Happy Birthday ribbon
Buy one roll first. The wording immediately changes the tree from a general candy tree into a birthday tree. One roll should provide several vertical cascades if you cut it into manageable sections rather than wrapping the entire tree continuously.
Happy Birthday Script Wired Ribbon — Craft Outlet
Pastel party hats
Use several hats as ornaments and place the tallest one at the top. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate tree topper.

- One around the middle
