Christmas Ornaments for Kids

Buy your children a Christmas ornament every year that celebrates whatever their favorite thing is at the time for example this year has seen my tween absolutely enarmored with a certain big boy band which means I’ll be getting her a One Direction Christmas ornament. It gets quite funy to see Dora the Explorer alongside One Direction, Dance, Basketball and Guitar Ornaments, but it tells the story of her interests through the years.

Rhodesian Ridgeback Christmas Ornaments

rhodesian ridgeback christmas ornamentRhodesian Ridgeback OrnamentCheck Price

Rhodesian Ridgeback ornaments are gorgeous at any time of the year, but one’s which you can hang on your Christmas tree are just the best.

My eldest dog at the moment is a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross so hanging a Rhodesian Ridgeback Christmas ornament on our tree sounds like a great idea to me.

Our old lady was born in 1998, but still acts like a puppy now and again and if you give her a Christmas present she’ll open it faster than a nine year old can rip open theirs! Well if it contains a treat that is, I must try and wrap up a new brush for her and see if she still gets as excited!

The ornament above is my favorite Rhodesian Ridgeback ornament and the fact that it’s not Christmassy means that you could hang it up any time of the year.   Why is it my favorite?   Because my beautiful Kahlua could’ve been the model for it!

More Rhodesian Ridgeback Ornaments

These gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback Christmas ornaments aren’t too Christmassy so you could hang them up all year around if you wanted to. I’m actually thinking of adding some to our four-legged family members photo collage in the dining room.

French Macarons & Coffee for Your Christmas Tree!

We all like something sweet with our coffee don’t we?   I have loved having coffee (and even tea and hot chocolate) ornaments on my tree as well as chocolate inspired ornaments and cupcake ornaments …… my mouth is watering just thinking about them!

I had never thought about French macarons on my tree before though, until I saw a couple on a website that is unfortunately no longer available. I have, however, managed to hunt down some more of these delicious morsels for you to decorate your tree with –

This ornament features a Macaron Tree, now I’ve never eaten or made one of these, but they would certainly make an impact at an afternoon tea.

Bearing that in mind this ornament certainly seems an ideal one to add to a sweet toothed inspired Christmas tree, don’t you think?

 

That’s it for now, short and sweet seems appropriate!
