Description
This cheerful snow globe sets Santa in his armchair beneath a Christmas tree, with a little dog held in his arms and a wrapped gift at his feet. He wears his red suit and white beard, the tree is topped with a gold star, and a gentle shake sends a flurry of white snow drifting down over the scene. The globe sits on a round, decorated base: a window with snowflakes on its panes, framed by red curtains, a cream reindeer standing in front, small green trees on either side and presents and baubles around a brown rim. Red leads the colours, with green, cream, blue and gold picking out the details. It stands 8.5cm tall, 6.7cm across and 7.1cm deep, small enough to hold in one hand.
Being compact, it fits where a larger decoration would crowd the space: a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf, a bedside table or the corner of a desk. It stands freely on its flat base, so it needs no hook, nail or wall, and it looks just as good among other festive ornaments as it does on its own. We like it somewhere it will be picked up and shaken, because the falling snow is half the charm, and a scene this detailed rewards a closer look.
Looking after it is simple: dust the globe and base with a soft dry cloth, and wipe away any marks with a cloth that is barely damp. Shake it gently rather than hard, and always set it down on a flat, steady surface. When the decorations come down, wrap it in a soft cloth and store it upright in a box so it is ready to bring out again. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful small gift, and on a shelf of its own it brings a little festive scene to the room each December.
