A Fontanini Nativity Set

We feature many Fontanini sets - they're one of the foremost "Presepi" makers in Italy, and still paint all their nativity figurines by hand.

This is one of their more inexpensive items, featuring just the three Holy Family figures. Standing 5" tall, they're ideal if you want to create your own stable scene - or if you just want a simple display without all the additional trappings.

The Baby Jesus can be removed from his crib, so if you want to follow Italian traditions and leave him out of the manger until midnight on Christmas Eve, you can. Children love being given the responsibility of placing him there on Christmas Day.

Like all Fontanini products, these would make an ideal gift for a young family just starting out. Their figurines will last for generations - buyers always remark on the fact that the colours remain vibrant year after year.

Novelty Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments

Purely for fun - why not hang a whole prosciutto from your tree this Christmas?!

These four glass tree ornaments are made by Kurt Adler, who has specialised in finding and importing detailed, humourous decorations from all over the world for over 70 years.

Measuring 4.5" tall, they're very typical of an Italian table: salami, prosciutto, oil and vinegar. They'd make a great whimsical touch to your festive home.

An amusing stocking-filler for an Italian foodie!
