Bethany's 2011 Christmas Ornaments

Tis the season to deck the halls! 
Create a joyful mood with these special baubles, perfect for gifts- or indulge yourself!

Tips from Santa: These make great name tags!   With bright colored ribbons, tie trims onto each gift package for an extra & festive surprise! 

Trims are wonderful gifts for everyone on your list, as well as for your own special evergreen.  We have a huge and unique selection to help you celebrate this year- and many merry years to come!  Find every style, from traditional to whimsical, to elegant.  Use them for stocking stuffers, to decorate packages, or for party favors.  Give them as appreciation gifts for people who have given you excellent service over the year, good neighbors, co-workers, friends and family.  Then make them special by adding their names, the year, a photo, or a special message.  Favorites with our customers are the personalized trims. 

Theme Idea:  Create a Memory Tree!

Choose your baubles to mark each year's milestones and events, such as a wedding, graduation, a new baby, or a special vacation.  Buy a keepsake for each member of your family annually, and start a tradition that will be cherished year after year!  Select them according to their interests, hobbies, sports, personalities, or occupations. Pick ones to represent your pets, and select loving memorials for dearly missed family members no longer with you.  Photos work especially well, as they show the changes through the years as the kids grow up.  Chosen thoughtfully, they are excellent memory makers- and there's always room for more!

STORAGE TIPS
You have carefully chosen each item for your tree, and each one is a treasure, whether it's a collectors item, or an adorable keepsake your child made in nursery school.  But how do you safely pack them up after the holidays are over?  Here are a few ideas:
 

1.  Use a large plastic container or a recycled giant popcorn tin to keep out mice if you are storing them in an attic or a garage.  Whether plastic, tin or cardboard, use a container with a lid to keep out dust. 
2. Fill your container with shredded newspaper, shredded leftover wrapping paper, or packing peanuts.  For the breakables, wrap them carefully in either bubble wrap or tissue paper.  For added precaution, you could then place them into plastic cups and nestle them into the newspaper, or store them in their own separate box.
2. Use smaller boxes, such as shoeboxes, within the larger box to sort similar items and keep them together.  For example, I store all my personalized family pieces in the same box. 
3.  Save the boxes they originally came in.  This is especially helpful with breakables.  Then stack each smaller box into a larger container.
4. Tiny items can be stored in egg cartons.
5.  If you happen to have a box with partitions, such as a wine  box, that can work really well.  Otherwise, you can buy a commercial container with dividers, specifically designed to store ornaments.
6. Always pack the heavy, sturdy items, such as wood, plastic, or metal, on the bottom, with the most fragile ones at the top.
7. If you have several themed collections, like I do, keep them in separate boxes, labeled.
8.  To keep them from getting tangles, wrap lights around a reel- or even an empty coffee can- and store extension cords inside!
9.  Add a final layer of bubble wrap to make sure nothing will get shaken and broken, click or tape your lid into place, label the box, and put them somewhere that's not too humid or hot.

There you go- your memories are safely tucked away until next year!
