When I purchased two of these holiday baskets for Christmas I was not prepared for how real they actually appeared to be when I received them.  The branches, berries and pine cones were so lifelike it was hard to believe they were priced so reasonably when you consider they were equipped with a timer operated battery (battery you supply) which allows the fifty lights to turn on for six hours and off for eighteen on a 24 hour cycle.  Absolutely outstanding for the price. I plan to use them all winter long, even after the holidays, just without the lights, because they look so natural and are a beautiful addition to my winter landscape.
