Top 15 Custom Christmas Ornaments to Spread Holiday Cheer and Brand Awareness

USA-Made Flat Shatterproof Ornament

Showcase quality and patriotism.

This flat circular ornament is not only shatterproof (no worries if it's dropped or mailed) but also proudly made in the USA, which can appeal to audiences who value American-made products. 

Creative idea: Use this ornament for a holiday mailer campaign – its slim, unbreakable design makes it perfect to slip into an envelope with a greeting card. You can thank customers for their business and literally give them something to decorate their tree with. Because it's shatterproof, families with kids or pets will appreciate that it won't break, and your brand will earn a spot safely on their tree. It's also a great giveaway for organizations that emphasize domestic manufacturing or local pride, for instance, a bank or local business could hand these out at community holiday events to reinforce their USA-made values along with their logo.

USA-Made Glossy Round Shatterproof Ornament

Classic glossy look, worry-free durability, and Made in the USA!

This ornament offers a glossy finish surface, which gives a more expensive look for the ornaments with your imprint. It's shatterproof like the previous item. You can neve go wrong with classic ball ornaments for the Christmas tree. 

Creative idea: These make wonderful office party favors or gift wrap accents. For example, at your company's holiday party, you could use personalized glossy-finish ornaments as place settings or tie them onto gift bags for each employee. Not only do they decorate the event space with your branded ornaments, but everyone gets to take one home. Another idea is to use them as creative gift tags on client gifts – write a personal note on the back and attach the ornament to a box of cookies or a bottle of wine. The recipient will enjoy the treat and keep the ornament as a lasting memento, displaying your logo each holiday season.

Heart Shatterproof Ornament

Say, "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

This heart-shaped ornament is made of shatterproof material, so it has the look of a delicate ornament but the durability to survive falls or shipping. The large 4-inch size and heart design really stand out on a tree. 

Creative idea: Show customers and supporters that you "heart" their business! These heart ornaments are perfect for organizations in healthcare, nonprofits, or any brand that wants to emphasize care and gratitude. For instance, a hospital or clinic could give branded heart ornaments to patients and staff as a token of appreciation during the holidays. A nonprofit could send them to donors with a thank you note along with the ornament. Because they won't break, it's easy to include them in gift bags or mailers. Every time recipients hang the heart on their tree, they'll be reminded of the heartfelt connection to your cause or company.

Custom-Shaped Wooden Ornaments 

Rustic charm meets eco-friendliness. 

This wooden ornament is crafted in the shape of your choice. Whether that's your company mascot, the organization's logo, or a classic Christmas shape, it offers a natural, rustic look. Your logo laser-etched directly on the wood for a permanent decoration, complementing the wood grain for a warm, handcrafted feel. This option has a maximum size of three square inches. Check out this option for the larger one at four square inches.. 

Creative idea: Use these ornaments to highlight an eco-friendly or homey brand image. They're fantastic for outdoor brands, local boutiques, or farm businesses to give out – the wood material resonates with sustainability and tradition. You might give these away at a winter farmers' market or holiday craft fair with your logo subtly engraved. Another idea is to host a family-friendly event (like a tree-decorating party or a kids' craft day) and provide these wooden ornaments for guests to paint or decorate on-site. People can customize their ornament (maybe even add their name next to your logo), making it a fun activity. They'll take it home and treasure it, and your brand becomes part of that special memory.

Nickel Snowflake Holiday Ornament

Sparkling metal elegance. 

This ornament is a gorgeous snowflake crafted from metal with a polished nickel finish. It has a substantial feel and a shiny, mirror-like surface that reflects holiday lights beautifully. Upgrade to the two-sided ornament so your logo imprint can appear on both sides for extra visibility. 

Creative idea: Impress VIPs and clients with this high-end keepsake. Because of its elegant look, the nickel snowflake is perfect as a corporate gift or a giveaway at a classy holiday gala. Consider presenting it in a decorative gift box or velvet pouch to add to the "wow" factor. For example, a real estate agency might gift these to their home-buying clients with a note: "Thank you for making our year sparkle." Or a university alumni association could send them to major donors as a holiday thank-you. The ornament's quality ensures it will be hung up prominently, and each year, when it's displayed, it will remind the recipient of your thoughtful gesture (and your brand).

Ugly Sweater Christmas Ornament

Fun, festive, and fully customizable.

Shaped like a classic "ugly Christmas sweater," this metal ornament brings a big dose of holiday humor. It features a vibrant full-color imprint (with an option for a domed epoxy finish), meaning you can design the entire sweater front with your own logos, patterns, or outrageous holiday artwork. 

