Shop for beautiful Christmas ornaments and heirlooms

When I was a little girl, one of the best time of the year was when my mom and me would set up the Christmas tree with all those beautiful ornaments and some heirlooms. Each year, my mom would buy some new ones. I remember one year she bought some cute Disney Christmas ornaments, featuring the most popular character: Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck . The another year, she would buy Christmas angels and recently, she buy pieces for her Christmas village.

Every year I buy new Christmas ornaments, to pass down to my kids eventually. I think Christmas ornaments makes great heirlooms. I hope you will like the ornaments I handpicked for you here. You will find vintage ones, Disney's ornaments, some beautiful Thomas Kinkade Christmas heirlooms, sports fanatics ornaments and many more.

Vintage Christmas ornaments

Beautiful vintage Christmas ornaments

I love vintage Christmas ornaments. I really think there is nothing more beautiful. I love shopping for them in garage sales and on Ebay. My favorites are the indented ones. My Grandmother had some nice vintage Christmas ornaments. I remember those beautiful indented Christmas ornaments and those hand blown Icicle Christmas Tree Ornaments. Unfortunately, she trow everything away one day. She was bipolar and one morning decided she didn't want them anymore. I was very sad to loose those amazing vintage Christmas glass ornaments. Since then, I try to find the exact same ones, for memories.

Buy vintage Christmas ornaments

Ebay has a large selection of rare and unusual vintage Christmas heirlooms

This is the place to check if like me you are looking to add to your collection of vintage Christmas ornaments. Beware of listing using "retro" and "vintage inspired", it usually means these Christmas ornaments are NOT vintage. It's also easy to get carried away in a bidding war on eBay. My best tip is check the photos and description and fix the maximum amount you want to pay (don't forget to add in the shipping price). Wait until the last minute (if possible), enter your max bid and CLOSE THE WINDOW! That way you won't be caught bidding "just a dollar more" and end up paying way over what you should have.

    I love vintage style ornaments, and the real thing :)

    I like Angels on the Christmas tree, but I do like the dragons you have featured here.

    Ever since they were young we have taken our two youngest girls to the local Garden Centre, which always has a lovely Christmas Display and they have chosen a new ornament. Guess it's that time of year again :)

    My mother always bought a new ornament for me every year too. My first Christmas I got a glow in the dark baby angel. I still had it when I got married although it didn't glow any more. I continued the tradition with my own children. The vintage ornaments were beautiful. The modern day ones just don't compare.

    Now I am wishing it was Christmas again. Those ornaments are absolutely magical.

    Ah, I remember accidentally breaking a very old ornament that my mom had inherited from her mom. I felt so bad about it.
    Now I've found one similar to that and it graces my Christmas tree each year.

Customer review by C.Woller on Amazon: "I pre-ordered this book and was very excited when it finally arrived. I was not disappointed! If you love nostalgia & Christmas, this book is for you! The stories about how our favorite vintage Christmas decorations and characters came to be was fascinating. The color illustrations are fabulous and the pictures of the author during his childhood at Christmas adds a special touch that invokes memories of Christmas day during my childhood. I recommend you buy this book and take a trip down your own memory lane."
