Description
This little gingerbread tree snow globe brings a sweet, freshly iced bakery look to the Christmas shelf. Inside the clear globe stands a tiered gingerbread tree in warm tan, each layer edged with piped white icing swirls, rising from a snowy white disc. Beneath it, the base is shaped like a gingerbread cup in rich brown with a sugary sparkle. It is criss-crossed with a white icing lattice and capped with thick white icing that drips over the rim, finished with a scalloped edge at the foot. Give it a gentle shake and iridescent glitter with a pink shimmer drifts down around the tree. It stands 10cm tall, 6cm wide and 6cm deep, so it fits almost anywhere.
Its compact size makes it an easy fit on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table, and it looks just as cheerful on a desk or tucked in among the cards on a hall table. The warm brown and creamy white tones sit nicely with natural greenery, pine cones and rustic Christmas decorating, while still adding a playful, sweet-shop touch. As a Christmas gift it is easy to wrap and small enough to slip into a stocking, a thoughtful little extra for anyone who loves the cosy, baked-treat side of the season.
We like it for the detail. It is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine moulding well, so the piped icing, the lattice and the drips all look crisp and convincing. Stand it on a flat, steady surface where it will not be knocked. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and give the globe a gentle wipe if it gathers fingerprints. For a sweet finishing touch, group it with a little bowl of baubles or set it beside a mug of cocoa and a plate of biscuits.
