Iced Gingerbread Train Resin Snow Globe 9cm - Brown & White

This little snow globe rides on top of a gingerbread train, finished in warm biscuit brown with thick white icing and red and white candy trims. Inside the clear globe, a smiling gingerbread figure with a red bow hugs an iced gingerbread Christmas tree while flakes of snow drift around them. An iced cap like a gingerbread roof sits on top, dotted with red berries and a sprig of holly. Below, the train carries a candy cane and a holly sprig on its side, piped icing along each edge, a chimney topped like an iced cone and wheels painted as peppermint swirls. It is made from resin, also known as polystone, and stands 9cm tall, 6.5cm wide and 5cm deep.

Small enough for a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, it brings a sweet, cheerful note wherever the Christmas decorations go up. It sits happily among a gingerbread or candy-themed scene, on a sideboard among the cards, or on a desk where it can be picked up and shaken through December. Give it a gentle turn and the snow drifts down over the little figure and its tree. As a Christmas gift it suits anyone who loves the cosy, sugary side of the season, and it tucks easily into a stocking or a festive hamper.

The resin body is moulded with all the texture of a freshly iced biscuit, from the piped trim round the roof to the raised swirls on each wheel, and the details are picked out in red, brown and white paint. It stands steadily on its wheels and base, so it needs no hook or stand. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and handle the globe with care, as you would any small ornament. Set it at eye level where the snow can be seen falling, and tie a red ribbon around it if you are giving it as a present.
