First Christmas ornament?

[disappointedkittens]

Has anyone thought about this yet or found a cute one? I want to get something special but I need ideas! Show me what you've got.

There are a ton on Etsy, I book marked a lot of different ones. I want a non breakable one because I'll be devastated if it breaks in ten years.

I'm going to get the precious moments one even though I'm a little disappointed in the design this year. I used to collect precious moments and have a lot of their ornaments so it seems fitting.

So do I! My mom's friend got me one each year from birth to my tween years. I wonder if we have some of the same ones. I still put them on my tree (though maybe not for the next few years).

I got a personalized one from Land of Nod.

I am also going to collect the annual Wallace silver holly bells for her.

I got this one last year and I lve it! www.personalizationmall.com/Personalized-Baby-Christmas-Ornaments-Baby-Birth-p13100.prod?sdest=Search

I also got a hallmark one because we each get one of those every year.

We probably do!

This is really cute! I think I am going to get one this year even though her first Christmas was last year.

I have a relative that works for H.allmark so we always get those.

[Brie]

I got four of them as Christmas gifts for his first Christmas. So, I hate to burst your bubble, but I'd wait until after the holiday to buy one JIC you wind up in the same situation.

[Brie]

I also made one like this:



Craft stores have those giant empty glass ball ornaments.  I put his hospital bracelet, bassinet card, and pieces of his birth announcement card in there.  (I didn't keep the hat from the hospital.)

Brie I love that. How sweet!

[meij]

My mom has gotten both of them a Hallmark one.

I did see cute ones you can personalize on PBK when I was looking at stockings.

[ladygrey]

I got this one from Etsy:

[starlily]

I bought Lenox ornaments for DD1 and for our first Christmas in the new house, so I'll be picking one of their styles again for DD2.

[mandapanda18]

I bought one from Hallmark last year (really pretty white porcelain), I need to get an empty clear one from the craft store so I can make the one brie pip'd

Etsy! I've bought a custom ornament off Etsy every year for the past 5 years or so. I LOVE THEM. The one I got to commemorate DS's birth is one of my favorite things ever. It's an adorable elf holding a ball. I cannot express how much I love it. I will buy another of the same elf for the new baby. Let me find a pic.

So that was 2012. 2013 we did a chicken coop with our farm's name on it. This year I'm leaning toward this key design to commemorate our new house.

[disappointedkittens]

Thanks everyone! @brie great idea! I have some of those bulbs already because we did something kind of similar with our wedding invitation. @supergreen I had that elf bookmarked. Glad it's great in person.

[kategm]

I just bought this one. www.amazon.com/Porcelain-Christmas-Ornament-Babys-First/dp/B00NDWJ1EI/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&qid=1412018095&sr=8-50&keywords=baby%27s+first+christmas+ornament

I also have the 2012 white porcelain rocking horse from Hallmark that I'm going to try and fix to say 2014. Or maybe save it for next year and have it be her 2015 ornament? I don't know, but it was free so if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

[thebreakfastclub]

I got something that his picture fit into. I like having a little photo of him on the tree.

It's fucking ADORABLE. And the seller is super nice too.

[mellimel19]

@supergreen that elf is so cute! I've bookmarked that one, and am also considering one of these:

[wemberly]

We have this one, it is made of aluminum so it is not breakable.

I made my own for both kids.
