It’s the holiday season and my favorite part is buying and setting up the Christmas tree. This is Christmas #2 with my husband and we’ve sealed in the tradition of going to a tree farm and cutting down our own tree. We have a small collection of tree decor we started last year and after pulling down the box tucked away in one of our closets, we realized we need to up our game in the ornament department! We’ve made a note to check out the post-christmas sales to score on some tinsel and other festive bits and bobs for next year.

My mom has a tradition with her friends of gifting Christmas ornaments. I used to think it was lame, to be honest (sorry mom), but now I think it’s a great idea. I think I will adopt my mom’s tradition and gift my husband with a unique ornament every year as we build our own little collection. Here are some unique Christmas ornaments that caught my eye. All handmade on Etsy!
