With a twinkle in his eye and a nose as red as a holly berry, Rupert the Reindeer is ready to prance straight into your heart.
Lovingly knitted with cosy charm, Rupert sports a festive green-and-white top tucked neatly beneath his bright red cardigan. His green dungarees are perfect for snowy adventures, and his sturdy little shoes (paired with thick white socks, of course) keep his hooves warm on chilly winter strolls.
