When the holiday season is just as warm and sunny as any other summer day, people in warm climates will decorate for the holidays in alternative ways. For that reason, I am filling up my Holiday Store with custom, coastal themed ornaments.
As the holiday season approaches, people begin to plan how to decorate their homes and traditionally that will include a tree. Some people will not allow a fake tree into their homes and others hate the mess of real pines, but no matter, whatever your choice, it will be decorated in some way.
Bows, feathers, ribbons, driftwood, and other unusual items can be part of the tropical decor, but custom ornaments are the best choice for telling a story. From pictures of the kids as they grow, to wedding celebrations or new home memories, personalized ornaments are a favorite decoration.
What kind of keepsakes will you create this year?
Personalized and dated ornaments are really becoming more popular than ever at Christmas. The ones that commemorate an event that happened in the past year are really special.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I do sell wedding favor ornaments and when I lived in Florida I decorated with tropical themed ornaments. They have many uses, as you have mentioned.
These are beautiful. Even people in colder climates might like a nice beach-themed ornament to remind them of summer vacations, or summers at their beach house.
So lovely! I think these keepsakes can serve as precious wedding favors as well, especially for destination weddings, nautical and beach themes. Simple and effective - love it!
You have ideas for personalizing the ornaments that I had never heard of. Some of my favorite ornaments to look at each season are the ones that have memories on them.
I like the photo ornaments too. I wish I could have made something like this back when my kids were little.
I like the idea of these personalized ornaments. In the past, I've bought some with my daughter's name but a photo one would be nice to send to close family members. I really like the design mix of the holly and starfish.
