Holiday Elf with Candy Cane Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 14 in by Wizardi F07M6-7

Welcome one of Santa's helpers with the Holiday Elf, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a cheerful elf with a big smile, rosy cheeks and pointed ears, in a red-and-white striped cone hat with a green crown brim and a peppermint medallion. He wears a red jacket with a white stripe, a green collar and shorts with a peppermint buckle, and red, white and green striped stockings, holding a candy cane staff topped with a swirly lollipop on a red base.

A little collector's folklore: Santa's elves work all year in the North Pole toy shop, and collectors say an elf on the shelf — or the mantel — reports back on who has been good.

Why this nutcracker: if you love a playful, kid-friendly Christmas, his happy face and candy colours make him an instant favourite. He brings a touch of the North Pole to a playroom, mantel or entryway.

In the box: one Holiday Elf nutcracker in painted wood with a candy cane staff, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Pair him with the smaller elf nutcrackers (F07AM9-18-N01851A, B, C and D) or the elf ornament set (F07AM9-36-N01851A). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 35 cm tall (13.8 in). Playful Christmas mantel and playroom decor, and a fun gift for kids and families.
