Gift Guide: Christmas Ornaments

Disclaimer: I probably should have made this a wish list and not a gift guide because I ended up picking out all ornaments that I want for my own tree, ha! But I had good intentions when I started it!

Last year I got my very first "adult" Christmas tree which was sooo exciting. I finally had an apartment big enough to fit a full sized tree and I couldn't wait to make it my own. Because I didn't own any ornaments and didn't want to spend much money on buying them, I made most of my ornaments with craft store supplies or bought them at the dollar store. I'm sure that many of you girls out there are in the same boat, right?

this year's tree and stockings

I think that giving an ornament to your friends as a gift each year would make for a pretty fun tradition and help us all build our ornament inventories. :) Whether they are traditional, girly, sentimental or just plain fun, we'll look forward to pulling them out of the closet every year and hanging them up on our trees. Here are my favorite ornaments of the season - what do you think of my picks??
