Oval Reindeer Head Christmas Tree Hanger Plaque - Brown

This oval reindeer plaque is a small resin tree hanger with a proper Christmas feel, made to hang among the branches rather than sit on a shelf. At its centre, a reindeer head stands out in relief against a cream ground, his coat textured in warm brown and his antlers picked out in gold. A fine beaded gold border runs around the cream panel, and a deep red rim frames the whole oval. Across the top sits a spray of green foliage with a sparkling finish, two pine cones and a cluster of red berries, while a sheer brown ribbon is tied in a loose bow at the hanging loop. It is 12cm high, 7cm wide and 1cm deep, small enough to sit neatly between baubles yet detailed enough to reward a closer look.

We think it looks its best on a traditional tree, where the red, green and brown sit alongside glass baubles, wooden ornaments and warm white lights. It is just as useful away from the tree: tie it to a garland along the mantelpiece, hang it from a dresser knob or a door handle, or add it to a wreath for a woodland touch. As a Christmas gift it is a lovely extra, tied onto a wrapped present in place of a tag or tucked into a stocking.

The plaque is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine detail well: you can see it in the texture of the fur, the points of the antlers and the edges of the leaves. It is slim at 1cm deep, so it lies close to the branch. To keep it looking good, dust it with a soft dry cloth. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue and store it flat in a box so the ribbon and foliage stay neat for next year. Hang it at eye level so the reindeer gets noticed.
