Know before you buy
The tail is finished with a chalk-paint surface. You can use standard chalk or a liquid chalk marker to write your message, which can then be wiped clean with a damp cloth if you need to make adjustments.
At 7 inches tall and made of resin, it has some weight to it. It is best suited for the sturdier branches of a full-sized Christmas tree or a dedicated ornament display stand.
Yes, this ornament arrives in its original gift box, which is ideal for both safe storage and gifting.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The hand-painted resin finish and chalk-paint surface are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight.
You can gently wipe the resin surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the hand-painted details.
