Looking for a new Nativity scene

[Tillygan60]

Am looking a smallish (about size of A4 sheet of paper) Nativity scene to display over Christmas...any ideas?
The one I've been using for the past 30 years has seen better days!
Thanks...budget up to £30

We got this one recently, a bit cutesy (reminds me of Happyland toys) but the kids love it.

This East of India set might be a bit small but in budget

I gave this one to my mum last year and she enjoyed adding pieces a day at a time https://www.rogerlaborde.com/collections/festive-pop-slot-sets/products/pop078?srsltid=AfmBOor0DrRdh0-mwjTXR26RG4_1rv2rGni4gjB3TrhVg9zvThgHeJXQO3w

there's a seller on etsy called makeitfantastic who does, er, fantastic ones

I got a really nice one from ebay -- marked as vintage but they don't exactly get much use so it was perfect. Worth a look on there.

Take a look at Holy Art that has lots of nativity scenes made from the olive trees wood from Bethlehem. 4.8 rating on Trustpilot. They have a range for under to over your budget so you can play around with the filters. You can sign up for a £20 off offer with a purchase of £60 or more to bring it down to £40 which is a tenner over budget.

I've not used this site but have bought my olive tree wood from Bethlehem nativity set through the church I attended and it is beautiful.

That’s got to go on the Christmas Tat thread for sure.

National Trust have a really cute felted mouse set I saw in their shop the other day.

nooooo, I have a Cativity set and its brilliant 😻 I mean yeah its stupid but unless you're religious all nativities are just dust gathering decorations, and they are really well made, they're not in the sparkly wine glass category 😆

Actually, I may have been a bit hasty. I read the Etsy reviews and people really do like them.

I have a Thun (North Italian pottery) Nativity scene in cream and gold. They also do red and gold. You can add all different characters to it or just keep the stable as is.

If you have Canva you could try generating your own? There maybe some templates in there and the paid version allows you to create images from scratch with their ai options.

My local TK Maxx/Homesense had several different styles of Nativity scenes. You might find something in your local one (if you have one).

Vinted have loads.

Westminster Abbey have this one

I bought a lovely knitted set in Ebay a few years ago. There are probably similar sets on Vinted or Eysy.

I saw some in the range this week

I have a small belleek china one which is beautiful. I’ll try and get a pic .

I’m afraid I can’t find an online pic of the one I have . I bought it half price a few years ago and it’s so pretty . I love setting it out every year . It is very small and all the pieces sit on a little tray .

not sure they ship to the UK?

I bought this set from Homesense a few years ago - it was much much cheaper. It’s really sweet. Definitely worth a look in there for this and other sets.
