Description
By the garden gate stood the smallest snowman on the street, hardly taller than a watering can. The Dupont twins had built him in a hurry before supper, and they had run out of snow before he was finished. But what he lacked in size, he made up for in dedication. When the neighbours left presents by the gate for the twins, he guarded them all night, chin up, carrot nose pointed proudly at the road. Not a single parcel went missing. The twins gave him an extra button the next morning, for bravery.
This porcelain snowman with his presents is a perfect tribute to small-but-mighty friends everywhere. He is a lovely gift for a little one, a younger sibling, or anyone who gives generously despite having little time. His compact scene fits beautifully beneath a tabletop tree, on a bedside table, or nestled among wrapped gifts on a sideboard. He also makes a heartwarming present for a volunteer who spends the holidays collecting toys and gifts for others.
