Brown Santa decorations are made from a mix of materials across listings, including polyester, faux fur, cotton, plastic, resin or polyresin, stone powder, metal, and combinations of these materials.
Options include unlit indoor figures, pre-lit pieces with warm white or yellow LEDs, battery-powered items (often requiring 3 AA batteries), and lanterns that can run on batteries or USB. Some listings explicitly state batteries are not included or that an item is unlit.
Most brown Santa items are designed for indoor display on tabletops, mantels, countertops, or shelves. A few pieces—such as some stocking holders—use wall-mount or tabletop bases with hooks for hanging stockings.
Weights in these listings range from about 0.73 pounds up to 4 pounds. Many items fall around 0.9–1.7 pounds, and one two-piece set is listed at 3.6 pounds.
Stocking holders use either wall-mount or tabletop bases and include hooks—often on distressed, antique-style bases—designed for hanging stockings.
