Nightmare Before Christmas Set of 4 Tree Baubles - Black

This set of four glossy black tree baubles brings four favourite faces from a much-loved gothic Christmas film to your branches. Each round bauble carries its own printed character panel in pinks, white and pale blue, and each design is named in lettering around its edge. Oogie Boogie grins beside a wrapped present, framed by his own name; Zero the ghost dog curls into a crescent under the words "Spirited Companion"; Sally holds a tiny tree in a pink festive hat beneath "Frightfully Festive"; and Jack Skellington stands against a starry, cobwebbed sky as the "Stargazing Skeleton". Each bauble is 7cm across and measures 16cm from its base to the top of its hanging loop.

The black finish and pink prints sit happily on a green tree and look just as striking on a black or white tree for a darker, more gothic scheme. Hang all four together so each character gets its moment, or spread them through the branches at eye level where the printed words can be read. They also suit a twig tree on a sideboard, a garland along the mantelpiece or a jar of winter branches in the hallway, and they bring a playful, slightly spooky edge to a tree that might otherwise be all gold and red.

Each bauble hangs from a double loop of black and white ribbon, finished with a matching bow on top, so it is ready to hang straight away with no separate hook needed. The glossy black surface catches the glow of your tree lights. To keep them looking their best, dust with a soft dry cloth and wrap each one in tissue when you pack them away after the season so the gloss stays bright. The four make a ready-made gift that needs nothing more than a gift tag, or a fun start to a themed tree of your own.

How big is each bauble?

Each bauble is 7cm across and measures 16cm from its base to the top of its ribbon hanging loop, a comfortable size for most trees.

Which characters are on the four baubles?

Each bauble has its own design: Oogie Boogie, Zero the ghost dog with the words Spirited Companion, Sally with Frightfully Festive, and Jack Skellington as the Stargazing Skeleton.

How do the baubles hang on the tree?

Each one has a double loop of black and white ribbon tied with a bow on top, so you can slip it straight over a branch without a separate hook.

What colour are the baubles?

The baubles are glossy black all over, and each printed character panel is worked in pinks and white, with pale blue on the Oogie Boogie design.

Will they suit a black Christmas tree?

Yes, the pink and white prints stand out well against dark branches and the black and white ribbons blend in neatly, so they look as good on a black tree as on a green one.

How should I look after them?

Dust them with a soft dry cloth when needed, and wrap each bauble in tissue when you pack it away after the season so the glossy finish stays bright.
