The Krinner Christmas Tree Genie carries a 4.7 star rating and an Amazon top seller badge, and it’s easy to see why. It can adjust to hold trunks between 1" and 7" in diameter, it closes with the press of a foot pedal, and even features a built-in water level indicator so your tree doesn’t dry out as quickly as your holiday spirit.
$80 isn’t chump change, but it is the best price of 2017 on a product that you’ll reuse year after year, so it’s probably something worth investing in.
