Various types of Christmas ornaments
Blown glass is the classic: light, delicate, and the closest thing to the original 1840s baubles. Ceramic and resin ornaments trade some of that fragility for durability, which matters if little hands or curious pets share the house.
Wooden ornaments — carved, painted, or laser-cut — bring a warmer, more rustic texture, while fabric and felt pieces are nearly indestructible and forgiving of rough handling.
Then there's handmade: wire-wrapped sea glass, agate slices, salt-dough shapes — one-of-a-kind pieces that can't be replaced, which is exactly why they tend to become the ones people keep longest.
