The first Christmas design on an octagonal glass ornament with your photograph. The octagon keeps almost all of a rectangular baby picture while still having a shape of its own, which makes it the middle option between a square that does not crop and a circle that does.
An octagonal crop removes four small corners and nothing else. On a baby photograph those corners are rug, blanket, wrapping paper or wall, and losing them is no loss at all. Meanwhile the shape reads as a deliberate object on a tree rather than as a plain tile, which a square sometimes does. For the first Christmas picture that includes a parent's arms or a sibling leaning in, this is the outline that keeps them and still looks like something.
The image goes onto the glass in full colour, so skin tones stay where they belong. Colour matters most on a baby photograph, and on a first Christmas ornament the skin tones and the outfit are what make it this child and this year. Thin glass lets a bulb show through from behind, so position the ornament with a light at its back rather than in front of its face.
The octagon sits flat against a branch instead of turning side on, so the picture stays facing the room, which a round ornament spends half its time failing to do. The middle size is where most orders land: big enough for a face and a pair of hands, small enough to hang among ordinary decorations without taking the tree over.
Send the original rather than a copy that has been through a messaging app, since this is the ornament most likely to be examined closely two decades from now. If you are buying for somebody else's baby rather than your own, ask for the photograph rather than taking one from social media; those files have usually been cropped and recompressed, and both are visible once the picture is placed at this size.
The shapes number seven. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Any combination of shapes can go into one set. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. Colour Enhancement is available at $1.99 per image.
