This year we bought ours on the great wall in China. I got one of our dog the year we got him and one from New Orleans when we got married. All of them were from little touristy spots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280531 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:56:02 +0000 regberadaisy 1280531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I saw a beautiful glass turtle ornament at C&amp;B for less than $3.

We have a few from Crescent Beach, FL and got a hand made rocking horse ornament from Germany during our HM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280500 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:43:45 +0000 fancyfunction 1280500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Aw, that is so sweet :)</p> <p>If we go away, we like to get an ornament from that placed, marked with the year. This year we got a lobster from Boston. I also got M a ring stacker ornament. I want to get her at least one special ornament each year that signifies her likes that year. </p> [attach=3567/13/mxriwy.600x600.IMG_4783.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280493 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:42:22 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1280493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: I'd check Crate and Barrel, Cost Plus, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn... they all have cute ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280492 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:41:56 +0000 BoogieBea 1280492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Pier1 was the first place I checked but their stock seems to be similar to last year's. PBK didn't have and I've never been to a home goods- I'll try that. I'll check etsy too I guess but I really didn't want to spend a lot on them. Or maybe I'll find a way to make something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280488 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:41:31 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1280488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to get a Christmas ornament or knick-knack from each place we travel. This year we got a handmade wooden snowman for our "snowman forest" from Prague! I love being able to see all the fun places we've been over the years. Last year we didn't travel so we got a "our first house" kind of ornament, so there is something to mark each year's activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280483 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:38:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1280483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: It's different for each year. One year it was Hallmark, another the NFL store, some years are handmade. I'm currently checking Etsy! PBK seems to have some nice ones too. Pier 1? Home Goods? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280471 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:34:25 +0000 BoogieBea 1280471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to create the same tradition, but I get one each for the kids. I'm having a hard time looking for what I want. Where do you get your ornaments? I would like to get one of a scooter and one of a bicycle. I'm not sure where to look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280366 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:05:39 +0000 Weagle 1280366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy LO a hand blown glass ornament from the same shop every yeah while on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280270 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:42:46 +0000 pui 1280270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I know, I am not sure how I feel about it myself o_O It was the best I could find, though! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280269 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:42:25 +0000 pui 1280269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Oh thanks, haha! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280260 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:41:22 +0000 doodlepoodle 1280260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: sorry for your pup loss :'( </p> <p>That dobby ornament is simultaneously the most hideous and adorable thing I've ever seen haha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280257 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:40:44 +0000 mediagirl 1280257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: wow, her ornaments are beautiful!

Even her product images do not do them justice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-of-the-year#post-1280225 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:33:29 +0000 mediagirl 1280225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: oh what a sweet ornament.

For example, our first Christmas we spent together we got a "Our First Christmas" ornament. Last year was LO's first Christmas ornament; actually a stained glass rocking horse MIL made.</p> <p>I usually try to get something that signifies the past year. I'm struggling a little this year but am leaning towards one that shows a little girl with her doggie. Reason being LO loves her "dobby"! Anyone seen anything similar?</p> <p>What are some ornaments of years past for you? Where did you buy it? </p>
