Description
This gingerbread train snow globe brings a sweet scene to the festive season. Inside the clear dome sits a little resin locomotive styled as gingerbread, with a chocolate-brown funnel tipped with red, a cab with a snow-white iced roof, a tiny gingerbread man on its side and wheels piped in white with red centres. Glitter flakes drift around it whenever the globe is turned, like a fresh fall of snow. The base matches the scene: a warm gingerbread brown, criss-crossed with white lattice piping, finished with drips of icing around the top and a scalloped piped edge at the foot. It stands 14.5cm tall and measures 10cm across and 10cm deep.
At 14.5cm tall it is a compact piece that settles easily onto a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a windowsill or a bookshelf, and it looks at home on a Christmas table. In brown and white it sits comfortably alongside gingerbread-themed decorations, natural wood and cream or red festive touches, and it makes a charming seasonal keepsake for a child's bedroom shelf. As a Christmas gift it is a thoughtful little present for anyone with a soft spot for gingerbread and old-fashioned trains, and the sort of piece that comes out of the decorations box year after year.
The train and the base are resin, which holds the fine piped detail of the icing, the lattice and the scalloped edge crisply. It is a freestanding piece with a flat base, so it needs no hook or wall and simply sits where you place it. To keep it looking its best, dust the base with a soft dry cloth and wipe the dome with a slightly damp cloth when needed, then dry it. Keep it as a decoration to admire rather than something to play with. For a cosy display, set it beside a few fairy lights or a cluster of pine cones so the glitter catches the glow.