Creative idea: This ornament practically begs to be used in an ugly sweater-themed promotion. One idea is to run a social media contest where customers submit photos of their ugliest holiday sweaters, and winners (or all participants) receive this ornament as a prize. The ornament itself could be designed to look like a mini version of your company's ugly sweater. If your brand has recognizable colors or icons, incorporate them into a whimsical sweater design that will make people smile. These ornaments are great handouts at holiday parties, especially if your business throws an ugly sweater party for staff or clients. It's a lighthearted gift that shows your company knows how to have fun, and it will inevitably spark conversations when hung on the tree ("Where did you get that cute little sweater ornament?").

Glitter Christmas Tree Ornament

A dazzling tree for the tree.

This ornament is die-cast in the shape of a Christmas tree and accented with glitter, so it literally sparkles. In the center, it features a full-color imprint (with protective poly dome) where your logo or a festive graphic will pop. 

Creative idea: Make your brand the star of the holiday show by giving these out during tree-lighting events or holiday parades. For example, if your company sponsors a community tree lighting, you could hand out these glittery tree ornaments to attendees – they'll tie directly into the event's theme. The shimmering design is eye-catching, so even as a small giveaway, it feels celebratory. Retail stores could also use them as a gift-with-purchase in December ("Spend $50 and get a free sparkling tree ornament!"). Because of the glitter and color, this ornament appeals to all ages – kids will want to hang it up immediately, and adults appreciate the classic tree shape – ensuring your logo gets seen by entire families.

Custom Embroidered Ornament

A cozy, handcrafted vibe.

This unique ornament is made with custom embroidery, essentially turning your design or logo into a stitched decoration. It's a 3″ fabric ornament with your artwork embroidered and a laser-cut edge, complete with a hanging loop. The result is a soft, vintage look – like a piece of holiday nostalgia. 

Creative idea: Leverage the handmade feel of this ornament by incorporating it into gift sets or as a premium thank-you gift. For instance, a company could create a limited-edition embroidered ornament each year and send it to their top 100 customers or employees as part of a holiday gift box (imagine it nestled alongside hot cocoa packets and a blanket for a "cozy winter kit"). The tactile, old-fashioned style of these ornaments also fits well for charities or community organizations – e.g., a local arts council might sell them as a fundraiser, featuring a beautiful embroidered scene along with the sponsor's logo subtly included. When people hang an ornament that looks like it is lovingly handmade, it adds sentimental value. Every stitch of your logo will remind them of your organization's personal touch.

Custom Die-Cast Metal Ornament (2.5″)

Fully custom-shape, heirloom quality.

This ornament is a bespoke creation – die-cast in sturdy zinc alloy into any shape up to 2.5″, with your design in raised 2D detail. You can choose from different metal finishes (antique brass, shiny gold, silver, etc.) to match your branding. Essentially, if you can dream it, it can be made: your logo, mascot, building, or product can become a metal ornament. A smaller two inch option is available if this one doesn't fit your budget, as well as a larger three inch option.

Creative idea: Use this premium ornament to commemorate something special. Because it's higher-end, it's perfect as a collectible or anniversary item. For example, a city's tourism bureau could commission a custom ornament of a famous local landmark to give out (or sell) during the holidays – locals and visitors would love hanging a little metal skyline or icon on their tree. A business celebrating a big milestone (10th holiday season, 50th year in business, etc.) might create a limited-edition ornament in the shape of their logo or founding building and send it to clients and employees to mark the occasion. Given the durability and perceived value, people will keep these for years (potentially even passing them down). Each time it's displayed, it reinforces the prestige and longevity of your brand. Tip: Pair it with a note about what the ornament represents ("Forged in metal, just like our commitment to you – happy holidays from [Your Company]") for added impact.

Custom Shape Full-Color Birch Wood Ornament (Up to 6″)

Natural wood meets vibrant printing.

This ornament combines the warmth of real birch wood with the creativity of full-color graphics. It's a custom shape (up to 6 square inches in size), laser-cut from birch wood, and printed in rich color on one side. The wood grain subtly comes through the print, giving a rustic yet polished look. A larger size up to 9 square inches is also available. 

Creative idea: Celebrate your community or brand story with this eco-friendly ornament. For example, if you run a coffee shop, you could create an ornament shaped like a coffee mug or your café logo printed in full color on wood – a perfect giveaway to loyal customers with each holiday latte purchase. Or a school might have students draw festive designs and then turn the winning artwork into a wooden ornament for fundraising (with the school logo on it, too). The lightweight birch wood is also great for event promotions: a tree farm could hand out wood ornaments shaped like pine trees with their name and a "Thank you for visiting" message. Since it's made of sustainable wood, it sends a message that your brand cares about the environment. People can feel the natural texture, and the full-color print ensures your design stands out, making it a delightful mix of tradition and creativity.

