Description
This little light-up decoration is a Christmas village gift shop in miniature, finished in a cheerful mix of colours and full of tiny festive details. An arched deep red sign reads "Gifts" in black lettering beneath a pair of gold bells and a bow, and under it a green-and-white striped awning shades the shopfront. Santa stands at his counter in his red suit and white beard, with wrapped presents stacked beside him, while a glittered tree and a red parcel wait out on the grey pavement. A tall cream sign spelling out CHRISTMAS runs down one side against a brick wall, and dabs of glittery snow sit on the awning and the corners. It stands 12.3cm tall, 13cm wide and 6cm deep, small enough for the narrowest shelf.
Compact and freestanding, it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a sideboard, anywhere in a dry room indoors where a small festive scene can be enjoyed up close. It gives a Christmas village of your own a shop to visit, or it can stand alone on a hall table to greet guests through December. Because it lights up, it comes into its own on dark winter afternoons and evenings. As a Christmas gift it suits anyone who loves setting out the decorations each year, and it is small enough to wrap neatly.
It runs on two AAA batteries, so there is no plug or cable to hide and it can go wherever it looks best. The flat base gives it a steady footing. To keep it looking fresh, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the glitter and the little figures, and take the batteries out before you pack it away after Christmas. Set it among a little greenery or a few red berries and it will look as though the shop has just opened for the evening.
