How about an inexpensive Feather tree (49108) with a tin base? It might not satisfy the purist, but for $59.95, this 26" feather tree will find a corner in my house.
Original tinsel from Austria has been made by the same company for the past 100 years. Remember painstakingly putting it on strand by strand? Why deprive your kids of that same pleasure? Order three boxes (H2746) for $10.80 and let the fun begin!
I can't remember anyone's house who DIDN'T have this tree in their house! An illuminated ceramic tree (25121) with plastic beads for lights, that stands 13.5" tall and sells for $39.95.
