If you buy wreaths for your door, do you buy real ones or fake ones?

I need to get a new wreath this year and am debating on which kind to get.  The real ones are so pretty and smell nice but they have some nice fake ones too that would last me a few years. What do you buy?

We bought for years from where we cut our tree down!Then I went to the craft store one year and made several,1 for the garage,house,and each child's bedroom door(those I let them pick out what they wanted)! saves us alot of money each year,a wreath here goes for 40 plus!

We have the artificial wreaths here.  I use to buy the real ones but I would always be cleaning up the needles.  Plus the fake ones can be used every year.

I love the smell of fresh ones, but the needles fall out rather quickly. If I were to purchase, I'd probably buy a fake one. My DD takes a floral class in high school and makes me one every year, so I've been fortunate to not have to buy one the last few years.

I use fake ones but I like to buy the items from the craft store and make them myself :)

Although the real ones smell and look a bit better, I think I prefer a fake wreth just because it can be reused for more than one time.

I usually have a fake one.  One year I did buy a real one and it was really nice.  I guess I just buy the fake ones because they have all the embellishments on them.
