Pink Pastel Candyland King Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 12 in by Wizardi F07M14-30-N01703 pink stand

Add a sugary sparkle with the Pink Pastel Candyland King, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a sweet-shop king in a sky blue crown set with gems and topped with a pink pompom, a fluffy white beard, and a pink jacket with a blue front and white buttons. He holds a striped candy cane staff, with blue-and-white striped legs and lilac boots dotted with rhinestones on a pink base.

A little collector's folklore: in the Land of Sweets, the candy king rules from a palace of spun sugar, and collectors say a pastel king on the shelf keeps the cookie jar full all season.

Why this nutcracker: if your Christmas is pink, pastel or nursery-soft, he matches it beautifully where traditional red would clash. He is lovely on a pink tree or a little girl's shelf, and at about 12 inches he fits almost anywhere.

In the box: one Pink Pastel Candyland King nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and rhinestone accents, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Collect all four pastel stands in the series — pink, green, blue and purple (F07M14-30-N01703) — or pair him with the larger pink king (F07M14-29-N01703 pink stand). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 30 cm tall (11.8 in). Pink Christmas shelf and nursery decor, and a sweet gift for anyone who loves pink and pastel colours.
