WDS Wondrous Light-Up Ceramic Christmas Village House, 7 in

A glazed white ceramic cottage with fine gold trim and cut-out windows that glow once you drop batteries into the base — about 7 inches tall and 6 across, so it reads as a centrepiece rather than a trinket. One good ceramic house looks deliberate on a mantel or sideboard in a way that a boxed set of resin miniatures never does, and the warm light through the windows is what keeps it on the old-fashioned side of festive.

Good to know: Battery-powered rather than plug-in, so switching it on and off is on you — and at 7 inches this is one house, not a village. Buy two if you want a street.
