When buying Christmas tree toys , pay attention to the product safety certificate. A good product does not have a strong chemical smell.

Assess the strength of the attachment: if this part protrudes from the groove, refuse to purchase the product. Otherwise, the glass Christmas or New Year's toy may fall and break. It is better if both the toy and the attachment are one piece, as there is less chance of it falling.

Pay attention to the way you attach the hanging toys to the tree branches, which are usually made with thread, lace, ribbon, or wire. Make sure that the attachment is completely secure - this is especially important for fragile glass products.

Painted or dyed toys should be of high quality. To check, simply hold the product in your hand. You can lightly rub the surface with a napkin or your finger. If the paint or glitter comes off, it is advisable not to purchase such a product.
