Lenox 2024 Snow Majesty Snowflake Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to shop for new ornaments that are different to the ones I can normally find at Hallmark’s stores. One of the ornaments I stumbled across is Lenox’s Snow Majesty Snowflake ornament.

I don’t normally like anything from Lenox’s line of metal ornaments. They don’t always have a shape or look that I like. Sometimes, the quality isn’t as nice as the ceramic ornaments. In 2024, I really loved with that year’s metal ornament. I liked it’s design and the quality, so I decided to purchase it.

Lenox 2024 Snow Fantasies Cross Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to focus on buying really nice quality ornaments. The ornaments I decided to purchase are from Lenox’s 2024 Snow Fantasies line of ornaments.

I already talked about my snowflake ornament from the collection in a previous post. (You can read it here) I also own another ornament from the line: the Snow Fantasies Cross. Since I’m trying to focus on my own personal collection of holiday decor, I wanted to talk about the cross in a post.

Swarovski 2017 Annual Star Christmas Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to not purchase ornaments from Hallmark. I didn’t feel really inspired by the 2024 collection, so I decided to spend any allocated ornament money on other ornaments… or anything else I want/need to buy that year.

One of the ornaments I found was Swarovski’s 2017 Annual Star Christmas Ornament. Since it was 2024, I was able to find it for a really good price. I originally planned on writing an ornament feature post for last year’s Blogmas, but I didn’t have the time to photograph the ornament, edit the photos, and write the post in time. Since it’s Christmas time again, I decided to include the ornament feature post in this year’s Blogmas.

Favorite Walmart Christmas Ornaments for 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.

This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

Swarovski 2024 Amazon Exclusive Annual Edition Little Snowflake Ornament

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This year, I decided to shop for more ornaments from brands I don’t normally shop for more than one ornament per year from. One of these brands is Swarovski.

I was able to purchase all my ornaments either on sale or for a really good price. One of the ornaments I was able to purchase is an Amazon.com exclusive little snowflake ornament.

Kate Spade New York First Snow 2020 Tree Ornament by Lenox

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Kate Spade New York is one of my favorite fashion brands. Although the style of their bags can sometimes be out of my fashion comfort zone, I still enjoy browsing their website and looking at all the designs available for that season. I especially love their home wears and own multiple items from their home collections!

This year, I decided to purchase new ornaments that are not from Hallmark. I wanted to focus on crystal and ceramic ornaments, but they must be within a certain price range. On a whim, I decided to search for Kate Spade New York ornaments. I was surprised to find an ornament I loved but passed over years ago. It was for sale for a really good price, a price well within my price range, so I decided to purchase it.

2024 Annual Swarovski Ornament Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

If you are new to this blog, then you probably don’t know I’m a Christmas ornament fan. I’m not as big of a fan as others online, but ornaments are important enough to me to start browsing them in July. One of the ornaments I like to shop for is the annual Swarovski ornaments.

This year, I was happy to see Swarovski released their annual edition ornament in June. When I saw it, I decided to purchase it. I wanted to own the 2024 ornament for sentimental reasons, which is why I purchased it so early in the ornament release season.

Last year, I decided to write a review post about the 2023 annual ornament. (You can read that post here) I decided to write one about this year’s ornament as well, but I decided to publish my post much earlier than I would normally do. I wanted to do this in order to show off the ornament and give anyone interested in purchasing it a better idea what it is like from someone who owns it.

Phimas Crystal Ornament Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to branch out of my comfort zone and purchase an ornament from a brand I never purchased from. I found Phimas on Amazon and, as of 2024, they are still selling ornaments on Amazon. The ornament I purchased was advertised as their 2023 official crystal ornament and cost less than $35. Since it was an affordable crystal ornament, especially in comparison to Swarovski’s ornaments, I decided to buy one and see if I like it.

Hallmark Ornaments and My Shopping Decisions for Ornaments This Year

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, I shop for new ornaments to add to my collection. I have my ball ornaments that I don’t replace unless I need to, so I normally shop for more unique ornaments. In years past, my favorite place to shop for these ornaments has been Hallmark. It is a family tradition to shop for ornaments at Hallmark and I budget for it every year. This year, I decided not to shop at Hallmark for my ornaments.

Trail of the Painted Horses Christmas Past Ornament Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Many years ago, I fell in love with the Trail of the Painted Horses figurine collection. If you never heard about it, it is a figurine collection of horses. There are different designs released every year. Some are more commemorative while others are fun and whimsical. I really enjoy looking at what new designs come out, especially the Christmas themed ones.

This year, I decided to purchase an ornament instead of a figurine. I don’t have many Trail of the Painted Horses figurines or ornaments, but I really love the ones I own. When I found the Christmas Past ornament, I fell in love with it. I did debate about purchasing it (Not because I don’t like it. I just felt I purchased enough ornaments this year and didn’t want to purchase another one.) but I ultimately decided to purchase it anyway.
