A delightfully kitsch snow globe for the tree, and a welcome change from the glass baubles the cat sends flying every December. Speckled pale blue acetate does a convincing job of snowflakes swirling in water, with pearlescent colours and slightly irregular shapes that give it the feel of a Christmas fairytale.

Hang it on the tree, from a shelf or on a window handle, wherever it brightens things up. Unlike glass, it can take a fall without breaking, which makes it a good choice for homes with children or pets. Hand assembled and designed in Paris by Coucou Suzette, it is a lovely treat for yourself or an easy Secret Santa present. Each piece comes from a different sheet of acetate, so the colour varies slightly from one to the next.
