This paddle board glass ornament keeps a year of lake mornings on the tree. Paddle boarding rewards patience and balance, two things in short supply in December, so the reminder lands well. Hang it on a lake house tree, a travel tree of places you have actually been, or a wreath by the back door.
Perfect for: paddle boarders, lake house trees, coastal trees, travel memory collections, ornament exchanges, and stocking stuffers.
Stand up paddle boarding grew out of surfing in Hawaii and now turns up on oceans, lakes, rivers, and canals, which is part of why it makes such a good keepsake shape. The ornament is glass, mouth-blown into a carved mold, hand-painted, and glittered in the tradition that began in the 1800s and that Old World Christmas continues.
Group it with other water shapes for summer on a winter tree, and browse nautical and coastal decor or the full run of glass Christmas ornaments.
