Candy­container

At the beginning all kind of sweeties, fruits, gingerbreads, and other food were put on the Christmas tree, fastened on the twigs with colourful ribbons. Later on, people preferred to put small candies into containers, a sort of tree ornament with hollow belly, to achieve a surprise effect.

Candycontainers exist in different shapes, sizes, and materials. Very often we see cardboard or paper, but also metal is not seldom as well as fabric or (in newer times) artificial material.
