Description
This cheerful elf decoration is a solar bobble head that brings a little movement and plenty of festive character to a sunny spot over Christmas. The elf wears a green suit with buttons down the front and a red trim at the waist, and a red pointed hat with a zigzag green band and a bobble at the tip. He holds his arms out wide, with a broad smile beneath a button nose. Made in glass, he sits on a white base with a small solar panel set into its front. At 11cm tall, 6.2cm wide and 6cm deep, he fits easily on a narrow windowsill.
Light falling on the panel is what sets his head bobbing, so he is happiest where the daylight reaches: a kitchen windowsill, a desk beside the window or a bright shelf in the living room. His small footprint means he sits comfortably among cards and greenery on a mantelpiece, or beside a computer screen at work, where a nodding elf makes a welcome distraction through December. As a Christmas gift he is a light-hearted choice for almost any home, and he can come out each year with the rest of the decorations.
From the curled toes of his elf shoes to the bobble on his hat, the details are picked out in bright, clear colour, with a pointed ear at either side of his head. As he is made in glass, handle him with care and give him a firm, level surface. Dust him with a soft dry cloth and wipe the solar panel gently so dust does not block the light it needs. He is a decoration rather than a toy, best enjoyed on display. For a cheerful window display, stand him in the corner of a sunny sill with a sprig of holly or a few baubles beside him and let the daylight do the rest.
