Description
This gingerbread house infinity light brings a sweet, storybook glow to a shelf or mantelpiece at Christmas. It is shaped like a little iced cottage, with a striped candy cane for a chimney curling up from the roof, a scalloped trim of icing along the eaves and looping swirls beneath it, a heart-shaped window, a round window and an arched front door. Inside the outline, rows of tiny lights seem to run back and back into the distance, so the house looks far deeper than it is. It stands 40cm tall on its own flat base, a good height to be noticed across a room without crowding a sideboard.
Because it stands on its own base, it needs no hook, nail or wall space. We like it on a mantelpiece, an indoor windowsill, a hall table or a bookcase, where its glow greets people as they come in. It sits happily on a kitchen dresser among the festive baking things too, or on a side table in the living room for cosy evenings through December. Gingerbread houses have a nostalgic charm that suits traditional and playful Christmas schemes alike, and it also makes a cheerful present for someone setting up their decorations.
It runs on low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the mains, so there are no batteries to change. The lights hold a steady, static glow rather than flashing or chasing, which keeps it restful in a room where you sit and talk. Keep the transformer indoors and away from damp, and set the light within easy reach of a socket. To care for it, unplug it and dust it with a soft dry cloth, keeping sprays and liquids away. For the best effect, give it a spot that falls dim in the evening, perhaps beside a few sprigs of greenery on the mantelpiece, so the tunnel of lights draws the eye.
