• An Old World Christmas Ornament

This crab isn't going to give up his shell anytime soon, because he understands the value of good real estate.  The Hermit Crab Ornament adds a dash of maritime flair and crabby charm to any holiday tree, nestled comfortably into his spiral shaped home.

With a beautiful spiral shell that shimmers in gentle pearlescent tones and is gently powdered with glitter, this glass ornament, measuring roughly 3 by 2.75 inches, catches the light from all directions.  Its bright orange-red legs and glitter-flecked claws give the crab a wet, fresh-from-the-surf sheen.  Two black eyes are perched on top his head, watching the festivities with interest.

Easy to display among garlands, wreaths, or anywhere that needs a little saltwater personality. It’s a natural addition to sea-themed trees and makes a clever gift for marine biology fans, coastal dwellers, or anyone who knows that sometimes the coziest homes are secondhand.

Hermit crabs are known for borrowing shells and swapping them out as they grow, and this little guy might just remind you of that one friend who’s always redecorating or hunting for the perfect vintage jacket. He’s got a bit of flair, a lot of comfort, and just enough attitude to hold his own among snowmen and reindeer.

The Hermit Crab Ornament offers a novel twist on holiday décor, whether you're creating a reef-inspired display or simply need a distinctive ornament that deviates from the typical seasonal styles.  Despite his natural shyness, this crab takes center stage on your tree, complete with shell and glitter.
