An assembly for producing an artificial snowfall in a Christmas tree display arrangement is stored as a pack having a base 10 with a carrying handle 16 and a lid 18 adapted to fit over the base 10. Within the latter is an air blower unit comprising an electric motor and fan located below a cover 44, moving air from externally to a fan outlet 40 and thereafter into an air transporting tube assembly provided with a venturi, through an aperture 64 in the cover 44. A Christmas tree can locate through a central aperture 62 in the cover 44 onto a stand within the base 10. Artificial snow in the form of plastics beads is available on the cover 44 and can be moved through the venturi to the top of the tree, from where the beads fall by gravity through the tree to be collected by the cover 44 and its petal sections 52.

For use with a display arrangement, an assembly comprising a base part with a removable cover, air movement means disposed in the base part and having an air inlet in a wall of the base part and means for moving air from the inlet to an air outlet accessible through the cover, and air transporting means connected through the cover to the air outlet, and providing for the movement thereinto of means taking the form of artificial snow, collecting means for the artificial snow means being mounted around an internal peripheral wall or walls of the base part to provide an extension of the cover, and being movable from a folded position, overlying the cover, to an unfolded position, lying outwardly of the base part and upwardly angled in use, the artificial snow means being located, in use, on the cover, whereby, when the air transporting means extends upwardly from the base part, the air transporting means can move air with the artificial snow means upwardly to a location remote from the air outlet and enable the artificial snow means to fall under gravity to be collected on the cover for re-distribution.
