Lace balls and dolls in colorful national costumes, painted porcelain snowflakes and amber pendants. In the Department Store space at the RUSSIA EXPO you can find exclusive New Year tree decorations for an unforgettable holiday. We have collected the most unusual options.
In Russia, the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree dates back to the reign of Peter the Great. Today in our country, almost every family decorates a New Year fir tree. The process of preparing a coniferous tree for winter holidays can become really beautiful and exciting if the toys are special.
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.
