There is a reason a sisters sisters ornament turns up in so many December care packages. Two figures, one glass shape, and decades of inside jokes hanging off it. Hand it over and she will keep it for thirty years, hanging it every season with the story still attached, which is exactly what a keepsake ornament is for. It hangs just as well on a first apartment tree as on the family one at home.
Perfect for: sister gifts, holiday care packages, bridal shower gifts, gifts for a sister in law, ornament exchanges, and stocking stuffers.
It is mouth-blown glass, shaped in a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered the way Old World Christmas has made glass ornaments since the tradition began in the 1800s. It hangs from a standard hook or a length of ribbon, and it shows best near a light where the painted detail catches.
Send one to each sister so they match, or find another sentimental shape among our Christmas ornaments.
