Vicki, who posts under the Instagram handle @elibankhousebuild, took to Instagram to show off the popular holiday buy.
Vicki captioned her clip: “And it’s giving all the holiday vibes!
“The closest thing to real I’ve ever seen and Perfect for any cosy corner, festive shelf, or just making your space merry & bright.
“Who else needs one?!”
The cute little tree is retailing for only €50 in stores.
It comes pre lit so shoppers can avoid the fuss with cables.
Vicki also added a personal touch by wrapping a thick red velvet ribbon around the rustic burlap base of the tree.
She said: “POV: You just found the mini Christmas tree of the season.”
The post caused a frenzy online with fans flocking to Dunnes Stores to grab one for their homes.
One follower commented: “Just got one but I might need 20 more.”
Another added: “Hope to get one. Didn’t see them in my local Dunnes today, hopefully not sold out.”
A third fan revealed: “Awh, already sold out online.”
While someone else joked: “I really, really didn’t need any more decorations but now I do.”
The tree’s compact size makes it ideal for smaller spaces, adding a festive touch without taking up too much room.
The four foot Prelit Burlap Tree is perfect for creating a cosy, holiday atmosphere anywhere in your home.
It is designed to fit perfectly in smaller spaces while still bringing a touch of festive cheer.
With the Christmas countdown well underway, it seems this little tree is the perfect way to deck your halls on a budget.
The retailer has also encouraged customers to check availability in-store, as the tree is proving to be a sell-out success this year.
But if you’re hoping to snag one, you might want to act fast.
These trees are flying off the shelves faster than Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve!
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
