Nativity Scenes are a thoughtful gift, but many people are looking for one for their kids or a new home. Many become so much a part of a family's traditions that they become heirlooms. Here's a few in low to mid-range prices that can meet either intention.
This beautiful, understated and well known brand Willow Tree has created a Nativity set. Six hand-painted resin figures, tallest is 9.5”h. Includes Mary holding baby Jesus, Joseph, a shepherd, a donkey and two sheep. Packed in one fitted box. $88.95 on AMAZON.
What would Christmas be without a little Peanuts? Of course, they make several nativity sets. Here's one for only $20, on AMAZON. This is a fun thing to have on your desk just to cheer you... if you do, expect more visitors to your cubicle!
LENOX First Blessings Set, made with the quality we've all come to know. Choose independent pieces to make your set, ranging from $80-180 per figurine. At publication, figures are about HALF OFF at Macys for their Black Friday sale.
Or get this lovely First Blessing Nativity 3-Piece Holy Family Figurine Set (Lenox 6238430) on AMAZON for $138.
There is also this very pretty, signature Lennox 4-6" high porcelain set at Bed Bath and Beyond for $99. You can use one of their 20% off coupons by giving them your email, if you have not been bombarded by them via snail mail already! Those who collect the Lenox dish ware may appreciate that these are accented with the same evergreen and berry trim, with gold accents.
From Kurt Adler, who has become synonymous with modern-day Christmas... this six inch setMade of resin and wood. The manger frame plus six 6" figures (Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the Three Wise Men). Beautifully colored, appealing for realists, but made from resin so fairly kid proof to boot. $58 on AMAZON.
TIP: Kurt Adler makes larger sets. Each have slightly different features (figurine heights, more stable animals, an angel). Google around to find at Kohls, Target, JCPenny's and on Amazon, among others.
Fisher Price's Little People nativity set is a fun way for young children to discover the story of Christmas. It's available at Target and Walmart but almost half the price at $24.99 on Amazon. 25 play pieces and a fold-out manger.
