A first Christmas design on a square glass ornament with your photograph, in three sizes. It is the ornament bought for a baby's first December, and almost everybody who buys one keeps it for thirty years, which is worth bearing in mind when choosing the shape and the size.
Trees shed decorations over the years. The first Christmas ornament is the one that survives every clear-out, gets handed over when the child leaves home, and ends up on their own tree with their own first Christmas ornament hanging next to it. Very few things bought for a baby last that long. That is the argument for choosing the shape that keeps the photograph intact rather than the shape that looks most festive.
Baby photographs are usually taken close and wide: a baby lying down, a baby in somebody's arms, a baby on a rug surrounded by paper. Circles and hearts crop in from the sides and take the arms, the hands and the context. The square takes almost nothing, and it is also the largest glass in this range.
Your photo stays in full colour, which matters more on a baby photograph than on almost anything else: skin tones and the outfit are the whole picture. Thin glass transmits light, so hang the ornament with a bulb sitting behind the glass rather than in front of it.
Send the best resolution file you have rather than a screenshot or a forwarded copy. This is the ornament most likely to be looked at closely in twenty years, and compression that is invisible on a phone is obvious on glass. If you are buying for somebody else's baby, the middle size is safer: large enough to be a real gift, small enough that it does not impose on a tree you have not seen. Grandparents frequently order two, one for themselves and one for the child's own tree later, which is a sensible precaution given how often a single ornament of this kind gets broken during the twenty years it has to survive.
Seven shapes are made. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Sets are put together shape by shape.
