Amazon.com Review
Perfect for stocking stuffers, Gold Label's Matchbox Melodies music boxes create animated holiday scenes right in the palm of your hand. This "Jingle Bells" version features a charming cover image of a winter village scene and the song words in lovely green lettering. Slide open the matchbox and the holiday tune plays as a miniature hand-painted town comes to life, turning round and round a grand Christmas tree. The box measures approximately 3-1/4 inches wide and works with a fun old-fashioned wind-up mechanism. It comes in an attractive gift box. --Kara Karll

Customer Reviews

Not Great
This item seems cute in the picture, but in reality it is quite cheap looking/sounding. It is a wind-up music box and only plays a couple of bars of the song over and over, and the tempo is veeeeery slow. I bought it to give as a gift but now I am reconsidering. I am embarrased to give it!

Cute Music Box - Recommended
The "Matchbox Melodies, Jingle Bells" music box is very cute and has a very pretty sound.

Winding the music box is accomplished by sliding the "matchbox" open to the left (gently... read the instructions) and turning the key. The motion and music are activated by sliding open the "matchbox" to the right. When open, the song plays (an abbreviated version) as the motion turns the scene. The figures are plastic, but are fairly detailed and look very nice.

The body of the "matchbox" case is also mostly plastic so I am not sure how durable it will be in the long run, but with gentle use it should hold up well.

Overall a good value and a nice addition to our collection. Recommended!

A little Christmas Music
I ordered three of these as stocking stuffers - all different. They are simple to use and delighted my 7 year old daughters.
