Description
This house-shaped Christmas plaque brings a shaggy highland cow in a red Santa hat to your shelf, framed by sprigs of pine and a pair of pine cones. Below the cow, the message reads "There's no place like home for Christmas", with the first words in soft grey type and "Christmas" in a sweeping red glitter script that catches the light. The white face sits under a pitched roof in a warm natural tone, with a cut-out picket fence across the base in the same honey shade, so the whole piece looks like a little cottage dressed for Christmas. It measures 17.8cm high, 14.4cm wide and 3cm deep.
At 3cm deep it stands upright on its own flat base, so it suits a mantelpiece, bookshelf, windowsill or hallway table and needs no hook or nail in the wall. We like it beside a little greenery on the sideboard, or tucked among cards on a kitchen dresser. The message makes it a natural welcome by the front door through December, and the highland cow brings a country feel that suits plaid throws, pine garlands and rustic decorations. As a Christmas gift it is easy to wrap and cheerful to open, and it is ready to set out straight away.
The cow and message sit on the white face, with the roof and fence standing slightly proud of it for a layered look, and the glitter lettering adds a little sparkle. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care not to rub the glitter, and store it somewhere dry after the festive season, wrapped in tissue so the roof edges stay crisp. Set it at eye level where the cow can greet everyone who comes in, or pair it with a sprig of holly for a simple, homely festive corner.
