hubby LOVES this tree…it is pretty cute.:)
Raquel says
Isn’t it so cute! I want to have different themed trees in every room LOL.
Sara says
We don’t do a themed tree but I love the idea of a beer tree for my husband. My sister does a small tree of homemade Christmas ornaments that my nieces have made over the years. I think its a great way to showcase their ornaments without it taking over the main tree.
Jamie says
Hah! I love it…
It’s my goal to eventually have a wine themed christmas tree.. however, I’m just starting to collect ornaments this year so i have a ways to go =) but this is VERY inspiring…
