Make Your Own Personalized Christmas Ornaments

Christmas ornaments as keepsakes are popular with our customers.  Add photos of a new baby, a new house, or wedding day to commemorate a special "first".

Are you dating someone wonderful?  Create a photo ornament to give as a gift to a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Did you get a new puppy during the year?  Or did your child graduate?  Any special moments can be added to these ornaments.

It's so much fun to dig out the ornament box in November and dig thought keepsakes that have not been seen in a year!  Kids change so fast and hanging a photo ornament on the tree each year is a great way to watch them grow.

The Holiday Store has ornaments for boys and girls, as well as ornaments with themes that include both sexes.  Girls who play sports, and boys who play an instrument, or vise versa.  But I have a "boys only" section just because it's a bit more difficult to find truly masculine ornaments for boys.

Every year I strive to add more and more unique custom ornaments to my store in themes that families will appreciate and use.

Click on any of the selections on this page to see more options in each theme.

Personalize ornaments for kids who play sports, and those who have an active lifestyle.  Currently we have baseball, football, basketball and soccer themed ornaments.  One is made with a girl surfer in mind, and one is a generic snowboarder.  Each year we add more, and this year hockey, running, and more are in the works and will be available soon.

With a little imagination, most ornaments can be customized for anyone, and not just young children.

We have ornaments to celebrate the musically inclined!  Whether the child is just beginning to play a musical instrument, or is a pro, he or she will appreciate a keepsake of their endeavors.  And they are not only for kids.  Any musician can give or receive a special Christmas decoration customized with a photo and / or text.

Some of these ornaments can be used to give to students, thank teachers, or commemorate a special band event or concert.  At the present time I offer ornaments with guitars, drums, harp, or saxophone.  I will take requests, and if I can find an image to use, I will gladly make the ornament for you.

Most families consider their dogs and cats to be truly one of the family.  For this reason, people include their pets when shopping for ornaments for the Christmas tree.

I have made some ornaments with sample animal photo templates, so you can get an idea of how cute your own pet's picture will look.

Some ornaments have a photo on one side with text (for name, etc.) on the other.  The oval cat ornament shown below has a photo template on both sides, to include more than one pet.

Most pet ornaments have text to designate the year, animal's name and maybe age.

Celebrating the holiday season in a warm climate is a bit different and calls for ornaments with tropical themes. 

Whether you live in the tropics year round, or vacation there for the holiday season, check out the ornaments we offer at the Holiday Store.  We decorate them with seashells, ocean water, seahorse images, sand dollars, palm trees and tropical flowers.

They are just right for that tropical looking Christmas tree.  In our Holiday Store we have a section with tropical themed ornaments for those of you who celebrate the holidays near the ocean.

Photo ornaments could be the answer to gift giving ideas for those who are hard to buy for.

If you love to take photos, you may have some favorites stored someplace that you can use to give as gifts.

The template areas, on our ceramic, silver look or new snowflakes, make it very simple to add any type of picture by replacing the sample photo you see there.  Usually, personalized text can also be added, such as names, date, event info and such.  The ideas are endless, but here I will list a few.

Ideas to get you started:

*Make a photo ornament to celebrate an occasion such as a birth (baby's first Christmas), engagement, wedding (first Christmas together), graduation, new job, military member's return home, or vacation.

*Year by year photo of the kids as they grow.

*Surprise someone with an ornament picturing them!

*Give to your boyfriend or girlfriend.

*Give to employees, with a message of thanks.

*Give to the boss - from an individual, or from the office.

*Secret Santa and Christmas Party gifts.

*Grandparents love these!

*Thank customers (it's an advertisement also).

*Sports theme - for coach or kids.

*Remember a family member who has passed on.

*Remember the family pet, past and present.

So dig out your favorite pictures and get ready to create a unique gift!
