Cookie Baker Chef with Rolling Pin Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-11-N01270B

Get the Christmas baking started with the Cookie Baker Chef, a wooden nutcracker by Wizardi — a jolly baker in a soft white chef's hat with a red gingham band, a fluffy white beard, and a red jacket with white snowflake details. He holds a wooden rolling pin and a star cookie cutter, with a white apron pocket full of gingerbread cookies, a red gingham skirt and red trousers on a snowy red base.

A little collector's folklore: cut-out Christmas cookies have been baked in December for hundreds of years, and collectors say the first cookie of the season always goes to the baker on the shelf.

Why this nutcracker: if you love Christmas baking, he is the perfect kitchen centrepiece — the rolling pin and cookie cutter make him instantly recognisable. At 15 inches he stands proudly on a counter or open shelf, and makes a lovely gift for the family baker.

In the box: one Cookie Baker Chef nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and a fabric chef's hat, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.
