Lovers of blue and white will spot the twist at once: three nutcracker soldiers, each balancing a blue-and-white ginger jar on his hat. They stand in red and blue coats inside a lighted window framed by a glittered gold ribbon and bow, set into a red plaid gift-bag shape with gold rope handles. It suits a hostess who loves traditional plaid, a nutcracker collector with a shelf of soldiers, or your own mantel all season. It is a present, by way of RAZ Imports, that stays out long after the real ones are opened on Christmas morning.
