Christmas is fast approaching which means it is time to purchase your favorite collectible Hallmark ornaments to give as gifts or put on your tree. In my family it is a tradition to get a Baby's First Christmas, First Christmas Together, and Marriage ornament. I guess you could say in a way it is highlighting the milestones in our lives so every time we hang that special ornament we remember.
Hallmark Ornament Blog
On the Hallmark Ornament Blog you can get the latest ornament news and find out the story and description behind a specific series. With Hallmark ornaments there truly is something for everyone, they are creating approximately 300 different designs each year such as Disney characters, Lionel trains, and cartoon characters. The Ornament Shop has one of the largest inventories of retired Hallmark Ornaments anywhere! So you have the opportunity to get your hands on almost every Hallmark ornament all in one place.
A series I find unique is the Disney or Wizard of Oz Ornaments. In 1994 Hallmark offered the first set of ornaments that included the four main characters – Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion. In 1995 they added Glinda the Good Witch followed by the Wicked Witch in 1996. This year, Hallmark Ornaments is celebrating the 75th year since the Wizard of Oz movie was produced with six different selections to add to your collections. There is nothing that can replace a classic like the Wizard of Oz and the ornaments can be handed down from generation to generation sharing the special memories each and every year.
The last wave of Hallmark ornaments for 2013 will be released at Hallmark’s Gift of Memories Weekend event December 6th-8th, 2013. You'll want to grab your special edition ornament before they're sold out for the 2013 holiday season. Hallmark Ornament Blog is hosting a holiday giveaway so you can get that special ornament you've had in mind. Be sure to stop by and check out the unique selection of ornaments and read the blog to find out more about the history of Hallmark ornaments.
