Description
This large pastel candy cane Christmas tree decoration brings sugary, sweet-shop cheer to the branches. The cane is a soft mint green, studded from crook to tip with raised sweets in pastel pink, buttery yellow, lilac and sky blue: swirled lollipops, striped peppermints, wrapped bonbons and two little lilac and white candy canes of their own. Several of the wrapped sweets have a sparkling white frosting at their twisted ends that catches the tree lights. It hangs 46cm tall, 13.5cm across and 2.8cm deep, a real presence on the tree.
At 46cm, it suits a good-sized tree, where it can hang near the front and be seen from across the room. It looks especially at home on a pastel or candy-themed tree among mint, pink and lilac baubles, but it is just as happy adding a playful note to a traditional scheme of greens, reds and golds. Away from the tree, hang it from a mantelpiece garland, a wreath hook, a door handle or a window latch to carry the festive mood into the hallway or kitchen. It makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a sweet-shop look, and a fun extra for a Christmas Eve box.
A gold-coloured cap sits at the top of the crook with a fine hanging cord in place, so it is ready to go straight onto a branch. The sweets are raised from the surface of the cane, giving it depth and texture as the light moves across it, while the slim profile lets it sit neatly against the foliage. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and handle the frosted sweets gently. When the season ends, wrap it in tissue and store it flat in a box, ready for the following Christmas. We like it hung among a few smaller pastel baubles, where it becomes the sweet centrepiece of the tree.
