Nutcrackers - Cheap gifts with Warmth
Timeless and mysterious, Nutcrackers are as much a part of the Christmas season as Eggnog and Yule Logs. Our Grandmothers and Grandfathers always had nutcrackers laying around the house for opening a variety of nuts. Christmas Nutcrackers add a special style and warmth to any home during the holiday season.
Gaining in huge popularity from the Nutcracker suite, some of the earliest nutcrackers were simple and functional. Always beautifully crafted in brass and wood, these carved Soldiers have emerged as an art form dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Nutcrackers carved into various characters took on the shape of animals, Snowmen, Dolls and of course our favorite tine Soldier.
