Sleigh & Presents Trinket Box with Hinged Lid - Green & Gold

This sleigh trinket box is piled high with Christmas presents in tiny, colourful detail: a little teddy bear, red and white candy canes, a gold horn, a parcel tied with a red bow and a small fir tree tipped with a gold star. The sleigh itself is a deep teal green, edged in gold, with gold holly leaves and red berries running along its sides and a row of glinting clear studs following the curve of the rim. It rides on gold runners that curl into open scrollwork at the front and back. At 7cm tall, 7cm wide and 4cm deep, it is a small piece that sits happily in the palm of your hand.

Set it on a mantelpiece, a dressing table or a bedside table through the festive season, where its colours sit well among greenery, candles and cards. Because it is so compact, it tucks onto a narrow shelf or into a festive arrangement without crowding it, and it needs nothing more than a flat surface to stand on. We think it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, either on its own or with a small treasure tucked inside, and it is the kind of piece that comes out of the decorations box every year.

The whole load of presents forms the lid, which lifts on a hinge to reveal a smooth white interior, just right for a ring, a pair of stud earrings or a tiny keepsake. The lid closes neatly back over the sleigh, so the piece looks like a decoration first and a box second. To keep the gold bright and the colours clear, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. For a gifting touch, slip a folded note or a small piece of jewellery inside before you wrap it, so the surprise comes when the lid is lifted.
