Santa Figurines Collectibles

Resin is a great choice not only in terms of durability but also in terms of realism and aesthetics. Figurine collectibles crafted from resin are usually designed with intricate details that can’t be achieved on other types of figurines. In addition, resin is strong and solid and has a rough but beautiful texture that is sure to attract the eyes.

That said, porcelain figurines also feature great precision in detail but they’re fragile and can easily break or shatter.

Likewise, wood figurine collectibles are often aesthetically pleasing due to their natural beauty but they are more vulnerable to damage from fire.

The best way to store your Santa figurines collectables is of course, safely. This means using the right packaging and also taking care while putting them away. If you have fragile figurines, such as those made from porcelain, it is best to wrap them individually in paper or bubble wrap.

If using bubble wrap use some tape to secure the ends and keep your bubble wrap from unwrapping. Once you've got your figurines safely wrapped up, store them in a safe place. This is especially when it comes to wooden figurines that are prone to damage from fire.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Anticipation is a large part of your enjoyment of the season, so spending time decorating with your loved ones can certainly add to your holiday cheer.

Santa figurines are whimsical and timeless decor items which will be beloved by all who see them, year in and year out! In order to hit those maximum holly jolly vibes, however, you'll want to choose your statuette carefully.

While simply having a Santa figurine in your house or yard during the holiday season is certainly merry enough, it might just add that little extra bit of magic to purchase a Santa with features special for you and yours. There are many different types of Santas, but the ones we've seen most frequently are:

Life size 

Imagine the excitement of young ones walking by on the road when they see a true-to-scale Santa in your yard! As an additional bonus, these larger Santas can be seen all the way from the road if you have a deeper yard.

Lighted

Powered by LEDs for ultimate ease, these Santa figurines can be seen chuckling and delivering toys even in the middle of the night! Your festive curb appeal knows no hours with a lighted Santa!

Outdoor use

Some Santas are specifically engineered and covered with specific coatings so they can withstand the rough weather the winter months often display. If you're planning on putting your Santa figurines outdoors, purchasing ones specifically rated for outdoor use may help them last longer.

Animated and Musical

For extra holiday cheer, consider purchasing a Santa that moves! Depending on what you're looking for, you can find Santas that swing, that dance, and even ones that ride along a track on vintage bicycles! 

In the mood for a serenading Santa? Luckily, you can find Santa figurines containing music boxes which play a wide array of holiday music.

Incense Holder

If you're searching for something that smells like the holiday season, you're in luck---Santa figurines which double as incense holders can be just the thing to combine ultimate decor, productivity, and aromatherapy.

Santa figurines are available in all of the colors of the rainbow---even plaid, purple, and pink! 

If you're aiming for traditional festive holiday colors, you'll want to concentrate on red, green, gold, and white. Any other colors should be kept to a minimum, or used for accents only (such as a black monogram, or Santa's twinkling blue eyes). 

However, if you're going for a modern or eclectic look, you can choose any color you'd like! Consider where you want to display your Santa figurine, however. If you're displaying it outside, for example, you may wish to steer clear of blue, brown, or green---that will cause your Santa to camouflage into the natural flora too much and he may not be shown off to his best advantage.

Santa figurines come in any number of materials, including fabric and clay. However, in order for these figurines to last from year to year and weather the elements appropriately, especially if you're displaying them outside, you'll want to select a hardier material. Good materials to select may include:

• Plastic: This lightweight material is cheaper than the alternatives, so your investment will go further; however, just know that you will likely have to anchor your Santa figurine to the ground in some way to ensure that it doesn't tip over.

• Glass: Glass is a beautiful way to make traditional Santa figurines a little classier with its crystal-clear sparkle! While it wouldn't be advisable to have glass figurines outside, properly cared-for glass Santa figurines will last for years---long enough to potentially be family heirlooms. 

• Metal: Metal may not be the most glamorous material you're considering, but it's incredibly hardy, can be painted, and is light enough for children to play with if that is your goal! If you go with a metal piece, just make sure that you follow the manufacturer's directions in terms of weatherproofing (no one wants a rusty Santa!). 

• Resin: Resin is a composite blend of moldable materials engineered to be stronger and denser than plastic. It can mimic the look of high-quality stone and marble, yet because it's a solution and not a pure product, it can cost much less!

Think about where you're going to want to put your Santa figurine. If it's indoors, metal or glass may be good choices, while plastic and resin figurines are made to survive low temperatures and high condensation.

• Consider where you're planning on keeping your Santa figurine before you buy. If you're going to keep your Santa figurine outside, then plastic or resin are likely better materials to focus upon. 
• Think about what entertainment value you're going for in terms of the features you'll want to see on your Santa. Do you want a caroling Santa figurine? What about a nutcracker, for more specific productivity?
