Hiding a green glass pickle ornament deep in the branches is one of the easiest traditions a family can start. Whoever spots it first on Christmas morning earns an extra gift, and the hunt usually outlasts the children who began it. It works on a family tree, an office tree, or as the last thing tucked into a stocking.
Perfect for: family traditions, gifts for children, tree trimming parties, office trees, white elephant gifts, and stocking stuffers.
The pickle ornament is a mouth-blown glass ornament from Old World Christmas, shaped in a carved mold, hand-painted, and glittered in a tradition that began in the 1800s. Parents traditionally hang it last, deep in the boughs, then let the children search the tree for it. It hangs from a hook or a ribbon and stores easily for next year.
Hang it close to the trunk where the green disappears into the branches, then browse the rest of our unique Christmas ornaments when you are starting a few more traditions.
