"Keep your perfectly placed baubles, bows and bells out of reach of curious, crawling kids or your cats' playful paws with this [6-foot] parasol tree," the website says.

"If Santa's been extra generous, there's plenty of room to stack pressies underneath rather than scattering them around it. It's also a great alternative to the traditional tree if you're a tad tight for space," the listing states.

The tree costs $42.47, while a second version coated in artificial snow sells for $47.78.
