What's happened to the angels?!

I need a new tree topper. I've had an angel for years but sadly got broken last year. Have been searching high and low online and can't find an angel anywhere! Stars seem to be the favourite choice with a few fairies Hmm thrown in there. Are angels on top of the tree not a thing anymore? Sad

I just searched ebay and there are loads. New and vintage.

LubaLuca · 30/10/2021 09:00

There are loads on Amazon, of varying degrees of tackiness.

Sea62648 · 30/10/2021 09:01

Ahhhh i didn't even think to check eBay!! Shock thanks!!

I'd checked Amazon and couldn't find anything I liked. All the ones I've come across have feathers on which I don't want

Agree, so hard to find a nice angel. We got one a couple of years ago in TKMaxx, it's not exactly what I wanted, but not the worst!
Or make your own. Find a nice doll - maybe old from a charity shop - and dress it yourself. All my childhood (and probably before that!) my mum had a really old doll that got 'refreshed' now and again with a new dress or wings. I think she still has it!

Etsy? Not on The High St? That's where I'd look.

Sea62648 · 30/10/2021 09:11

Etsy and not on the high street were my first places to look! I have a voucher for not on the high street so was really hoping to find one there!!

They're all a bit naff really. I think there's a gap in the market for nice, traditional, classy angels!

AlexinMotherland · 30/10/2021 09:22

I saw one in the range, wasn’t overly big, but like you say they’re not that common anymore which is why I noticed it.

Try UK Christmas world

HelebethH · 30/10/2021 09:25

There are several on WeRChristmas website. Not sure if they are your style. Also I noticed they were in our local garden last week

Happyelfjokeday · 30/10/2021 11:01

John Lewis might have some? They had some nice ones a few years ago

Hairwizard · 30/10/2021 11:12

Get your kids to make one? Grin

We used to make all those things growing up when at school.

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 31/10/2021 19:08

I looked for years. I eventually bought one in a random discount shop. Up close you can tell it’s cheap but looks ok from a distance.

OnTheHillNotOverIt · 31/10/2021 20:52

Are these Gisela Graham ones any good?

Ebay would be my suggestion too.
I remember my grandmother had the most Beautiful angel for her tree but its just not the norm anymore sadly

inappropriateraspberry · 01/11/2021 09:36

There are some more cutesy ones on Amazon like this - not so bling and feathery!

Or, if you're a Dr Who fan - I found a weeping angel topper!! 😮

Have a look on Etsy- loads available in every style you can think of.

UndertheCedartree · 01/11/2021 21:38

I'm pretty sure I saw some in John Lewis at the weekend.

KittenKong · 01/11/2021 21:41

You should always have an Angel. With red hair (because they do...). Maybe try a church Christmas card sale event?

Mybalconyiscracking · 01/11/2021 21:44

We’ve had an angel for years. She is a terrible snob, you can tell from her face that she thinks our tree isn’t good enough for her and that our whole family is totally beyond the pale.

MyGardenIsFlooded · 01/11/2021 21:47

Try your local garden centre, I got a lovely wire based glittery non feathery one.
