Gingerbread Men Tray Teacup Hat Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M14-43-XC4617D

Serve up Christmas cheer with this Gingerbread Men Tray nutcracker by Wizardi — a jolly host in a red hat topped with two stacked white teacups, a red jacket with peppermint-swirl buttons, a long white beard and a curled moustache. He holds out a candy-striped tray lined with smiling gingerbread men, with green trousers and black boots on a red base.

A little collector's folklore: the first gingerbread men were baked for royal guests, each one shaped to look like a visitor at court, and collectors say this nutcracker is still serving them. Keep a plate of real cookies beside him for Santa.

Why this nutcracker: if you love afternoon tea, baking or a gingerbread Christmas, he brings humour and personality to the kitchen or dining room. The teacup hat and cookie tray make him a real conversation piece, and at 15 inches he stands tall on a sideboard, hutch or tea cart.

In the box: one Gingerbread Men Tray nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and fixed teacups and tray, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Set him on the tea cart, kitchen hutch or dessert table, or group him with the other treat nutcrackers in the series (F07M14-43-XC4617A, B and C). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Christmas kitchen, tea and dining room decor, and a fun gift for bakers, tea lovers and nutcracker collectors.
