A hobby ornament is the most personal thing on the tree. It says what someone does when the week finally lets go: the novel on the nightstand, the standing mahjong game, the record on the turntable, the scarf still on the needles, the seedlings on the windowsill. That is why book ornaments and mahjong ornaments lead this collection, joined by music ornaments, crochet and knitting pieces, garden tools, cameras, puzzles, and game night favorites.
For readers, look to stacked books, little library ornaments, and a bookshop window, each easy to tie onto a wrapped novel in place of a gift tag, and a book club tree ornament makes a thoughtful thank you for the host. For the mahjong group, choose a tile ornament for every player at the table, or browse our mahjong collection for sets and accessories. Music lovers get a baby grand piano, a record player, a microphone for the karaoke regular, and more cowbell for the friend who always asks for it. Teachers get the apple, the yellow pencil, the school bus, and the best teacher mug, all easy to hand over before winter break.
Game night has its own corner, from a classic board game ornament to a puzzle cube and a handheld video game, while crafters, gardeners, puzzlers, and anyone who still owns a mixtape will find theirs too. Many of these are glass, with pieces from Cody Foster and Old World Christmas among them, and they mix happily with the rest of our Christmas ornaments on a themed tree or a classic one. Hang a few together for a hobby tree, drop one in a stocking, or bring one as a hostess gift to the next game night or book club.
