The products are sold in a plastic bucket. The products are shaped like a red santa, a white snowman and a green reindeer. To each figure is attached a long string of 38 cm long. In fact the string is twice that length, as it is divided in two parts and locked with a plastic locker at the end. The string has the same colour as the figure attached to it.
