Cardinals mean a great deal to many families, and a glowing tree hung with bright red ones makes a gift that lands close to the heart. The clear, icy tree lights from within while glitter swirls continuously, and its snowy white base keeps the scene wintry well after Christmas has passed.

The built-in timer does the remembering, so it glows on its own schedule on a mantel, an entry table or a kitchen windowsill. A grandmother who fills the bird feeder every morning will treasure a RAZ Imports cardinal tree of her own. Carry one in to Christmas dinner at a friend's house, or keep it at home to brighten January.
