A hammer on the Christmas tree: this glass ornament takes the favourite tool from the workshop and turns it into a decoration for the branches. The head is silver, the handle a bright red, finished with a textured grip section and a silver end cap. A hanging loop sits at the top, so the ornament goes straight onto a branch.

At 12.3 cm tall, the glass hammer ornament is roughly the size of a small hand tool and stands out among baubles and stars. It is made for everyone who likes to build, fix and screw things together: DIY enthusiasts, tradespeople and hobby makers, as well as fathers and grandfathers with a workshop of their own. The ornament is made in China.

Red and silver is a classic Christmas pairing, which makes this piece easy to slot into a tree that already follows a colour scheme. The silver head picks up the light from the fairy lights, while the red handle provides the warm contrast. The outline is clear enough to read from a few metres away, so nobody needs the idea explained.

The ornament weighs 50 g and measures 3.4 cm across and 5.8 cm deep. A tool it is not, though: the glass hammer stays pure decoration for the tree and brings the workshop into the living room as a motif only.

This is a small gift with a clear message. It belongs on the tree of a keen DIY enthusiast or tradesperson, in a father's or grandfather's workshop, and in any craft room. During Advent it works as something to bring along to a December visit, or as the contents of a larger calendar pocket.

For a Secret Santa round at work or in the family it hits the right note: personal, with a wink, and needing no explanation. It also suits a housewarming for a first owned home, since plenty of hours with tools in hand usually follow. If you are giving tools anyway, add the glass hammer to the parcel as decoration.

Hang the hammer towards the outside of the tree, where the whole silhouette stays visible. At eye level the motif reads best, because the textured grip section remains recognisable. Close to one of the fairy lights the silver head shows up far better than deep in the greenery.

Instead of a paper gift tag, slide the loop onto the ribbon around the parcel, so the hammer moves onto the tree once the present is unwrapped. And if several tool ornaments come together, a little group on one branch makes a workshop theme out of them.

What is the ornament made of? Glass. The hammer head is silver, the handle red with a textured grip section and a silver end cap.

How big is the hammer? It is 12.3 cm tall, 3.4 cm wide and 5.8 cm deep, and it weighs 50 g.

How is it attached to the tree? Using the hanging loop at the top, which you place over a branch or a hook.

Can the hammer be used for work? No, it is purely a glass decoration and not a tool.

Who is this ornament a good gift for? DIY enthusiasts, tradespeople and hobby makers, plus fathers and grandfathers with their own workshop.
