Gingerbread Man Resin Snow Globe with Iced Base 15cm - Brown

This gingerbread man snow globe sets a cheerful iced biscuit figure inside a clear dome, standing on a little bed of white snow with flecks of glitter sparkling around him. He has a wide smile, two red buttons and swirls of white piped icing across his golden brown body, with darker hands and feet trimmed in white. Beneath the dome, the base looks like a gingerbread bake of its own, with a criss-cross lattice of white icing, a fringe of drips around the top and a frilled white edge at the foot. Made from resin, it stands 15cm tall, 8cm wide and 9.5cm deep, small enough for a tight spot.

Christmas is where this little globe belongs. At 15cm tall it is easy to place on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table, and it sits happily among other festive pieces on a sideboard or a hall table. Its warm brown and white colouring suits a cosy, homely Christmas look as well as a more traditional one. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, a small keepsake to tuck into a stocking or hand over with a card, and one that can come out with the decorations year after year.

The resin gives both the figure and the base the raised texture of real piped icing, with the lattice and drips standing proud of the surface. The globe is freestanding, so it needs no hook or wall, only a flat, steady surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the base with a slightly damp cloth when needed. When the festive season ends, we suggest wrapping it in tissue and storing it upright in a box so the dome and the icing detail stay protected until next year. For a sweet seasonal scene, set it beside a plate of mince pies or a jar of gingerbread biscuits.
