Description
This light-up post box brings the classic red pillar box of the British street to your Christmas display, and 30 white LEDs make it glow from within. It stands 29cm tall and 14.5cm across and deep. It has a snow-covered cap, a little robin perched on top, a black band around the lower section and a snowy white base. A gold panel on the front catches the light, and the ribbed red body scatters the glow so the whole box shines brightly after dark.
It is made for indoor and outdoor use, so you can set it wherever it will be seen best. Indoors it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a hall table or a windowsill, and its compact footprint leaves room for greenery and cards around it. Outside, it makes a cheerful welcome in a porch, beside the front door or on a step by the doorway, greeting visitors as they arrive. We love the way the post box shape nods to letters sent to Father Christmas, which makes it a lovely talking point for the whole family through December.
The box is made from plastic and wire, with the LEDs set inside. It runs at low voltage through a mains transformer, so it plugs into the mains. The 10m lead cable gives you plenty of reach from a socket to a porch or a far corner of the room. The built-in timer means you need not remember to switch it off at the plug each night. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover, and wipe the box clean with a damp cloth when it needs it. For an easy festive scene, set it among a few pine cones and sprigs of holly, or let it stand alone by the door to light the way home.
