Anthropologie’s New York City Ballet collection is a work of art—and we found several pieces for under $30, so you won’t break the bank either. Inspired by George Balanchine‘s legendary 1948 ballet, The Nutcracker, this Christmas line “brings festive characters to life in a révérence of holiday wonder,” says Anthro.

You’ll find stoneware, embroidered pillows, and ornaments depicting the story’s costumes, sets, and choreography. The New York City Ballet collection makes perfect gifts for aspiring ballerinas, fans of the story and ballet, and Christmas lovers. Here are the top seven items that caught our eye.
