The one decoration on the tree you'll want to squeeze. This reindeer is part of Legami's Oh-Oh-Ohrnaments range — plush characters built to replace the glass bauble with something softer, sillier and far more durable.
He's about 9cm across, 22 grams, and made from a stretchy 95% polyester and 5% elastane knit over a soft polyester fibre filling. The heaviest of the three we've taken in, which in practice just means he's the most satisfyingly solid in the hand. A ribbon loop is stitched in, so he goes straight onto a branch.
The appeal is partly that he's a reindeer and partly that he cannot break. Trees in family houses take a beating — cats, toddlers, the hoover, the annual struggle to get the thing back in its box — and plush decorations come through all of it. They also pack away without needing tissue paper round each one.
Reindeer tend to be the first to go out of any Christmas range, so don't leave him too long. Pop into 22 Burgate in Canterbury to see the Oh-Oh-Ohrnaments on the tree in the shop, or order online for UK delivery.

FAQ
How big is it?
Roughly 9cm in every direction — comfortably bigger than it looks in a photograph, and about the size of a satsuma.
Is it hard-wearing enough for a family tree?
That's rather the point. It's soft all the way through, so there's nothing to chip, crack or shatter if it comes off the branch.
Can I collect the whole range?
There are several Oh-Oh-Ohrnaments characters. We carry a selection and it changes as the season goes on, so it's worth asking what's in.
Is it a toy?
No — it's sold as a decoration and isn't age-rated as a toy. Soft and shatterproof, but it belongs on the tree.
Does it make a good gift?
A good stocking filler, and a nicer finish to a wrapped present than a shop-bought bow.
Care
- Surface clean only — do not machine wash
- Keep away from open flames and lit candles
- Store flat or loosely boxed so the plush doesn't crush
- Decorative item, not a toy
