Santa in Vintage Car Snow Globe with Gifts 5cm - Red & White

This cheerful snow globe puts Santa behind the wheel of a red vintage car, one hand raised in greeting while flecks of white snow drift around him inside the clear globe. The car is an open-top roadster with a silver windscreen, a silver grille and bumper, round gold headlamps and dark tyres with gold stars on silver hubs. A green and gold wreath tied with a gold bow sits on the bonnet, and a striped candy cane and wrapped presents ride along behind Santa. Bright red is the main colour, set off by the white of his beard, his trim and the snow, with silver and gold picking out the details. It measures 6.5cm tall, 8.2cm wide and 5cm deep.

With its compact footprint it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a hall table, and it is small enough to tuck among other festive decorations without crowding them. It stands freely on its four wheels, so it needs no hook, nail or wall fixing, and you can move it from room to room as the season goes on. The vintage car gives it a playful, nostalgic feel that suits a traditional Christmas scheme, and the clear globe catches the glow of fairy lights nearby.

The car and figure have a glossy painted finish, with touches of gold glitter on the wreaths. Give the globe a gentle shake and the snow lifts and swirls before settling slowly around Santa again. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and handle it with care, lifting it by the car rather than the globe. Keep it indoors, out of strong direct sunlight, and when the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it upright in a box. It makes a cheerful little present too, small enough to wrap easily and ready to come out again every December.
