When I was little, we’d leave cookies and milk out for Santa Claus, but I was always more excited to leave carrots for his reindeer. Reindeer decorations are still some of my favorites to put up during the holidays.
Reindeer are versatile. If you leave a Santa Claus up in your home through January because the holidays have you all tuckered out, it will be noticeable. But deer are more forgiving that way. Unless they’re attached to a sleigh, most deer figurines can be left out all year round. If you’re not Christian, reindeer can be a more secular decoration choice for winter that still looks festive.
Highly detailed and heart-achingly adorable, this reindeer figurine complete with woodland creature friends is straight out of the your sweetest Christmas dreams. If one of Santa’s reindeer was also somehow a Disney princess–it would be this one.
The reindeer has a kind face, and festive red bridle and jingle bells. The workmanship and attention to detail is captivating and will have you turning this piece around in your hands to see every inch of it from the lifelike musculature of the reindeer to the tiny details on the raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, and owl.
This deer is covered in details with intricate swirling fur patterns and a thick, woolly neck. Even the feathers on the reindeer’s smallest cardinal friend are carefully defined and shaded. The piece is cast in a resin, polymer, and stone composite and stands at 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide.
We’ve seen a lot of lovely reindeer decorations that are fairly fragile that you’d want to keep away from small hands. This is an entirely different story. The Lifelike Stuffed Animal Deer from Melissa & Doug is the reindeer decoration that your little ones can hug, play with, and even toss down the stairs (to make it fly, of course) without the deer minding at all. It’s built to stand up all on its own, however it’s still soft and collapsible so this isn’t intended to be sat on.
With lush fur and detailed coloring, the Lifelike Stuffed Animal Deer is realistic enough to be a woodland friend to the kids or part of your holiday display. It’s a substantial size that is sure to wow the little ones this holiday. This deer is over three feet tall, 34 inches long, 17 inches across and weighs just under six pounds.
These resin reindeer are sold in a set of two with one standing and one laying down. and are gorgeous alone or together. The carvings capture exquisite details of with intricate decorative saddles. The finish makes then appear to be cast in burnished metal and each deer is hand-painted. The standing reindeer is 11.42 inches tall and 6.6 inches long while the sitting reindeer is 7.48 inches tall and 6.3 inches long.
This sweet, retro-style ceramic reindeer is cozy and elegant all at the same time. The gold antlers and glossy finish combined with the innocent expression of the reindeer bedecked in the natural beauty of evergreens will steal the show as a centerpiece. The attention to detail is impressive from the pink of the reindeer’s inner ears down to the veins of the holly leaves and each scalloped scale of the pine cones. This beautiful deer is 10 inches high and nine inches long.
A festive reindeer decoration doesn’t always have to be a statue. This holiday shower curtain brings a peaceful wintry scene to your home without taking up table space. The neutral white and blue is versatile and because it isn’t strictly Christmas themed, you can leave this snowy shower curtain on all winter if you like.
The water repelling shower curtain is PVC-free so it won’t have that nasty plastic smell that cheap shower curtains have. It’s machine washable as well as mold and mildew-resistant. You can use this alone or with a shower liner.
Wish your Santa’s reindeer decoration could fly? This candle holder comes close. All nine of Santa’s reindeer are represented in 2-D metal cut outs and arranged as though they taking off into the air. Four pairs of reindeer hold red glass votive candle holders for a warm, cozy glow. Candles aren’t included but you can pick up sets of unscented white votives or festive pine-scented votive candles online or in stores.
The holder arrives in two pieces (for easy shipping and storage) but easily slots together in no time. The reindeer fly 9.75 inches high and the entire piece is 16 inches long. The little ones will love this.
Reindeer are unique among deer species in that it’s not only stags who grow antlers. This sweet reindeer family is made of ceramic which has been electroplated with chrome for a bright shine. The stylized design of the reindeer make them great for all year round. You get three deer with this set and they aren’t just three of the same reindeer in different sizes.
Each reindeer is individual with slightly different head positions, antlers, and embellishments of an embossed floral pattern. The largest reindeer is 14.5 inches tall, the medium one is 11.25 inches tall, and the baby is 8.75 inches tall. Keep in mind that with the ceramic and electroplating that these will be fairly sturdy but heavy.
