Boy Posting Letters Light Up Tree Scene Figurine - White

This light up tree scene figurine captures a small Christmas moment: a young boy in a white coat, red scarf and hat reaches up to post his letter into a tall, deep red pillar box. Three frosted fir trees stand behind him, the tallest topped with a gold star, and a little gold sleigh loaded with wrapped parcels waits on the snowy base. A fine string of tiny lights winds through the branches, so the whole scene glows softly as the evening draws in. It is made from resin, also known as polystone, with a frosted, smoked finish that gives the trees their snow-dusted, wintry look.

At 13.9cm tall it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a sideboard or a bookshelf, and looks just as good tucked among greenery on a hall table as it does beside the Christmas cards. The lights run from batteries rather than a plug, so there is no flex to hide and you can place it wherever the scene looks best, as long as the room is dry and indoors. A boy sending off his Christmas letters is a sweet piece of festive storytelling, which makes this a thoughtful Christmas gift and a lovely way to bring a little seasonal cheer to a room each December.

The lights take three LR44 button batteries. The detail is moulded into the resin, from the layered branches to the scrollwork and bands on the post box, and picked out in gold on the star, the sleigh and the box's trim. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it away from damp and steam. When the season is over, take out the batteries before you wrap it and pack it away, and it will be ready to take its place on the shelf again next Christmas.
