Snowdome Iron-On Embroidered Patch

A tiny alpine holiday without the flight, ski hire or terrifying chairlift.

This embroidered Petra Boase patch has been designed like a little snow globe, complete with a log cabin buried in snow, fir trees, falling flakes and a cable car passing overhead. The bright blue sky and flashes of orange and gold stop it becoming too traditionally Christmassy, while all that tiny stitched detail makes it particularly lovely up close.

Iron it onto a jacket, sweatshirt, ski bag, rucksack or tote for a bit of après-ski spirit, regardless of whether you’ve actually been anywhere near a mountain. It’s festive enough for Christmas, but there’s nothing stopping it staying put for the rest of winter.

A very good stocking filler for skiers, snowboarders, mountain people or anyone whose ideal January involves a wooden chalet, ridiculous quantities of cheese and absolutely no emails.

Much cheaper than a week in the Alps.
