Selecting Personalized Ornaments For Family And Friends

By Mattie Knight


The holiday season may be drawing near and you are considering selecting and purchasing special gifts for this occasion. Adding an item to your decorations or another person's would be a great solution to a present such as personalized ornaments that would appeal to all. These would personalize the trees and all the individuals in a household, and also make everyone feel like a big part of that same home.

The decorations could be made from a variety of materials including glass, clay, ceramic, wood, resin, or more. The names or initials of the person would be prominently displayed on them. They could also be unique shapes or illustrations depicting a special time or special interests.

This could be a family project where every year more of these unique items are added, contributing to an ever changing look each and every December. Make a party out of it with special foods and drinks. Each person can add their own individual ornaments to the tree during a decorating gathering. The older the individual, the more they will eventually have to place on the boughs.

They also make great gifts for just about anyone. Teachers, mailmen, neighbors, friends, co-workers, bosses, pastors, and many others would be thrilled to receive one of these from you. Include a personal note within the gift to let them know how much they mean to you.

Something that is personalized doesn't necessarily mean it has names or initials inscribed on it. There are other occasions which can be celebrated with this type of token, A baby's first Christmas, a first car, first Christmas together, graduation, new job, college, new home, pets, a tribute to someone who may have passed away that year, or school could all be used when making your final selections for those special people in your life.

Choose styles with illustrations or a form that depicts special talents or activities. For example, for a person who is very musically inclined, select one that is in the shape of a musical note or instrument. A football or soccer player would enjoy seeing their name emblazoned on their particular sports balls. An aspiring ballerina would love a tiny figurine or a pair of dancing slippers with her name on it.

Be sure to carefully pack and save all of these items each and every year. They will bring about many special thoughts and memories for decades to come. All of the members of the family will take special delight in seeing their special ones on the tree every year.

Adding these small and special tokens to your tree will make this and future holiday seasons so memorable. It can be a yearly tradition to have a gathering to add these to the real or artificial tree of your choice. If there begins to be too many of these on the branches, add them to garlands and miniature trees around the home. You can even fill a clear glass container of similar items to decorate a coffee table or a side table.
