A Christmas tree you build yourself, one day at a time. The Perfect Pooch Tree arrives as three flat sheets of printed card, and across December you press out a numbered piece and slot it into place — baubles, bows, bones, gingerbread, a string of lights, and a small crowd of very well-behaved dogs gathered round the base. By Christmas Eve it is a finished 3D tree standing on its own.
It is the petite size in Roger la Borde's Pop & Slot range, which makes it right for a desk, a shelf, a mantelpiece or anywhere a full-size calendar will not fit. The artwork is by Anne Bentley, and the dogs are the whole point — paper crowns, spotted bows and a lot of sideways looks at the tree.
Nothing to eat and nothing to throw away. The pieces slot rather than glue, so it comes apart at the end of December and packs flat for next year. It also posts easily: flat it is only 7 mm thick, so it works as a card-and-gift in one for someone you will not see before Christmas.

Questions
Does it need glue or scissors? No. Every piece presses out by hand and slots together.
How big is it? This is the petite version of the range, made for desks and mantelpieces rather than a tabletop centrepiece. Flat packed it measures 148 × 210 mm.
Can we use it again next year? Yes. The pieces slot rather than stick, so it comes apart and stores flat.
Will it fit in the post? Yes. It is supplied flat and is thin enough to post.
