Types of Christmas Tree Toppers, the Crowning Jewel
Angel Tree Toppers
The angel remains one of the most beloved choices. Representing the heavenly hosts, Bronner’s angels range from fiber-optic masterpieces that change color to soft, fabric-clad figures. They are particularly popular for those who prefer a graceful, classic silhouette.
Star Tree Toppers
Symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem, the star is a universal symbol of the season. Bronner’s offers everything from mirrored starbursts to clay-dough candy cane stars, ensuring a fit for both religious and secular displays.
Unique Tree Toppers
For those looking to break from tradition, Bronner’s excels in whimsical character toppers:
- Snowman Toppers: Often featuring a jolly snowman juggling snowballs (#1232037) or holding a cardinal (#1186649).
- Santa Toppers: Including 10-inch lighted Santas in burgundy robes (#1186218) or Victorian glass designs.
- Whimsical Choices: Look for Elf Hats (#1232046) or the ever-popular Grinch in a Cinch sets for a playful touch.
Practical Tips: Securing Your Topper
There is nothing more stressful than a leaning angel or falling star. To keep your topper standing tall:
- The No Tipsy Topper: Bronner’s sells specialized stabilizer rods (like #1174713) that strap to the trunk with Velcro to provide a solid base for heavy toppers.
- DIY Stability: Use green floral wire or fishing line to anchor the base of the topper to the main trunk of the tree rather than just the flimsy top branch.
- Separate Power: For lighted toppers, run a separate extension cord down the center of the tree to avoid putting weight and strain on your existing light strands.
Product Comparison
Choosing between four different stars? Bronner’s website features a Comparison Tool where you can select up to four items at once. This allows you to compare:
- Height: Ensure it won’t hit your ceiling.
- Power Source: Check if it is battery-operated or requires a plug.
- Material: Compare glass, plastic, or fabric for durability and weight.
Creative Uses
What’s more, Bronner’s tree toppers can serve as focal points throughout a tree. Whether it’s a floral and ribbon unit, lighted spheres, stockings, wall art, or a tree topper, perhaps incorporated into a unit, a limited, odd number of focal points in your tree bring both balance and interest.
Conclusion
Whether you are drawn to the celestial glow of a star or the cheerful smile of a snowman, your tree topper is the final crown on your holiday hard work. By choosing from the diverse selection at Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland, you are investing in a piece of holiday magic that will be part of your family’s memories for years to come.
