Ideas for Giving Christmas Ornaments as Gifts
There are so many ways to turn a holiday ornament into a perfect present.
Here are just a few of our favorite Christmas gift ideas featuring ornaments:
Begin a new treasured tradition.
Make it an annual tradition to purchase a new ornament for each family member (or for the family as a whole). Before long, your Christmas tree will be full of meaningful ornaments that become longtime family heirlooms.
For some families, their ornaments represent special memories made that year. For example, you might purchase a cabin-inspired photo frame ornament to remember a family ski trip or mountain getaway. In other families, each family member is free to choose an ornament representing a special interest or hobby. Perhaps you have a video game enthusiast, tech geek, or dedicated baker in your family – the options are unlimited!
Honor a milestone moment.
If someone in your life had an extra-special event happen in the past year, why not celebrate it with an ornament? Every year, hanging up the ornament will be like a delightful blast to the past.
One idea is to purchase a travel-themed ornament for your favorite jetsetter-in-the-making, like an Old World-inspired passport ornament or an airplane flying across a three-dimensional globe. Or, congratulate the recipient on starting a new career or graduating from school.
Maybe you have a loved one that celebrated new nuptials or a golden anniversary. Buy the lovely couple an ornament to represent their love, like a 25th wedding anniversary ornament or a “just married” ornament. Ornaments can also be a sweet symbol of anything from a new baby to a new pet!
Help start a collection.
Gift someone the first piece of a future ornament collection, and you can spark a fun tradition they’ll continue year after year. Consider their Christmas style (traditional or modern, glam or farmhouse classic, etc.), and which ornament collections they might enjoy.
Some of the most popular collectible ornaments include:
- Dated photo frame ornaments, each one containing a photo from the year
- Ne’Qwa Art ornaments, a stunning series of hand blown ornaments made using a time-honored technique
- Personalized Christmas ornaments, labeled with the recipient’s name
- Christopher Radko ornaments
Add an ornament as a special gift-wrapping touch.
Finally, ornaments can be a fun way to upgrade your holiday wrapping with next to no effort required. Whether you’re using gift boxes, gift bags, or wrapping paper, you can include an ornament simply by tying it on with some pretty ribbon.
Carefully thread the ribbon through the ornament’s hook, then securely tie the ribbon onto the gift. It will be a cheerful embellishment that the recipient can keep and hang on their tree!
