Personalized Hallmark ornament (and giveaway!) #LoveHallmark
I received a Personalized Hallmark Ornament in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own and no other compensation was exchanged.
I have memories of Hallmark ornaments that go back many years. I remember shopping with my mom (or seeing the ornaments she brought home after visiting Hallmark) and finding ornaments to complete a set or mark a special occasion. My best friend’s mom worked at a Hallmark store for a lot of years, and her ornament collection was vast.
Now my own Christmas tree is decked out in ornaments from my Eeyore-loving phase back in college, my ever-loving Lion King-loving phase (that one will never die.) We have Hallmark ornaments marking our first Christmas as a married couple, the year we bought our house and even our cat’s first Christmas with us. Of course we have several ornaments that marked our son’s first Christmas – and we’ve started building a collection for him.
This past weekend I took a photo of my son as he was admiring the lights on our tree. It wasn’t a staged photo, but I had several comments on Instagram and Facebook that I should consider making it into our Christmas card. Seeing how our cards were ordered weeks ago, I took the opportunity to turn it into an ornament!
Hallmark makes personalizing ornaments simple. They have various designs including the blank horizontal ornament I selected to put a photo on. They have ornaments ranging from Mickey Mouse to first Christmases to ornaments you can upload photos to. (I can see photos from an epic 2015 trip going on an ornament!)
And now I have a giveaway for one fabulous reader who wants (needs?) a personalized Hallmark Ornament.
Enter the Rafflecopter below! Because I want you to be able to order your ornament and receive it before Christmas, this giveaway will end the evening of December 13. A winner will be announced on December 14 and needs to respond within 24 hours before I select a second name.
What kinds of ornaments do you collect?
(I just recently did a post on making a Star Wars wreath using Hallmark Ornaments I purchased at Walmart. Have you seen it?)
I just decorated our tree yesterday & one side is pretty rustic & the other is general Disney. we have a lot of Hallmark ornaments I just didn’t feel like unboxing (& later reboxing)
I must admit that I’ve abandoned many of my boxes the past few years. :-/ They’re still in ornament boxes, but it was too much to keep up with everything!
I love Hallmark ornaments! I don’t have a theme on our family tree, but my son and husband have a bunch of “Star Wars” ornaments that they put on a little white tree in my son’s room. He wanted white so it would look like Hoth. š
I love personalized ornaments. And I just can’t get enough of these pictures of your boy at the tree. Too precious!
Hallmark made some of the cutest ornaments this year, didn’t they? I bought a few Star Wars ones and want to go back for more.
I love personalized ornaments. I collect Peanuts ornaments.
Those may be a new favorite of mine! We saw the movie when it came out and my son loves it.
My friends daughter is celebrating first Christmas this year and she’d love that baby carriage.
I LOVE Hallmark ornaments – had no clue you could get them personalized. We do a family Hallmark exchange, will have to buy one before the party.
That Pooh ornament is great, I love all things Pooh! I hadn’t realized Hallmark offered personalized ornaments until this week.
I love those ornaments. Hallmark has the cutest personalized ornaments.
My favorite ornaments are those from my travels. I think eventually I’ll have a tree with JUST those.
These ornaments are really beautiful and delicate. You can pass them down from generation to generation as family heirlooms.
Beautiful photo and what a great idea for an ornament! When Hallmark said they had personalized ornaments now, I had no idea you could add a photo. Very cool. We have so many beloved ornaments, but definitely the ones that mark special occasions hold the highest spot with me – one from our first Christmas married and the 2 for our kids first Christmases. The latter are both Hallmark ornaments and hold a photo of my babies. š
Personalized ornaments…they are just so special and they also make great gifts. I just gave a friend one yesterday and it made her cry.
You mean besides those sent to me by friends? Umm it would be the old st. nicholas ones. I love those ornaments. I would love some personalized though with each of my kids names on it and ours for the year. We are a big family though so don’t think that’ll happen any time soon.
I like photo ornaments.
Hallmark has the best options for personalized and fun ornaments for sure.
