Use a personalized ornament to make a semi-generic gift, special!

Have you ever felt anxious as you wrapped up a ho-hum gift? The holidays are for giving, but sometimes we give to people we don’t know all that well: co-workers, in-laws, kid’s teachers...the list goes on! We're here to tell you, it’s not your fault but you can do better starting right now!

Here’s a few different ways to upgrade a semi-generic gift to a special gift using one of our personalized ornaments.

1. She likes Merlot...Right?: We know, you tried, but just because you spent more on this bottle of wine than you would ever fork over for yourself doesn’t mean it’s going to make the hostess’ heart melt. Add an ornament for her family though, with the names spelled correctly (important) will take this purchase up a notch. 

Suddenly, it doesn’t matter whether she or he loves Cabernet, they'll be too busy fawning over their new handmade ornament. Ditch that gift bag you’re thinking of re-using from last Christmas and instead, just add a fun, sparkly ribbon -- now your wine is dressed to impress!

Shop our Reindeer Family Ornament.

2. Teacher’s Pet: You know what teachers really want for dealing with your kids all year...I mean, molding the minds of your precious children? A bottle of wine! However, it’s probably more appropriate to provide them with their other vice...caffeine! Nothing says “last minute” more than a solo Starbucks gift card though, so step it up with our handmade apple ornament. Think tons of kids will get their teacher an apple ornament? Don’t worry! We hear from teachers all the time that they didn’t even get one teacher ornament because everyone assumes they already have one.

Shop our Apple Ornament.

3. Wedding Crasher: You went to their wedding last Summer and took full-advantage of the open bar, now, it’s time to give back! Help them celebrate their first Christmas as husband and wife with a handmade, personalized ornament and a bottle of their favorite wine. All you need to know is what type of wine they like, hopefully you can recall what they had at the wedding; and their wedding date...also, this should be pretty easy since you were there and all! Throw a holiday ribbon on the ornament and you’ll have a special place in their hearts every Christmas when they hang their ornament on the tree.

Shop our Wedding and Engagement Ornaments.

4. The "This will do" Gift: We get it, gift giving is tough and it seems like every year, the list gets longer. There’s no shame in buying something in bulk that you can give to several people on your list, just make sure to give it a personal touch. Wrap up anything (well, within reason) and tie on one our our handmade ornaments for the perfect, personalized Christmas gift.

Shop our Family Ornaments.

See? That wasn't so hard! You don't have to be a gift-giving-genie to make a great impression this holiday season. Let them know you care with a personalized gift they'll enjoy opening year after year.

Throwback Thursday -- our oldest "helping" mom with the ornaments!

Lots of people can't believe we've done what we have all these years! Our business grew up with our family through multiple moves and raising three kids. This is our oldest daughter, Remy, helping me out with the ornaments in our home when we lived in Escondido, California.

Wow! She must have not even been two-years-old in this picture, now she's 30! If you look closely you can see what our ballerina ornament looked like way back when. Running your own business isn't always glamorous, but I did get the pleasure of being home everyday with my kids when they were little and giving them big hugs when they came bursting through the door after school.

It's crazy that another holiday season is already rapidly approaching! I better get back to making ornaments, but I just wanted to thank you for all the support you've given our family throughout the years! We wouldn't still be in business if it weren't for people like you, who care about handcrafted products made with love by families like ours.
