Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is designed as a traditional candy container. The figure features a hollow interior that can be accessed to store small holiday treats.
While the item is listed with a hanging mounting type, its dimensions of 7.75 inches make it a substantial piece. It is best suited for sturdy branches or as a decorative accent on a mantel or tabletop.
Due to the delicate nature of the paper mache and glitter, avoid using water or cleaning agents. If dust accumulates, use a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air to clean the surface.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The paper mache construction is not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its finish.
Because each piece is handcrafted in Germany using traditional methods, there may be slight variations in the detailing. This artisanal process ensures that every Santa is unique.
