Most gifts get used, enjoyed, and eventually tucked away. Ornaments come back. Every December, your clients unpack them, hang them, and relive the moment you captured all over again. It's a small gift that turns your work into a yearly tradition, and there's more than one way to give it.

## 6 Ways to Gift an Ornament

1. **Say thank you.** Close out the year with a personalized ornament from each family, senior, or pet session. It's a small gesture that keeps your work on their tree long after the session ends.
2. **Match their holiday cards.** Pair a holiday card order with a matching [Bamboo Ornament](https://craft-stage.whcc.com/products/bamboo-ornaments.md) from our design suites, like "Holiday Ribbon," "Merry Monochromatic," or "Color Pop Peace."
3. **Celebrate a milestone.** Celebrate the moments your clients hired you to capture, like **baby's first Christmas** or their **first Christmas together**. Add names and dates to make it theirs.
4. **Start a yearly collection.** Create one ornament for every annual family session, and your clients will build a tree full of their story, one year at a time.
5. **Add it to a package.** Include an ornament in your holiday mini session packages, or offer it as an easy add-on when clients place their order.
6. **Make extras for family.** Clients love sharing their favorite images with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Encourage multiples, with quantity pricing on three or more Bamboo, Metal, and Wood Ornaments.

## Presentation Tips

- **Use it as a gift topper.** Tie the ornament onto the outside of a larger gift so it's the first thing they see.
- **Coordinate the ribbons.** Every ornament comes with a satin ribbon in red, green, gold, black, or white, so match it to the wrapping or the colors in the image.
- **Add your branded touch.** Put your client's name, the date, and your studio logo on the back of a double-sided Bamboo Ornament, or engrave them on a Wood Ornament.
- **Hang a sample at your studio.** Display a few on a mini tree during ordering appointments so clients can see and touch them.

## What to Order

Framed Ornaments feel elegant, personal, and genuinely gift-worthy. Order them on Lustre photo paper for sharp color and beautiful skin tones. Finish with a satin ribbon in your favorite color, and when the holidays wrap up, the built-in magnet keeps them on display all year long.
