Ski Goggles Skier Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-71-N01852A

Hit the slopes with the Ski Goggles Skier, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a skier in a fuzzy tan beanie with a white pompom and silver ski goggles, a peaceful closed-eyed smile, black faux-fur hair and beard, and a white jacket with a navy front and gold epaulettes. He holds a wooden ski at his side, with navy trousers and tan boots on a white base.

A little collector's folklore: skiing holidays in the snowy mountains became a winter tradition more than a century ago, and collectors say this skier never misses the first snowfall of December.

Why this nutcracker: if you love skiing, mountain cabins or a cosy winter look, he is a fun, unusual piece. The fuzzy hat and goggles make him instantly recognisable, and at 15 inches he suits a ski lodge, cabin or mantel.

In the box: one Ski Goggles Skier nutcracker in painted wood with faux-fur hair and beard and a wooden ski, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Collect the winter series with the alpine skier and the winter traveler (F07AM9-71-N01852C and B). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Ski lodge and cabin Christmas decor, and a fun gift for skiers and mountain lovers.
