DH and I exchange ornaments every year. We've done this since our first Christmas together 10 years ago. It's always my favorite gift to give and receive. We give one to each kid as well.
Yes. I have bought ornaments on trips we took, as well as the big ones - home, wedding birth, etc.
The one ornament that I always purchase is the Swarovski crystal snowflake. I have one for every year that we've been married, and I display them on a metal tree. I think they are beautiful and love to look at them. I save monthly for it and generally buy it with a coupon before Christmas for about $50-$60. I used to wait until after Christmas to get it half off, but that became effing stressful so I decided to chuck $8/mo in a Capital.One bank account and I buy one every year. If I get it cheaper, great, if not, I'm sure I'd waste $8/mo on something else that doesn't give me as much pleasure.

Oo do you have a link to the metal tree? Mine are on our regular tree but I've thought about separating them out for a while
Yep, one for each kid and each of us, and my parents get us all one, and we get one everywhere we travel. I now have all of mine from growing up and we will give the kids theirs when they have their own house or whatever.

Let me see if I can dig up. I bought it from a metalworker at a craft show a few years ago. I hadn't seen anything like it before. Worst case, I'll be back to PIP.
