A travel themed Christmas tree is the easiest kind to decorate with meaning, because every ornament arrives with a story attached. Start with the icons of the genre, a passport ornament, a rolling suitcase, and an airplane, then add the places themselves: a pink Eiffel Tower, matchbooks from Paris, New York, and Beverly Hills, a striped Hilton Head lighthouse, and a tiki hut for the family that trades snow for sand. Chalets, a lake cabin, and a ski gondola cover the mountain trips, and a sailboat handles the coast.
Travel Christmas ornaments are also one of the most personal gifts for travelers. A passport suits the study abroad student or the friend with a flight booked for January. A suitcase marks a honeymoon or a first big trip, and a Paris piece belongs to the Francophile who still talks about that one café. For new drivers and car lovers, car ornaments do the same job, from a pink SUV and a racing car to a new driver's license ornament for the newest set of keys in the house.
Hang them on a tree of their own, mix them into the family tree, or tie one to a gift as a topper that outlasts the wrapping. Pair the mountain pieces with our après ski party supplies, the Paris pieces with our French themed party supplies, and browse the full range of Christmas ornaments to fill out the branches.
