A fluffy white snowy owl ornament with round amber eyes and a small dark beak, perched on a short twig with a gold loop for hanging. Soft enough that everyone who walks past will pet it, and composed enough to act like it doesn't mind.
Tuck one into the branches of the tree, line a few along a mantel garland, or set one on a Yule altar with pine, candles, and a bit of evergreen. Snowy owls keep watch through the longest nights of the year, which makes this one good company for the season that turns back toward the light.
At under $10, it's an easy add-on for the bird lover, the woodland-tree builder, or anyone who could use something soft on a dark December evening. Buy one, or start a small parliament.
