Bird and Pine Cone Christmas Pick Faux Plant 29cm - Yellow

This little faux plant pick sets a plump yellow bird among red berries, green pine sprigs and cones, ready to bring a woodland note to your Christmas decorating. The bird has a warm mustard yellow chest, a black cap, crisp white cheeks and a grey back with a short upturned tail, and it perches on a pale cream cone with a soft, fuzzy texture. Around it sits a cluster of glossy red and deep burgundy berries, a broad green leaf, fine needle-like pine sprigs and two small brown cones. It stands 29cm tall, 11cm wide and 19cm deep, so it has enough presence to be noticed without crowding the branches around it.

The long, slim brown stem is what makes a pick so useful: it slides between the branches of a Christmas tree, tucks into a wreath or garland, or stands in a vase or jug alongside a few other stems. We like it on a mantelpiece, along a festive dining table, or at the front of a hallway arrangement where the yellow bird catches the eye as people come in. Because it is a faux plant, it keeps its look through the whole season with no watering and no dropped needles. It sits happily in a rustic, cottage-style scheme of natural greens, berry reds and warm wood tones, and it brightens a simpler tree that needs a touch of colour.

Every element is fixed to the one stem, so it goes in as a single piece and comes out just as easily when the decorations come down. Between seasons, dust it with a soft dry cloth and store it in a box with a little room around it, so the berries, leaf and pine sprigs keep their shape for next year. For gifting, tie it into the ribbon of a wrapped Christmas present as a cheerful extra that can go straight on the tree.
