*Please note that I received an ornament from Ornaments With Love for review, but my opinions are 100% my own. I don’t review and write about items that I don’t personally believe in OR wouldn’t purchase myself!
When I was a little girl I remember every Christmas going to the Hallmark store to get that year’s rocking horse ornament for our tree. It would be different each year with the date displayed along the bottom of the rocker portion. The day after Thanksgiving, every year, we would take out all of the holiday decorations, put on the Muppets holiday record/tape/CD (depending on where technology took us that year) and decorate the tree in the den. We would place those Hallmark rocking horses, in year order, down the front of the tree.
To this day, we take out all of our holiday decorations the day after Thanksgiving and decorate to our heart’s content. Unfortunately Hallmark doesn’t make the rocking horses anymore but we started a new collection. Every year we get a personalized ornament with our names and the year. Our old neighbors kicked us off to this tradition, giving us our first ornament – it was of my husband and I and the year we got married. The next year, the ornament was of the two of us but now with me with a big belly (N was in there!) and the phrase “Great Expectations” written neatly on my stomach!
This year I was approached by Ornaments with Love, asking if I was interested in doing a product review of one of the ornaments on their site. This fit in perfectly with my family traditions and I immediately accepted!
The online process was very smooth. All I did was go to www.ornamentswithlove.com, where I chose “Families” from the long list of available categories on the left side column. It was hard to pick an ornament because I liked so many of them, but I finally opted for one that showed my whole family, including a doggie bowl for Sadie, along with the year. Completing the personalization was very straight-forward as well.
In a few days I received the finished product and was so excited to open it! It was extremely well wrapped, as it is breakable. Included in the package was a cute gift bag and tag in case I created this ornament for someone. I was definitely keeping this one, but plan on ordering from them for family gifts.
Check out their site when you are ready to order ornaments for yourself or someone else. There are over 2,000 to choose from – I am thinking of getting a baseball one for my youngest son and a soccer one for the older one. (Every time I go back to their site I find another ornament that is perfect for “so and so”. I love it!)
Family owned for over 50 years, great service, quality product – I would highly recommend Ornaments with Love.
