Top Pick: Old World Christmas Stack of Books Ornament

This specific Old World Christmas stack of books ornament is the most classic one I place on my own Christmas tree each holiday season and gift to others. It’s hand-blown and hand-painted using traditions from 1800s for that classic Christmas decor look. It’s a no-fail option.

Molly McIntire Ornament

I was a super fan of the American Girl books when I was a child, so when I heard you could score vintage Hallmark American Girl doll ornaments on eBay, I immediately snagged my personal favorite, Molly. There’s something extra special about them being vintage.

Harry Potter Ornament

There are a zillion different Harry Potter ornaments out there, so I decided to do something different and make my own, inspired by the books! It was really quick and easy, and you can customize it with things like your own Hogwarts house colors, etc. It’s a great December family craft.
