The submitted sample is a gingerbread house made of acrylic. It is identified as item number PP-261668. The chimney of the gingerbread house is designed in the shape of an ice cream cone. Snow covers the roof and the house is decorated with candy canes, bows and gumdrops. Two gingerbread children are playing in the snow. The base of the gingerbread house is designed with a battery box that has an on/off switch. When the switch is turned on, a multicolored light flashes inside the house illuminating the entire area.
The sample is returned as you requested.
