Description
This snowy mantel plaque spells out XMAS in chunky, freestanding letters, with a little robin perched on top to bring a cheerful festive note to the mantelpiece. The X and the A keep a soft natural tone, while the M and the S are a warm brick red, and every letter wears a white, sparkly cap of glitter snow that drips over its top edge. The robin stands on two slim black legs on the peak of the A, with a white chest, an orange beak and a red wing picked out with white stitch lines and a snowflake. It measures 11.5cm high, 24cm across and 2cm deep.
Being only 2cm deep, it suits the slim ledge of a mantelpiece best, but it is just as at home on a bookshelf, a sideboard, a dresser or a hallway table where guests see it as they come in. The natural and red colours sit happily beside traditional Christmas decorations and fresh greenery, and the robin gives it a warm, homely feel that works in a living room, a dining room or a kitchen. As a Christmas gift it is easy to wrap and easy to find a spot for, bringing a festive welcome to any home through December.
The letters stand on their flat bottom edges, so the plaque needs no hooks, nails or fixings, and it lifts away easily when the decorations come down. The glitter snow is part of its charm, so handle it by the sides of the letters rather than the snowy tops, and keep the robin upright when you move it. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and store it in a box between seasons. For a cheerful finishing touch, set it at one end of the mantelpiece with a sprig of holly beside it, or tuck it among the ornaments on a shelf so the robin peeks out.
