A first Christmas ornament in round glass, with your photograph in full colour, in three sizes. Round is the shape the occasion has always used, and for a baby it is a better fit than it would be for almost any other subject.
A baby first Christmas ornament holds one face, and that is all a circle at this size will take. For this occasion the limitation does not matter: the picture people want is a close one of a newborn, often asleep, and that is precisely the crop a round ornament is good at. A circle removes all four corners, so nothing important should sit near an edge.
Most of them are taken indoors, in December, in poor light. Thin glass passes light from the tree behind it, which helps a dark picture more than it helps a bright one, but the source still has to be there.
The smallest disappears among larger decorations and the largest holds its own on a full tree. For an ornament that will be looked for every year, the large is the one people do not regret. All three weigh little enough that a branch takes them without bending, and glass is brittle rather than flexible, so this hangs out of reach of small children and animals.
Our designers crop the image to the circle and set the wording before production. Use the original from the camera roll rather than a version that has been shared and re-shared, since each pass through a chat app costs resolution. A heart-shaped version of the same design is made for a first Christmas as a married couple rather than a baby's, and bell, square, octagon, paw and bone shapes are made in the same glass if a circle is not what you want.
The photo keeps its full colour, which on a tree is most of the effect. Order early, since December post is slower than the rest of the year and a Christmas ornament has a date that cannot move. An ornament is brought out and put away once a year, so the box it arrives in is worth keeping.
The range runs to seven shapes. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone, paw. Sets are built to your own choice of shapes. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image.
