Christmas Gifts
The tree is up, the lights are tangled, and a few names on your list still have question marks beside them. Limoges Christmas boxes are the cure for that particular kind of December panic. Each one is hand-painted in France, hinged and arrives gift-boxed, so it can go straight under the branches with nothing more than a ribbon. It is the present that gets passed around the room on Christmas morning while the new sweaters stay folded in their tissue. Small enough for a stocking, lovely enough to come back out every single year.
Santa shows up in all his moods here, from a jolly fellow with a child on his lap to a sleigh piled high with toys and reindeer out front. Look for toy soldiers, wreaths of pine, bells ringing with cardinals and carolers, and stockings stuffed with teddy bears and presents. Some designs lean nostalgic, like a kid on a sled racing past snowy trees or a little letter to Santa. Others lean festive and grown-up, with champagne glasses raised for a merry toast. Lift any hinged lid and there is room for a ring, a note or one very small peppermint.
Plenty of families give one Christmas box every year and tuck a slip of paper inside with the date, so the collection turns into a calendar you can hold. Line the Santas along a windowsill, cluster snowy scenes on a cake stand, or give the manger pieces a quiet shelf of their own. They make thoughtful gifts for grandparents, teachers, neighbors and the friend who starts decorating before Thanksgiving. When the season ends, each one tucks back into its presentation box to wait for next year's reunion. Fair warning: guests will want to open every single lid.
