Harrods is selling a Kurt S Adler Nutcracker Calendar Ornament for £64.95. The product description on the Harrods website reads: "Crafted from wood, this Kurt S Adler ornament introduces the classic figure into your decor repertoire and also features a calendar to make the countdown to the big day that little bit more enchanting." The Lidl Livarno Countdown Nutcracker and the Kurt S Adler nutcracker from Harrods look similar because they share an almost-identical festive design concept. Both are traditional, hand-painted wooden figures standing tall on a red platform, holding a green 'Days 'til Christmas' countdown block. They both feature matching details, including bright blue eyes, a black moustache, a white fluffy beard, a red jacket, gold shoulder detailing, round wooden hands, white trousers and black boots. However, they are both wearing different headwear. And while Lidl's red platform is round, Harrods' is square. For anyone looking to save money, the Lidl nutcracker could be a budget-friendly alternative to the Harrods figurine for those who like its look but prefer to keep spending to a minimum. At just £4.99, it offers the same style and holiday charm as the Harrods version, which costs £64.95. Are there any differences between the two? One of the biggest differences between the two is the size. The Harrods nutcracker is slightly larger, standing at about 40.5cm tall, while the Lidl version is just a bit smaller at 35cm. There is also a major difference in how you buy them. The Harrods nutcracker is sold as a single premium designer item, whereas Lidl offers its countdown style as part of a three-piece collection.
