Description
This mini nativity set is a complete Christmas nativity scene that fits in a 9.5 x 6cm gold tin, for $29.81. Open the lid to a starry night sky and stand the small 3D-printed figures in front of it - Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus in the manger, the three kings, a shepherd, a donkey and a sheep, as pictured. Close it up and the whole scene packs away in the tin.
A traditional nativity set takes up a sideboard, has a dozen fragile pieces and lives in a box in the garage eleven months of the year. This pocket nativity scene keeps the story of Christmas somewhere you will see it every day - a desk, a bedside table, a windowsill - and it travels: take it to Grandma's, to church, or in a suitcase for Christmas away from home.

What Is in a Nativity Set?
A nativity set shows the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The core figures are Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger, usually joined by the shepherds who came from the fields, the three wise men or kings bringing gifts, and animals from the stable such as a donkey and sheep. This mini set includes all of these, as pictured, scaled down to fit in a tin.
Where Should You Put a Mini Nativity Scene?
Somewhere it will be seen - beside the Christmas tree, on a mantel or hall table, on your desk at work, or on a child's bedside table as part of the Advent story. Because it is small and self-contained, it also suits a caravan, a hospital bedside or a nursing home room.
Is a Mini Nativity Set Suitable for Children?
It is a decoration rather than a toy. The figures are small and could be a choking hazard, so it suits older children who can handle it carefully. For younger children, let an adult open the tin and set up the scene with them while telling the Christmas story.
Buyers are typically families who want a nativity scene without the space a large set takes, grandparents and godparents looking for a faith-based Christmas gift, Sunday school and church groups, and people spending Christmas away from home.
