A Passion for Collecting Nativity Sets–Passing it On
Hallmark itty bittys Nativity Set ($39.95)
Collecting Nativity Sets
I love to collect! My collection of collections is almost endless. Just a few of the things I collect are hearts, playmobile, office supplies, antique toasters and vintage cake stands. For the holidays, my focus turns to two massive collections. My collection of santas and my collection of nativity scenes. There really isn’t any room for snowmen or bells or sleighs because all my themes center around santa and nativity sets.
Passing on a Passion for Collecting
I have two adorable great nieces. I would love to send them a Christmas gift this year but given that this gift is coming from their Great-Aunt (yes I am THAT OLD), I feel it should be something long lasting and memorable versus just another toy. Because I think the Christmas story is so captivating and also the reason (for me) for the season, I want my great nieces to experience that fun as well.
However, my nieces are not quite two so I know I have to find a set that’s just perfect for small hands, so I set out for my local Hallmark Golden Crown Store. Luckily, my local Hallmark Golden Crown had sent me a brochure of all their newest holiday selections and coupled it with a 30% off one item coupon. Hallmark Gold Crown stores have always been a home for a variety of gifts, greetings cards, décor, gift presentation solutions and more — all of which are designed the make the holidays meaningful and memorable. (Most products are also available at Hallmark.com)
Once in the store, I was quickly drawn to the itty bitty Line from #Hallmark. Smaller is better: at least when it comes to itty bittys® from Hallmark! These tiny collectables are the perfect stocking stuffer or addition to a greeting card. Look at these cute Peanuts characters from the line. (Most individual itty bittys are $6.95)
Hallmark Itty Bittys Nativity
I immediately zeroed in on the Hallmark itty bittys nativity scene for my nieces. I had a peek of the itty bitty Nativity Set on line at Hallmark.com and I was pretty sure that I wanted that set for my little nieces. I mean HOW CUTE IS THIS?
Little hands will be so excited to set up this pocket-sized Nativity set, featuring a plush angel, Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. ($39.95)
The box turns into a manger scene and there is a little elastic so that the angel “flies” overhead in the sky. The set will be so easy for my little nieces to play with over and over each year. I will be able to add other nativity sets over the years but none as precious as this Hallmark itty bittys Nativity set. Watch my video to see itty bittys in action:
Those are cute! I love peanuts and the gang. The girls will love this Nativity set.
itty bitty are such a cute product line. For sure Hallmark is the place to go to shopping for the best holiday gifts and decorations.
We are going to Hallmark tonight! I am totally getting this
how totally cute. i love hallmark. this is the first time hearing about itty bittys but i love them.
Love this! I remember as a kid not being able to touch our nativity set because all the pieces were made out of porcelain. This one the kids can cuddle and love and no one has to worry.
Snagging one for the kids!
Since then I always buy Hallmark product because of its good quality.
How fun. A little holiday cheer that the kids won’t break.
I haven’t seen the Hallmark Itty Bittys before! This are cute I know my son would love them!
Oh this is adorable and would make a great baby-shower gift for friends that are having babies soon.
These are so cute! I’d love to get some for my kids. Hallmark does a great job all year round.
Oh my goodness, now this is an adorable nativity scene. My cousin just had a baby and this would be a great Baby’s 1st Christmas gift. Thanks so much for sharing. I will have to head out to Hallmark soon 🙂
Ironically I just got home from some late day Black Friday shopping and I went to my local Hallmark store for Snoopy things. They had a Peanuts nativity that was fantastic.
We have a Nativity scene that is carved out of wood. I love the idea of a younger kid friendly set so the younger kids are included as well. Such a thoughtful idea!
I recently saw these Itty Bitty’s at Hallmark and they are just darling! My daughter would definitely love the Elsa and Anna and I really like your idea of the nativity scene.
I love Hallmark. They always have such gorgeous pieces, and my grandma used to collect a bunch of stuff on a shelf in her favorite room in her house…. so I need to start for my kiddos!
Omgosh it is so cute!! I love Nativities as well!! So beautiful and can evoke amazing learning material in the future!
These are super cute. I love the Nativity set, but I’m also <3ing those Peanuts figures, too.
OMG, those are so adorable! I love tiny little stuffed figures like these.
Those are absolutely adorable – and they would make great things to put in the “quiet bag” for use by the little ones at our church!
This is an adorable nativity scene. These will be perfect for your nieces. We used to have a Hallmark store in town but it closed down.
