Little Robin Redbreast Christmas Ornaments

The little robin redbreast always reminds me of Christmas, growing up I remember lots of Christmas cards featuring the robin with his bright red chest sitting on branches surrounded by snow.   An English Christmas symbol in my opinion which is why I think robin ornaments are a great idea for a Christmas tree.

Bring a touch of mother nature to your tree with our very under-valued robin, he’s certainly a festive touch as you can see from these ornaments.

Robins are a very cute looking bird that make great cartoons as you can see, they also look great in vintage designs which means that they fit in well with lots of different styles of tree decor.

I think if you want to add birds to your Christmas tree then you should at least consider the robin, unless you have a favorite bird such as the owl or the peacock that you want to base your holiday decorations around.

Here are a few more robin ornaments to try and persuade you …….

Lego Christmas Ornaments

Embracing the magic of Lego with the festive spirit of Christmas is a win/win combination in my opinion and it can be done in several ways including using Lego Christmas Ornaments.

I have always loved using unique Christmas ornaments on my tree that have special meaning to family members so if as a family you all love Lego then why not have a Lego themed Christmas tree?

There are a variety of different ways in which you can add everyone’s favorite building brick to your tree – make your own Lego Christmas ornaments, buy some of the available read to make packets or buy themed ornaments that are ready to hang. Let’s have a look at some of these ideas and be sure to share any ideas you have with us as well so that we can all enjoy a very Lego Christmas!

Lego Christmas Holiday Sets

Santa | Christmas Tree | Snowman – Cool Ornaments for the Tree

Lego have released a series of three Christmas Holiday sets for you to make your own Christmas ornaments and they include Santa, a snowman and a Christmas tree. All great Christmas icons that you can ‘bring alive’ with your Lego! If you have children this can be a great holiday craft activity before decorating the tree, I know my daughter loves making Christmas ornaments.

 

LEGO Christmas Santa Claus Holiday Set

What do you think of this Lego Santa? This very easy to build set is a limited edition one and contains 42 pieces.

Has a man ever been more loved in the world than Santa?

 

 

LEGO Christmas Tree Holiday Set
This classic symbol of Christmas is another very easy to make set and contains 61 pieces.

A Christmas tree really is an iconic sight during the holidays.

 

 

LEGO Christmas Snowman Holiday Set
Another easy to make set, this one contains 44 pieces and I think it’s really cute (I do love snowmen!).

Let’s face it Christmas just isn’t Christmas without Frosty!

 

More Lego Christmas Sets

You’ve seen the snowman, the Christmas tree and Santa, but there are more Lego Christmas ornament sets available so check these out (my favourite has to be Santa on one of the reindeers) –

Build Your Own Christmas Ornaments Set of Three

Lego Santa Christmas Ornaments

This is such a fun set and contains 66 pieces in total.   Basically there are three Santas to build and then there are clear plastic  Christmas baubles to put them inside.   These minifigures are so fun to make you could even incorporate them  into your child’s advent calendar.

 

LEGO Build Your Own Christmas Holiday Ornaments # 852744
In our house I buy little things throughout the year to add to the advent calendar because I don’t like the idea of my child eating chocolate every morning. If you do the same thing then I would add a mini Santa to make over the course of three days and then once they’re made give your child the bauble to put them into. You can then display them on the side until it’s time for you to put up your Christmas tree.

Make Your Own Lego Christmas Ornaments

Of course the whole idea behind Lego is to use your imagination and not be dictated to by what sets you can purchase and with that in mind there are lots of different directions available for making your own Lego Christmas ornaments online. Use these instructions, or just play around to make your own designs!

Lego Holiday Ornaments

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be showing you how to build a set of fun holiday items with Lego. The first object we’ll tackle is an ornament for your tree.

Kids Christmas Craft Ornaments

If you scroll down nearly to the end of this page you’ll find instructions on making a number of Lego Christmas ornaments including a Santa, a snowman and balls.

