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.

Tea Christmas Ornaments

Tea Christmas OrnamentsAs someone who loves their cuppa I think the idea of tea Christmas ornaments on my Christmas tree is an absolutely fantastic idea.   Whichever tea you prefer – black, white, green, oolong, earl grey etc – there is just something about a tea inspired Christmas tree that I think is perfect.

There are lots of different options when it comes to a tea themed Christmas tree – you could go with a high tea theme – tea ornaments along with tea cup Christmas ornaments and some dainty food inspired Christmas ornaments as well.

Another option includes mixing up your drinks, especially if you live in a household that regularly debates which is best – tea, coffee or even hot chocolate!   Personally I love all three, but hubby goes for tea any day of the week.   You could add hot chocolate Christmas ornaments, coffee Christmas ornaments and tea Christmas ornaments on your tree and make it a tribute to your favorite hot beverages!

Let’s take a look at some of the tea Christmas ornaments available….

Tea Christmas Ornaments

What’s Your Favorite Brew?

Of course tea always tastes better when made in a tea pot instead of a bag in a mug, don’t you think? I’ll admit I rarely use a teapot, but when I’m brewing up for a crowd I do and it really is more enjoyable. The whole process of tea making can become quite an art form for some people.

Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world which is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find tea lovers have embraced showing off their favorite beverage as part of their holiday decorating. Will you become another person to embrace the idea of adding a tea Christmas ornament to your tree?

Tea Cup Christmas Ornaments

Tea Themed Tree including a Miss Tea Christmas ornament.  This little doll like Hallmark Christmas ornament is very cute and is based on a Madame Alexander doll, what you can’t see from this picture is that she’s carrying a teapot shaped handbag in her left hand which is simply gorgeous.

Of course you don’t have to restrict yourself to buying tea Christmas ornaments to decorate your tree with you can make your own.   Look at secondhand shops or go to yard sales and see if you can find solo tea cups (if you have a large Christmas tree), you can simply tie a ribbon around their handle and hang them on your tree.

Another alternative is to look for children’s old tea sets or tea sets from dolls houses – these can be re-purposed as unique Christmas tree ornaments for your ‘tea tree’ by just adding a little hanging ribbon or heavy duty metallic thread.

Coca-Cola Christmas Ornaments

Santa Coca-Cola Christmas Ornaments

It’s official – Santa loves the refreshing taste of coke!   I’ve been telling my daughter for a few years now that she should leave a can of coke out for Santa instead of a glass of milk and I swear it has nothing to do with not wanting to drink plain milk myself – honest!

I can now show her some of these awesome coca-cola ornaments which feature Santa himself as proof that ‘mom’ does know what she’s talking about!

There are certainly a lot of different types of Coca-Cola Christmas ornaments available, but I have to say that I do like adding Santa on the tree as well – there’s just something about the old, jolly fella that we’ve all come to love isn’t there?

I’ll admit I’m a coke fan and I have been for years, but my brother is of the opinion that pepsi is better (poor demented soul that he is!), all I can say is that when I look on Amazon for Pepsi ornaments I don’t find any, I look for the ‘real deal’ aka Coca-Cola and there are too many to add into a single blog post so it seems as though Christmas (and Santa) is on my side!

Zombie Gingerbread Christmas Ornaments

We all love our gingerbread men at Christmas time don’t we? What happens when a zombie tries to eat a gingerbread man though? It appears that they turn into zombies themselves, there really is no getting away from this zombie world sometimes! If you love the idea of having a zombie themed Christmas tree then you might enjoy adding a zombie gingerbread family onto your tree.

We have zombie mom, dad, baby, boy, dog and cat – what could be better? Now if only we knew how the zombie caught them – was it the fox? I’ve never seen a zombie fox, but you never know…..
