Small Gift, Big Tradition: 6 Ways to Gift an Ornament

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 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.
