This collection includes family name ornaments, family photo ornaments, ornaments for growing families and keepsakes for remembering the ones who are missed. Many families add a new one every Christmas, building a collection that becomes part of the tradition.
Family Name and Last Name Ornaments
A family name ornament is a classic for good reason. Our Buffalo Plaid Family Name ornament, Custom Last Name Christmas ornament and Personalized Family Christmas ornament feature your last name in festive designs, with room for the year.

Family Photo Ornaments
For a picture of everyone together, choose a Family Photo ornament or a Family Photo Wreath ornament. Upload a favorite family picture and it is printed on the ornament, often with your last name or the year.
Photo ornaments are especially loved by grandparents, who get a new picture of the whole family every Christmas. See more picture designs in our photo ornaments collection.

Some family ornaments are about remembering. First Christmas in Heaven and floral memorial ornaments, along with the Forever Loved pet memorial ornament, keep loved ones close during the holidays.
Starting a Family Ornament Tradition
Many families start a tradition of adding one personalized ornament each year, marking a new baby, a move, a wedding or a new pet. Over time, the tree becomes a timeline of your family's life.
Because each ornament is made to order, double-check names, spelling and the year before checkout, and order early in the season so it arrives in time to hang.
