Collecting Department56 Pieces
The great thing about Dept56 is that there are new pieces being introduced regularly, so there’s always something new to inspire your imagination. Pieces are also regularly retired after they have been available for a certain period of time, so each piece is effectively a limited edition collectable. If you have your heart set on a particular Department56 piece which has already been retired, you may find it offered for sale or at auction online.
The hardest thing about collecting Department 56 is knowing where to start. There are so many beautiful pieces to choose from, you’ll probably find it’s almost impossible to choose just one. A nice approach is to look for a piece which evokes fond memories of a special Christmas, or of a special time and place. The piece will become a talking point for friends and family during holiday gatherings, and you can add a new piece to your collection each year to commemorate each Christmas, Easter, Halloween or Valentine celebration.