 More Lego Inspired Christmas Ornaments

 

Building Blocks Head ornament ornament

I love this Lego inspired Christmas ornament, it’s definately one of my favorites (that I don’t have to build myself). There’s something about the happy minifigure face that always makes me happy (maybe because I’ve always been a sucker when it comes to the Lego people).

Let’s face it I know not everyone is going to want to build a Lego Christmas ornament, but if they have a Lego enthusiast in the house they may want to pop an ornament on the tree to acknowledge their love of these addictive little bricks. These Lego Christmas ornaments are ideal for that, they’re also great as gift ideas for all of those Lego fans you know……..and let’s face it we all know at least one!

Not everyone is such a big fan of minifigures so you can even get ornaments that embrace the original Lego basic brick which is still inspiring children (young and old) to build and use their imaginations decades since it’s inception.

Personalized Lego Christmas Ornaments

You can even get personalized Lego Christmas ornaments which are a great gift idea. There are two different types that I’ve come across so far and they both have the image next to this text as one side of the ornament. The other side of the Lego Christmas ornament is where the personalization takes place.

Take your pick from the two ornaments below as these are your two options for the front of your Lego Christmas ornaments.

Simply click on the one you prefer and it will take you to a site called Zazzle where you can upload your choice of photo and then buy it – how simple is that for a really special, personal Christmas gift idea?

A Brides Christmas Ornament Set

Why not start a gorgeous tradition in your family by welcoming any new bride into the family fold with her own Christmas ornament set.   I’m not sure where this idea came from, but it’s certainly a lovely idea.

I’m going to include a set further down which you could buy to give, but you could easily source your own ornaments.   Each ornament has a meaning and the means are –

A rose means affection

A fish is Christ’s blessings

A fruit basket means generosity

A flower basket is for good wishes

Santa is for goodwill

A heart means true love

A bird means joy

A house symbolizes protection

A rabbit means hope

A pinecone is for fruitfullness

A teapot represents hospitality

These are all the ornaments included in the set below, but of course you could make up your own set including these symbols along with other ones if you wanted or slightly different ones that have more meaning within your family.

This is a tradition that I think is a lovely one to be embraced.

Disney Mickey Mouse Christmas Tree Toppers

Disney is a popular theme for Christmas trees and with good reason too as Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on earth and Christmas is supposed to be the happiest time of the year the combination is pretty special.

If you have already included different Disney ornaments on your tree, you’ll have to start thinking about what to use as a Christmas tree topper.   Now I admit a Disney tree can look pretty cool with a star topper, but when you think of Disney who is the first character that springs to mind?   For me and millions billions of others it’s Mickey Mouse.

This lovable Disney character has a lot of fans and he also looks great on top of a Christmas tree as you can see with either of these Disney Christmas tree toppers

Of course you could go with an even more special Christmas tree topper like this next one which is from The Bradford Exchange.

This is a classic Disney tree topper with Mickey Mouse as Santa in his sleigh and who should be helping the reindeer pull it?   Why it’s Goofy of course and he looks right at home in the role!   Featuring lots of your favorite Disney characters I think out of all of the Disney Mickey Mouse Tree Toppers available it has to be the best.

Have a look and let me know what you think –

Snowman Christmas Ornaments

Collection of Snowman Christmas ornaments which are sure to brighten up anyone's Christmas tree.What would Christmas be without images of Frosty the Snowman around?   Even though I currently spend Christmas in warm weather snowmen still abound in Christmas imagery, so why not pop some on your Christmas tree?

I love the idea of having a Christmas tree ladened with Snowmen as I grew up spending my Christmases in winter time and the idea of bringing a touch of winter to my ‘summer’ Christmas makes me feel quite nostalgic.

There are some awesome snowflake Christmas ornaments that can be added too, but there’s something really cute about snowmen so let’s look at a couple of cool snowman Christmas ornaments –
