Festive Miniature Open Arms Santa Ceramic Decoration - Red

This festive miniature Santa decoration is a cheerful little figure in red ceramic, with his arms held out wide as though he is about to give you a hug. He wears a tall red hat finished with a white bobble and a white band, a red coat edged in a white frilled hem and red trousers, and he stands on a pair of shiny black boots. His face is full of character, with rosy cheeks, closed smiling eyes, a round red nose and a generous white beard and moustache. It is a small piece, just 5cm tall, 4cm across and 2cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

Because he is so compact, our little Santa fits into corners that larger Christmas decorations cannot reach. Stand him on a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, or tuck him beside a row of Christmas cards, among the greenery of a table centrepiece or on the edge of a desk at work. He looks just as at home on a kitchen shelf as he does in a festive scene on the sideboard, and he adds a spot of classic red to any seasonal arrangement. As a Christmas gift he makes a thoughtful little extra, easy to wrap on his own or to tuck alongside a larger present.

He is made from ceramic with a smooth, glossy finish, and he stands on his own two boots with no hook or loop needed, so he rests happily on any flat, level spot. To keep him bright from one Christmas to the next, dust him with a soft dry cloth, or wipe him gently with a slightly damp cloth and let him dry before you put him away. Set him out early in December and he will greet everyone who passes with those wide open arms, a small, smiling reminder that the festive season has arrived.
