Standing Straw Deer Plastic Christmas Decoration 13cm - Brown

This standing deer decoration brings a little woodland charm to the Christmas season, with a bristly straw-look coat in warm light brown, a soft cream chest and antlers dusted in gold glitter. It is made from plastic, textured to look like bundled straw, and it stands squarely on four legs with a small black nose and bright black eyes. At 13cm, it is a small piece, easy to place wherever the house wants a festive touch. A fine sparkle of glitter runs across its back and flanks too, so it catches the glow of fairy lights or a nearby lamp.

Because it is freestanding, it needs no hook or wall. Set it on a mantelpiece among greenery and pine cones, on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a sideboard, or beside a stack of wrapped presents under the tree. Its brown and cream tones sit happily with rustic, Scandinavian or traditional schemes, alongside natural wood, white ceramics and soft woollen throws. Its small size also makes it a thoughtful little Christmas gift, easy to slip into a stocking or add to a festive hamper, and a gentle way to bring the woods indoors for December.

The deer is made from plastic, with its straw-look texture running from its ears down to its hooves, a paler cream chest and glitter worked into the antlers and coat. As good practice, dust it now and then with a soft dry brush or cloth, handle the antlers gently, and keep it indoors and dry. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue paper and store it in a box, ready to bring out again each Christmas. For a fuller woodland scene, we like to group it with other small woodland pieces of different heights, or let it stand alone on a narrow shelf.
