They say there’s an art to gift giving and that a gift’s meaning isn’t tied to its price tag, but to the story and intent behind it.
If you subscribe to this philosophy and feel that the best gifts aren’t about cost, size, or quantity, but the thought and love that goes into them, you’re certainly not alone! The best holiday gifts take time, consideration, and a strong intuition that comes with an understanding and appreciation for the important people in your life.
Whether you’re shopping for a son or daughter, father or mother, lifelong friend, or anyone else who’s important to you, picking the right gift can often seem like a challenge, especially when you want to give them something they will cherish and remember for many years to come.
That’s exactly why Christmas ornaments make such great holiday gifts! Christmas ornaments are forever, and people use them again and again, each and every year as they decorate their Christmas tree. Whenever they see your ornament gift, they’ll be reminded of the good times you’ve shared together and how much those times mean to them.

My family does a gift exchange each year, and I think giving personalized ornaments would be a great idea. I really like how your suggestions commemorate specific events in the recipient’s life. It would be fun to think f special experiences we have had with each family and get an ornament to represent that. Thanks for these great ideas!
