Description
This MDF mantel plaque is cut in the shape of a Christmas tree and printed with a festive grumble everyone will recognise. A soft light blue ground is scattered with red, green, white and gold stars. At its centre sits a round mint-green portrait of a scowling gentleman in a black top hat and dark coat, framed like a bauble hanging from a gold cap. Beneath him, in bold black capitals, are the words BAH HUMBUG. It stands 25cm tall, so it has the presence to hold its own on a mantelpiece without crowding it.
We see it on a mantelpiece first, as its name suggests, but it is just as at home on a bookshelf, a hallway table, a windowsill or a desk at work, wherever a little seasonal humour is welcome. It brings a lighter note to the Christmas decorations, a wry nod to the grumbler in all of us when the tinsel comes out. It also makes a cheerful Christmas gift that raises a smile the moment the wrapping comes off, and it sits happily alongside more traditional decorations.
The plaque is made from MDF, a solid piece made to sit on a mantelpiece or shelf, so there is no need for a nail or hook. The design is printed across the front, with the stars, portrait and lettering in clear, bright colour. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as MDF is happiest kept dry. When the season ends, wrap it in tissue and it will be ready for next December. Stand it at the end of the mantelpiece among greenery and cards, or tuck a bag of humbugs beside it for a gift with a wink.
