7 Stunning Handmade Christmas Ornaments to Gift This Season

Give handmade Christmas ornaments this season.

If you haven’t finished your holiday shopping, and you are stuck on what to get those last names on your list, consider gifting handmade Christmas ornaments made by artists around the world. Handmade Christmas ornaments are a thoughtful gift that are likely to be cherished, treasured and actually used–unlike that tie that plays “Jingle Bells” when you press Rudolph’s nose.

Etsy is a treasure trove of handmade Christmas ornaments, so we pulled together a list of some of our favorites. We made sure to choose shops who make the ornaments themselves, as opposed to designing and outsourcing the work. A true artisan or crafter made ornament is much more of a unique gift.

And whether you are looking to finish up that last little bit of shopping, or you are in the market for some handmade Christmas ornaments for your own tree, we do hope you enjoy our handmade picks.
