Description
This snowy plastic house light-up decoration brings a little winter village scene indoors, with a green wreath tied with a red bow on the front door and an LED that lights it from inside. The white house is dusted with glitter, its roof heaped with snow that drips over the eaves, and a chimney rises at one side. Arched windows flank the tall front door, a round window sits in the gable, and two frosted fir trees stand behind a white picket fence either side of the steps. It stands 18.6cm tall, 21.5cm wide and 14cm deep, a neat size for a shelf or mantelpiece.
We like it on a mantelpiece, sideboard, deep windowsill or hall table through the Christmas season, where it makes a cheerful focal point once the evenings draw in. Set it among greenery and baubles, or start a small tabletop village with it: the white finish sits happily beside silver, gold or traditional red and green. As a light it is for dry rooms indoors, so keep it in a living room, dining room or hallway rather than a porch or bathroom. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves dressing their home for the season.
The house stands freestanding on its own flat base, so it needs no fixings, and the LED runs on two LR44 button cell batteries, a small type that is easy to find. The glitter is part of its charm, so lift it by the base rather than the roof and keep it away from damp. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush now and then. When the season ends, take the batteries out and wrap it in tissue in a sturdy box so the snowy roof and fence stay crisp for next winter. For a gift, add a festive card and tuck it under the tree.
