If you like that cosy feeling you get around Christmas, a nutcracker soldier mood light just taps into it perfectly. It’s got the nostalgia of the classic nutcracker soldier, but with those detailed, nature-inspired patterns that make William Morris designs feel warm and timeless rather than overly festive. It’s the sort of thing you put on a side table and suddenly the whole room feels calmer and a bit more atmospheric, without shouting “Christmas decoration!” at you.
And because it mixes the traditional nutcracker character with that Arts and Crafts charm, it doesn’t feel kitschy. It’s more like a small piece of art that happens to give off a gentle glow. People who like a home that feels thoughtful and a bit story-driven usually love this sort of thing — it’s decorative, it’s a conversation starter, and it just brings a kind of soft, wintery warmth that’s hard to get from a normal lamp.
As with all my mood lights, this one has an energey efficient LED unit in the base for illumination. The light is rechargeable and will last 10 hours or so on a single 2 hour charge using the included 50cm USB-C cable. The light comes with a remote control that you can use the set the colour to one of 13 different shades including white to match your decor or your mood. You can also set the light to fade or flash through all the colours, or to turn off automatically after 30 or 60 minutes.
