Rabbit Christmas Ornaments

Rabbits aren’t just for Easter anymore!   If you or someone in your family loves bunnies then why not add one or two or a whole warren of rabbits to your family Christmas tree this year?

There’s just something about rabbits that make them look so cute which is probably why so many people (especially children) have them as pets.   Unfortunately I live in Queensland, Australia where it’s illegal to own rabbits so my daughter didn’t see one until we were holidaying in New Zealand and there were some wild ones outside of our hotel.   She would’ve loved to have owned her own, but all she could have were cuddly toy rabbits and ornaments of them 🙁

If you’ve had bunny rabbits as pets them I’m sure you’d want to celebrate them on your tree, I know we celebrate past and present pets on our tree each year.   Here’s a few of the rabbit ornaments I’ve found for you –

Cheerleading Christmas Ornaments

Give me a S, give me an A, give me a N, give me a T, give me an A – what have we got?   Santa!  Yes it’s time to start cheering in the holiday spirit and decorating those trees and what better way to do it than with some cheerleading ornaments?

 Now if you’re a cheerleader or you have one in your family you’ll love to hang one of these on your tree for the holidays.   Despite what SJ said in the hit movie The Blind Side, cheerleading is most definitely a sport which means it should be celebrated on your tree as much as your favorite footy team is!

If you don’t like the figurines above there are lots of other types of cheerleading ornaments you can get to decorate your tree with like these two here –

You can make some pom poms to put on the tree as well or even get some doll pom poms or costume Barbie pom poms like the ones here to add some more detail to your Christmas tree.

If you’re getting an ornament for someone in particular then you might want to check out some of the personalized cheerleading ornaments that you can buy and my favorite store for these is Zazzle.

They have a range of cool ornaments that you can add either a person’s name onto or a teams name.

Jeep Christmas Ornaments

Military Jeep Personalized Christmas Ornament

There’s just something special about jeeps (I think anyway), I’m not sure if it’s because all the cool kids in the movies had jeeps when I was growing up (yes I’ve just aged myself I was a teen in the 80s!) or if it’s something else, but I wanted a jeep as my first car!

Well the jeep didn’t happen way back then I got a mazda instead! That doesn’t mean I can’t deck my Christmas tree in jeeps however!

Check out some of the cool jeep ornaments you can get for your tree these days –

I absolutely love the reindeer in the jeep Christmas ornament above, although I prefer either a black or a red jeep myself – but camouflage looks really good and is a pretty appropriate design for a classic jeep.   It’s not just jeep lovers who would like to hang these ornaments on their trees, if you’re going for a memorial tree or an armed services tree then a couple of jeeps makes a great addition to other ornaments you could hang.

Now I’ve found that Santa enjoys driving a jeep if his smile in a couple of these ornaments is anything to go by!   I’m also including a jeep Christmas ornament where there’s an adorable Boston Terrier driving – this ornament is available in a range of different dog breeds so if you’ve got a favorite I’m sure we can find them driving a jeep from a lab to a pug and many others!

Christmas Ornaments a Chocoholic Would Love!

Now I think if you wanted to create a chocoholic’s dream Christmas tree it would be between six and eight feet tall and made entirely of chocolate.   I’m not sure how practical that would really be however so perhaps instead you could hang chocolates onto the tree in place of Christmas ornaments?

Seriously though these ornaments wouldn’t even last until Christmas Day in my household which is why I think it’s great that you can get chocolate inspired Christmas ornaments for your tree – they look yummy and yet they’re calorie free!

 

I think Hersheys (especially if you’re a fan of this chocolate) is perfect as a Christmas ornament because the shape of their Kisses is very similar to the shape of some Christmas ornaments.

These red, green and silver mini kisses ornaments are a perfect festive touch for your chocolate inspired Christmas tree.

Of course it could be that you prefer other chocolates such as the ones with the hard candy shell around them …….. yes I’m referring to the cheeky chocolates known as M&Ms.   If you love these scrumptious candies then there are lots of different options for hanging on the tree, in fact you could even decorate your entire tree with m&ms – Create A M&M Christmas Tree.

Now I should say I’m a little partial to a Twix bar in the afternoon, there’s just something about the biscuit base, creamy caramel and smooth chocolate that really hits the spot for me so popping one (in ornament form of course) on my Christmas tree would be perfect.

 

This set of two ornaments is great – I just love the little Santa hats on the chocolate bars and I just happen to enjoy Snickers bars as well so these are needed on my tree!

There are lots more different types of chocolate inspired Christmas ornaments that you can add to your tree and you can intersperse them with chocolate brown colored Christmas baubles to add more depth to your tree.   In fact some of the brown baubles that are covered in sequins have the look of a big chocolate truffle from  a distance!

Christmas time is a special time of the year which means that you really should be looking at boxes of chocolates or specially made chocolates as treats rather than just the ‘normal’ chocolate bars and you can even get these in ornament form for your tree.