Custom Shape Full-Color Acrylic Ornament (Up to 6″)

Your imagination in glossy acrylic.

Similar to the birch option but in durable clear acrylic, this ornament is custom-cut to any shape (up to 6 square inches) and printed in full color. If you need larger, we have the 9" version. The acrylic gives a shiny, glass-like look but is shatter-resistant. Your design can cover the entire surface, so it's perfect for detailed logos or even photographs. 

Creative idea: Turn your signature product or logo into an ornament. This is an excellent choice for companies that want a completely unique giveaway. For instance, a bakery could make acrylic ornaments shaped like a holiday cupcake with their logo on the wrapper – and give them to customers who place large orders in December. A tech company could recreate its logo or a new gadget in miniature form as a hanging ornament to mail to partners (imagine a tiny printed replica of a new app icon or device). Full-color acrylic ornaments also make great event swag for end-of-year conferences or festivals – you can include a colorful scene or mascot on the ornament along with the event name. Because the printing is high resolution, even complex graphics come out crisp, and the acrylic's transparency can give a cool effect if parts of the design aren't printed (letting light shine through). Every time recipients hang it up, it's like a little billboard for your brand with wow factor.

Acrylic Vintage Red Truck with Christmas Tree Ornament

Nostalgic holiday spirit.

This ready-made ornament features the classic scene of a retro red pickup truck carrying a Christmas tree in the back. It's printed in full color on acrylic and cut to the shape of the truck, approximately 4″ wide. The design itself is heartwarming and instantly recognizable as a Christmas icon. Your logo can be added subtly (for example, on the door of the truck or on the license plate in the artwork). 

Creative idea: Capitalize on this ornament's broad appeal by using it in wide-reaching customer giveaways. Because nearly everyone loves the vintage red truck motif, it's a safe bet for any industry. A car dealership could give these to everyone who test drives a vehicle during the holiday season, tying in the theme ("Take a little holiday joy for the road!"). A home décor shop might offer one to each customer as a bonus during a Christmas sale, knowing it perfectly complements holiday home themes. This ornament also makes a charming corporate gift topper – imagine attaching it to a wrapped gift box or bouquet going out to your clients. It adds a touch of nostalgia and festivity, and even people who may not celebrate Christmas in religious terms often appreciate the secular, cozy imagery of a vintage truck with a tree. Every holiday season, when they unpack this ornament, your recipients will remember the friendly gesture from your company and display it proudly.

Custom Shape Full-Color Bamboo Ornament (Up to 6″)

Sustainable and stylish.

This ornament is crafted from 5/16″ thick bamboo, another eco-friendly wood option, and can be cut into any shape up to 6 square inches with a full-color print on one side. See the 9" version here. Bamboo has a beautiful light wood tone and is known for its sustainability (fast-growing and renewable). Your design will look vivid on the bamboo surface, and the material's strength means it's durable for repeated use. 

Creative idea: Emphasize your commitment to sustainability or community by choosing bamboo ornaments. For instance, a green business or environmental organization can give these out to highlight an earth-friendly mission – you might shape them like a leaf, globe, or even your product and include a tagline about sustainability along with your logo. A neat idea for community outreach: partner with a local artist to create a colorful design (say, a painting of your town's skyline or a holiday scene) and print that on the bamboo ornament along with your company name; then distribute these as limited-edition collectibles to customers. Each ornament showcases not only your brand but also art and eco-values, which makes it less of an advertisement and more of a meaningful gift. People will be excited to hang it up and talk about its unique look ("It's made of bamboo, how cool is that!"). By aligning your brand with a sustainable material, you send a message of care and quality that reflects well on your business.

Plan Ahead and Order Early for the Holidays

Each of these custom ornaments offers a special way to connect with your audience during the holiday season. Whichever ornaments you choose, be sure to place your order early. Popular styles can sell out (sometimes in November or very early December), and production times become extended the closer we approach the Christmas season (which we believe starts November 1st 😄). Ordering in advance helps you avoid potential inventory issues or extended production times that frequently occur closer to the holidays.

By planning ahead and ordering early, your ornaments will arrive in plenty of time to decorate, distribute, and delight your recipients. 

So don't wait – start your custom ornament order now and get ready to spread holiday cheer in a memorable, branded way. Your future self (and your happy customers) will thank you when the festive season arrives, and your beautiful ornaments are ready to shine!
