Mrs. Claus with Treat Tray Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M6-6 Gnom

Welcome the real boss of the North Pole with Mrs. Claus, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a sweet, rosy-cheeked Mrs. Claus in a red Santa hat with white fur and holly, round gold-rimmed glasses, white curls and a frilly lace collar. She wears a red-and-white striped dress trimmed with white fur and holds a green tray of Christmas treats with a little gingerbread house and a candy cane, standing on a round red base.

A little collector's folklore: every Christmas story agrees that Santa could never make it round the world without Mrs. Claus keeping the workshop running and the cookies baking. Collectors say she belongs in the kitchen — she is the one who makes sure the milk and cookies are ready for Santa.

Why this nutcracker: if your collection is full of soldiers and kings, she adds warmth, humour and a friendly face. Her treat tray makes her perfect for the kitchen, the cookie table or a baking-themed Christmas, and at 15 inches tall she holds her own on a counter, hutch or mantel.

In the box: one Mrs. Claus nutcracker in painted wood with faux-fur trim and a fixed treat tray, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Stand her beside the cookie jar or coffee station, pair her with a Santa nutcracker such as the Festive Santa (F07M6-6), or group her with the baker nutcrackers. 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 and mantel decor, and a sweet gift for grandmothers, bakers and nutcracker collectors.
