You can see a lot of dressed up trees in the Department Store. Perhaps the most unusual New Year tree is the one decorated in Tatar traditions. It has soft balls, leather goods, decorations imitating horse tails and even tyubeteika skullcaps. If you are not ready for such unusual decorations, you can choose one of the luxurious handmade dolls in a beautiful national costume.

It is impossible to pass by Orenburg balls. After all, New Year tree decorations do not necessarily have to be glass and fragile. Soft and cozy balls, decorated with lace, are just begging to be put in your hands and then on the New Year tree.

"My parents have very beautiful New Year decorations from Soviet times, a real treasure. Memories of how we all together decorated the New Year tree are my favorite from childhood. Now I want to continue this tradition with my children, and the toys have to be extraordinary, memorable, made with love. We brought some of them from our travels around the country, and now we can add to our collection here at the Exposition", — says Vera Milanova, a visitor of the Department Store.

Masters from the Komi Republic also presented their variation of Christmas tree balls. The balls made of wood are decorated with national ornaments. Komi patterns are a special cultural code, they reflect the traditions and history of the people, their love for nature and basic crafts.

Special and very beautiful decorations were presented by the Kaliningrad region. The region is the world’s main supplier of amber. Therefore, it is not surprising that Christmas tree toys are generously decorated with Baltic gold.
