In 5 years, you won't remember when you got it, but you might miss that you don't have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664080 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 09:32:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2664080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: thanks, it's not an ornament. It's just a wood Nutracker figurine. Next year when I can use the blue etsy ornament it will stand out on the tree, which is what I want. At least I have the nutcracker this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664078 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 09:31:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 2664078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get the one you really want - but, if it won't be delivered until Christmas anyway, any chance it might go on sale after Christmas and you could just pick it up then for less $$?? (Probably not on if it's on Etsy....but just throwing it out there!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664067 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 09:08:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2664067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: he's cute! Is it an ornament though? I think they are different enough it warranted the order! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664066 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 09:07:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2664066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Buy the one you want even if its late!</p> <p>We were putting up decorations this year and DD noticed that DS had a my 1st Christmas ornament with his picture on it and asked where hers was....oops! So I bought one - she is 5 - who cares - next year she wont remember that I bought it when she was 5 and not really on her 1st Christmas</p> <p>Also my kids have several 1st Christmas ornaments - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664064 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 08:58:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2664064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: here's the bear nutcracker- definitely sentimental although I am sure a 1,000 households across the country has one. </p> [attach=3033/16/oi2s5r.337x600.20161212_084918.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664049 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 08:04:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2664049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id worry less about it being personalized and more about it being sentimental. If the one from target has meaning, keep it! If you really want the one from etsy, go that route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664047 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 07:55:02 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2664047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ordered a personalized one that we wanted and it did arrive in time, but we were also gifted a couple and bought one in a store ha! It's nice to have a few, including his personalized one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664033 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 01:52:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2664033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>funny, i guess i'm the only one that would find something beforehand at a local shop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664025 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 00:00:39 +0000 MrsB2012 2664025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally! I usually buy them after Christmas when they're on clearance hahah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664024 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:57:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2664024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree- get the one you want. You'll have it forever, vs having this particular tree up for a few more weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664023 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:45:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2664023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: @mrs.shinerbock: Thanks! That was all I needed to order the ornament. :happy: DH is nonchalant about all this kind of stuff and was no help. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664022 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:32:43 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2664022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy the one I wanted even if it didn't come in time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664020 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:26:13 +0000 raspberries 2664020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'd go with the one you want - we actually got a couple of "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments FOR his first Christmas, so they didn't go in our tree until the next year anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-first-ornament-if-it-didnt-arrive-by-christmas#post-2664018 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:22:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2664018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I waited too late to shop for baby's first Christmas ornament. :sad: The one I found on etsy would arrive in January, well after we take our tree down. A couple weeks ago I bought a Bear Nutcracker from Target with LO in mind. It has the year on it already and with a little gold sharpie I could personalize it a bit more. </p> <p>Here's what the ornament looks like. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/474890354/custom-babys-first-christmas-blue?ref=related_listings" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/474890354/custom-babys-first-christmas-blue?ref=related_listings</a> I have done a few google searches to see if it's something I could DIY. Not sure though. :bummed: </p> <p>Would you order what you like even if you can't use it until your child's second Christmas? Or just skip the ornament altogether (Bear Nutcracker is enough to commemorate)? Or find another non-personalized/ non 1st Christmas ornanment to use? </p>
