The whole ballet, stitched small across five ivory ovals with scalloped edges. The soldier holds his post in a red coat and navy hat, one ballerina rises under a cloud of pale blue, another waits behind a pink bow wider than she is, a dancer in mint tights lifts both arms overhead, and a green tree glints with gold dots, a red present at its foot and a red gingham bow at the very top.
The soldier can take a Tuesday morning, and the tree can wait for the night of the show. Two clips in, and your kid moves through December with a small snowy stage above each ear.

Why we love it
The embroidery is stitched with real patience, right down to the gold buttons and the pointed toes, so these read as keepsakes rather than party favors. They come out of the box every December and go straight back in on New Year’s, a little worn, a little more loved.
