Christmas tree stands

Picking up a 6ft real Christmas tree tomorrow & we'll need a stand for it. We can pay £5 to have it put into a 'sliced block' of a tree trunk so that it stands up, but I'm not sure if it's even worth doing as it wont let us water the tree.
The decent water stands I'm finding online (Cinco 7 Advantage Christmas Tree Stand) seem to be about £20delivered
Does anyone know any other ones that'll let us water the tree for cheaper?
OR...
Do we just make our own with a bucket, bricks/stones, etc. (Or is this just a pain?) If so should we pay for the extra wood slice so it stands better in the bucket?
Hope this makes sense & thanks in advance!!
p.s.The previous tree we had was potted so never had this issue!
