Driftwood Reindeer

🌿 The Driftwood Reindeer isn't a living plant—it's a handcrafted decorative piece made from natural driftwood, designed to resemble a reindeer. These charming sculptures are created by artisans who collect weathered wood from shorelines and shape it into rustic holiday décor. Each piece is unique, showcasing the wood's natural grain, knots, and texture shaped by water and time. Perfect for beginners since it requires zero maintenance, the Driftwood Reindeer adds a coastal, organic touch to any space. Here's a fun fact: driftwood can drift in the ocean for decades before washing ashore, making each sculpture a piece of natural history.
FOLIAGE AND GROWTH HABIT
This decorative piece doesn't grow or change. It's a static sculpture crafted from weathered wood pieces assembled into a reindeer form. The wood retains its natural grey, silver, or bleached tones with occasional hints of brown. The surface is smooth where water has worn it down, with rough patches where branches broke or weathered. Some pieces may have barnacle remnants or interesting erosion patterns that add character.
FLOWER DETAILS
The Driftwood Reindeer does not produce flowers. It's a non-living decorative object made entirely from natural wood. Some artisans may add seasonal touches like small dried flowers, berries, or ribbons during holidays, but these are decorative additions rather than natural blooms. The appeal lies in the raw, unadorned beauty of the driftwood itself and the rustic craftsmanship of the reindeer shape.
