Gingerbread Man Ornaments, Set of 12 Soft PVC Christmas Tree Decorations

Twelve little gingerbread men in soft PVC, each one molded with the uneven crumb of a real baked cookie, white icing piped around the wrists and ankles, and a round red button for a nose. Thread them onto the tree with the twelve gold cords that come in the set, and the branches look as if somebody spent the afternoon baking.

They are not cookies, which is the whole point. A real gingerbread ornament softens and crumbles on the branch, and a glass one rarely survives the first knock. These are soft, flexible and not easy to break, and they pack away flat when the tree comes down.

Up close, they look baked rather than printed

A printed cut-out looks flat from a step away. Here the whole front is raised. A fine, irregular crumb texture covers the body, and the icing, bow ties, scarves and peppermint buttons sit on top of it as smooth separate layers that catch the light from the tree. The eyes are two black dots, the nose is a little red button, and the smile is pressed into the surface.

The back is plain, smooth and flat, in the same brown as the front, so a piece that turns on its cord still looks tidy. Each one has a small loop molded into the top of the head, and the gold cord threads straight through it and knots around a branch.

Two sets with two different moods

The Red and Green set is a crowd of characters: eleven different designs in one warm biscuit brown, with the boy carrying a little green tree appearing twice. There is a girl with a red hair bow, a boy in a red waistcoat, one holding a wrapped present, one with holly across his chest, and one waving with a candy cane in his other hand. It suits a tree that already has plenty of red and green on it.

The Red and White set is simpler and more graphic. It has four designs, three of each, in two shades of gingerbread: a dark cocoa brown and a pale honey tan. The trim is only red and white, with striped scarves, bow ties, peppermints, a candy cane and a red swirl. Hung together they read as one candy-striped theme, and that looks especially good on a white, silver or natural wood tree.

Small enough for the garland, the wreath and the gifts

At about three inches tall, they are small enough to hang along a pine garland on the mantel or tuck into a wreath on the wall. They also make a good gift tag, tied onto a wrapped present for somebody to keep. Twelve pieces go a long way. Put a few on the tree, a few on the stairs and the rest on the presents, and the same gingerbread theme carries from room to room.
