One of our favorite ornament expressions has always been “The Heart of a Home is Love” which we think is the essence of family life. And while there are other times of year when the family is called together to celebrate, the Christmas holidays seem to be the strongest, when you really appreciate the family you have, the generations together, and enjoy the love you have for each other. This feeling is one reason we have been pleased with our life’s occupation, the designing, making, and selling of personalized Christmas ornaments for the family.
Custom Design Family Ornaments
At the beginning of our years making personalized ornaments, we created designs that were perfect for individuals. We had Santa doing lots of things, a teddy bear with a wreath, a stocking full of dolls, a bag of toys ornament. We had a single snowman, a single penguin, a house, a fireplace, a Christmas tree, and an Angel. The handcrafted ornaments were so new, and dough ornaments so novel, that people were excited to buy one ornament for each member of the family. Some of those designs are still on our product list but of course, now we make them of polymer clay instead of dough, and they look a little different. Over the years our selection of new designs became more and more family ornament oriented, giving the opportunity to purchase one ornament that had everyone’s name on it plus a saying and the year.
Our Personalized Family Ornaments is a big grouping of products on the website www.calliopedesigns.com. We have had the enjoyment of creating so many unique and original designs revolving around family life and the different number of members of the family. Our ornament products cover families of all sizes from 1 to 17! So there are plenty of opportunities to find many products to collect over the years that suit your family or that suit another family you exchange gifts with.

All members of the family will agree that this is a wonderful way to keep a sweet and happy memory of Christmas in the past with the family member who has passed away.
