Squirrel Resin Snow Globe on Natural Base 13.3cm - Brown & Clear

This resin snow globe sets a small ginger squirrel inside a clear round globe, sitting up on a snowy mound with its paws held together at its chest and its bushy tail curled up behind it, topped with a dusting of white snow. Fine iridescent glitter catches the light as it drifts around the figure. The globe rests on a brown base modelled like a scaled acorn cup, with green oak leaves and a little cluster of acorns gathered at the front. It stands 13.3cm tall and measures 10cm wide and 10cm deep, so it is a compact piece that still has plenty of detail to look at up close.

We think it suits a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bookshelf at Christmas, where the warm browns of the base sit happily alongside greenery, candles and twinkling lights. Its 10cm footprint means it fits on a windowsill, a hall table or a bedside table without crowding anything else. The woodland theme also carries it well beyond the festive days, so it can stay out through the colder months on a shelf or desk. As a Christmas gift, it is a cheerful choice for anyone fond of squirrels and the countryside in winter.

It is made of resin, and the moulding picks out fine detail in the fur, the snow-tipped tail and every scale of the acorn cup. The base sits flat, so the globe stands on its own on any level surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp one and dry it straight away. Lift it by the base with both hands, and keep it back from the edge of a shelf. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cosy Christmas gift, and on a festive table or a winter mantelpiece it adds a quiet woodland note.
