Christmas Pudding
Catch me if you can.. this running gingerbread man is in a hurry to join his friends the cheeky little snowboy and snowdog (available on my etsy store). He has his candy swirl bag bulging with festive treats including a candy cane and lots of gummy drops. He’s toasty in his stripy bobble hat and matching scarf. This gingerbread man makes a wonderful addition to your christmas decorations.
He stands at approx 8″ from his feet to the top of of head.
