"When's the last time you thought about a music box? It might've been years ago, but the images of that twinkling melody and little spinning ballerina probably bring nostalgic memories to mind, even if you never personally owned one yourself. You may have even seen more ballet-inspired fashion and accessories lately thanks to a trend called balletcore that made waves in the past year or so."
"Though their trendiness is relatively new, the ballet music boxes are surging in popularity on Etsy - sales are up a whopping 1,000% according to their holiday trend report! They look and function fairly similar to the kind you may have grown up with. They're boxes that can store small trinkets, and they usually have multiple little compartments or drawers. When you open the box, a wind-up mechanism makes a song play, and there's usually a small figurine that moves along to the tune."
Ballet-inspired music boxes have surged in popularity on Etsy, driven by aesthetics like balletcore and Nutcrackercore. Sales have increased dramatically, with Etsy reporting a 1,000% holiday spike. The boxes function like traditional music boxes: they store small trinkets in multiple compartments or drawers, and a wind-up mechanism plays a song while a small figurine moves to the tune. Many listings offer customization such as inscriptions or song selection. Music boxes suit holiday gifting because of Nutcracker associations, yet most designs lack overtly seasonal colors, making them appropriate year-round.
