They use a mix of synthetic and craft materials—commonly plastic and polyethylene. Some listings also note components such as PVC, metal, foam, wood, or polyester.
Core foliage is pine and eucalyptus; some mixes add cedar and holly leaves alongside decorative berries.
Many arrive pre-decorated with bright red or white berries, pinecones (sometimes frosted or snow-accented), ornaments or jingle bells, and occasionally glitter or burr-thistle accents.
They typically have a bendable wire core for shaping and include hooks or wrapped/bendable loops at the ends to make hanging and positioning easier.
Weights vary across listings, commonly ranging from about 0.85 pounds up to 2.5 pounds.
Most listings specify an unlit design and note no battery is used, so they arrive without integrated lighting.
