Pastel Band Christmas Wooden Nutcracker Ornaments 5 in Set of 4 by Wizardi F07AM9-35-N01820B

Strike up a pastel Christmas with this set of four wooden nutcracker ornaments by Wizardi — a little marching band in candy pink, mint and white. One plays a white trumpet, one strums a pink guitar, one holds a pan flute and the fourth beats a mint drum, each with a fluffy white beard, a painted crown or tall band cap, and a striped drum-shaped base. Silver loops let them hang from the tree.

A little collector's folklore: in the old Christmas tales, toys come to life once the house is asleep, and the musicians are always the first to wake. Collectors say a band on the branches keeps the tree merry all night — you just have to be very quiet to hear it.

Why this set: if you decorate in pink, blush or pastel rather than classic red and green, these four bring the nutcracker tradition to your colour scheme. Each one holds a different instrument, so the set reads as a real little band, and they look just as sweet on a white or pink tree as they do lined up on a shelf.

In the box: four painted wooden nutcracker ornaments with white faux-fur beards, each with a silver hanging loop and its own drum base, packed in a red gift box. Decorative ornaments, not for cracking nuts. Ready to hang, no assembly needed.

Hang them close together so the band plays as a group, stand them along a mantel with pastel baubles, or tuck them into a pink Christmas centrepiece. Dust with a soft, dry brush and store in the box after the holidays. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 12.5 cm tall each (5 in). Pastel Christmas tree and shelf decor, and a sweet gift for music lovers, nutcracker collectors and anyone with a pink Christmas tree.
