I actually just bought these in the silver as I have a little Plants2Gardens Christmas tree that I put at my front door around about now. It will look nice with the silver lights on , not too Christmassy, and I'll have 2 other strands to put up the bannisters.
I have been looking in the supermarkets but most of the lights are plug in and not as cheap as they used to be so I've just gone for these as I need battery and I like the idea of the timer as I inevitably forget to turn them off when I go to bed.
