12 large red and gold shatterproof baubles, 8 cm, 3 finishes

About this product

Twelve plastic baubles in red and gold, each 80 mm (8 cm) across, with the full pack weighing 0.38 kg. Three finishes are mixed in the set: shiny, matte and glitter. The seller describes the plastic as shatterproof and presents it as an alternative to glass.

• A hanging string is already attached to each bauble, so there is no threading to do.
• The seller says they hang without weighing down branches and suit standard-size trees.
• Homes, hotels, restaurants, offices, parties and weddings are named as indoor uses.
• The style is listed as traditional, and no batteries are involved.

What to use it for

Large baubles at 8 cm fit a tree of 6ft or taller, where they can go on the outer branches. On a small tree they would look oversized.

Care and safety

Dust them with a dry cloth and put them away with the strings coiled loosely, so the strings do not tangle.
