spanners45 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi all,I am keen to get a nice (not plastic) Nativity set for the kids this year. When I was little setting the Nativity scene and decorating the tree were big traditions on the house and I would like to start that too. I have been looking for something nice but haven't had much luck so I wondered if anyone here had any tips. Thanks!

simonethebeaver Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The Sue Ryder shop in Forest Hill is selling them, and not very expensive. Wooden ones.

EmilyPie Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I like the ones at traidcradt: http://www.traidcraftshop.co.uk/c-718-fair-trade-christmas-nativity-sets-.aspx?pagenum=1 Lots of choice and they're fair trade. I like the recycled paper one best.

nunheadmum Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I bought this one a couple of years ago - nativity and advent calendar in one. It avoids having to do chocolate advent calendars or think up lots of little bits to put in the do-it-yourself ones.http://www.lakeland.co.uk/40910/Bethlehem-Advent-StableNot cheap but a good family investment.
