2010 Going Fast and last week for ground shipping!

Just a quick update – our 2010 nutcrackers are selling out more quickly than usual because our distributors are carrying less inventory than usual!    If you see something you want to order, do it before it sells out.  :)

Also – last week for our $9.95 ground shipping to arrive before Christmas!  Easy link below to go shopping!

We also have Schaller Candy Containers, and non-name brand German nutcrackers that are a steal!  Ulbricht and Steinbach are very well known of course, but we also carry KWO and some Erzebirge region nutcrackers – worth checking out! :)

Back to work – this IS our busiest week of the year!

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Favorite Series

What is your favorite Steinbach series of nutcrackers?  I have 3 that I don’t miss the next nutcracker in the series!  First, for all of you who know me, the Steinbach Disney Series collection.   No surprise for most of you!The two Mickeys that are in it so far are beautiful!    Second one again, is not surprising - Star Wars Nutcrakcers – I LOVE the Darth Vader Nutcracker & the Yoda Nutcracker! – can’t wait for the next one!!  (how do you now love the little Yoda nutcracker???)

But for classic Christmas nutcrackers and the beauty that Steinbach can create, I just adore the Steinbach 12 Days of Christmas Nutcracker collection!  The newest one is “Steinbach Nutcracker 12 Days of Christmas Part 7″ which is 10 Lords a Leaping.  (a few of the earlier ones covered more than one day!)  My favorite of this collection is still the very first one, “Steinbach Pear Tree Santa” – Pictured below!

More highlights of the 2010 Nutcrackers to come – let me know what you like!  Who do you prefer?  The more well known Steinbach or his rival, Ulbricht?  Both makers of fabulous authentic German nutcrackers, each has his own style.  Or KWO?   Another fab German nutcracker making company??
