Frosted Gingerbread Nutcracker Figurine 44.5cm - Brown & White

This frosted gingerbread nutcracker figurine brings a sweet, bakery-bright cheer to Christmas decorating. He is dressed as a chef, with a tall white hat banded in red and green and set with a peppermint swirl, a curly white wig, a moustache and a long white beard. His gingerbread-brown tunic is trimmed with red and pink stripes and white piping that looks like iced frosting, over striped stockings and brown boots dotted with white. In one hand he holds a tall red staff topped with a peppermint sweet, and from the other hangs a little gingerbread man in a striped hat and scarf. A sugary sparkle runs across the whole figure, and he stands on a round base striped in red, white and gingerbread brown.

Standing 44.5cm tall, 12.2cm wide and 9cm deep, he takes up little room on a mantelpiece, sideboard, hall table or windowsill, yet stands tall enough to be seen across a room. The warm brown and white colouring, lifted with red and pink, sits happily alongside traditional red and gold decorations, and he looks as cheerful in a kitchen as he does by the tree in a living room. As a Christmas gift, he suits a home that brings out the decorations year after year, and his chef's outfit gives him a little more personality than the usual soldier nutcracker.

He is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine detail such as the curls of his wig, the piping on his tunic and the tiny gingerbread man. The base gives him a steady footing, so he stands on any flat surface with no stand or hook needed. To keep him looking his best, dust him gently with a soft dry cloth and handle the slim staff with care when moving him. For a festive mantel, stand him at one end with a few sprigs of greenery around his feet.
