Robin Countdown to Christmas Plaque with Jingle Bell - Brown

This robin countdown plaque brings a little ceremony to the weeks before Christmas, with a cheerful robin perched on its top edge among sprigs of green pine and a red and white striped bow. The rectangular board is a warm natural brown with a woodgrain look, decorated with pine branches and cones in each upper corner, and it reads "Days Until Christmas" in white lettering over a flowing red script. Two stacks of red number tags hang from small rings on the left, so you set the count by changing the tags, and a white jingle bell tied with a second striped bow hangs from the lower edge. It measures 19cm tall, 24cm across and 3cm deep.

A twisted cord loops from each end of the top, so it hangs from a hook, a door or a dresser knob in the hallway, kitchen or living room, wherever the household passes each morning. Turning the number becomes a small daily ritual through December, and at 24cm across it is easy to read from across the room without taking over a wall. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a traditional decoration, and a simple way to bring the robin, a favourite British winter bird, into the home.

The robin is a cut-out figure that rises clear of the board's top edge, and the number tags lie flat against its face so the count stays neat and easy to see. Care is simple: dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry between Christmases, with the spare tags stored alongside so everything is together when the decorations come down from the loft. Hang it as December begins, or give it a week or two early as a gift, so the countdown is ready when it is wanted.
