Personalized Ornaments, Figurines and Villages

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Customized ornaments at their best…..

Design artist, Duke Marcoccio started My Little Town in 1999. His first village piece came out in 2004, which was the Narragansett Towers porcelain lighted building. Duke says that the success of that one piece inspired him to come out with several other porcelain buildings in the following years. A Rhode Island native, it was in 2007 that he decided to create an ornament collection of Rhode Island icons. The overwhelming response to those ornaments helped Marcoccio to realize that this was the new direction for MyLittleTown.com. Now his personalized ornaments and villages are so popular that he has a hard time keeping up with the demand on several pieces.

The creative customized ornaments and village pieces that are offered here are very unique and Duke says that he wants the public and businesses to know that he can create almost anything as an ornament. He is already taking orders from businesses and groups for 2010. Many businesses send the customized ornaments of their building, trucks, products, or logos as corporate gifts to their valued clients. The customized ornaments also are a great fundraising idea for churches or schools.

Every piece is designed personally by Duke Marcoccio. The ornaments are made of resin because you can get the most detail from this material as apposed to porcelain. He has used the knowledge from his degrees in art as well as in photography and design and has paired that knowledge with his natural talents and creativity to develop this truly one-of-a-king website.

Duke’s favorite design is the Blizzard of 78, because it’s the most creative and he wanted to recreate the way so many of us went shopping during the blizzard. He says that at the time it was almost like a living Norman Rockwell experience.

However, the most popular ornament on MyLittleTown.com seems to be the U S Navy Fighting Seabee. Marcoccio tells us, “This piece reaches out to a global audience and happens to be the most intricate piece I have created, along with taking the most time to create. The average ornament takes between 5 – 7 months from start to finish. The Seabee took me over one year to perfect. I am a perfectionist and try to show as much detail as possible, right down to the correct PMS colors (pantone matching system).”

Take a look at MyLittleTown.com now to take advantage of several ongoing promotions and to see the distinctive style of customized ornaments, villages and village accessories.

Christmas Wreaths – Ornaments for Your Door!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

A fresh Christmas wreath sets the mood for the holidays.

Evergreens are a wonderful symbol of the holidays, and the aroma of a fresh noble fir and pine wreath brings back nostalgic memories of family and friends at Christmas. Holiday wreaths are considered ornaments in themselves as they add a festive touch to your door, and the Christmas wreaths are a perfect place to display your favorite ornaments too.

The Holiday Swag at ChristmasForest.com especially invites creativity, since its natural branches are perfect for hanging ornaments. We have seen beautiful displays of bird ornaments on the Holiday Swag and many Christmas Forest customers display the Christmas swag “upside down” so it really does look like a Christmas tree. Then they decorate it with colorful ornaments just like they would a Christmas tree. That is a great idea for anyone who has limited space, or just isn’t able to put up a large Christmas tree in their home or apartment.

The Christmas Forest wreaths not only are decorated with pine cones and your choice of bow, many of them also have pastel blue juniper berries and pale yellow incense buds on them to add even more color and forest fresh aroma to your Christmas. Another plus is that they are “greener” than artificial wreaths and the elves at Christmas Forest are careful to protect the environment. With pine cones, noble fir, princess pine, and natural berries, these gorgeous Christmas wreaths really are nature’s own ornaments.

Christmas Ornaments – Best Corporate Gifts

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Your logo will shine on a personalized Christmas ornament.

Why does your company give business gifts to clients and customers each year? Primarily, you want to thank them for their loyalty and you probably also want to stamp your business name in their minds in a way that will associate your company with a positive experience.

One of the best ways to create a lasting impression, is to make sure that your clients and customers link your business name with a pretty ornament. When your gift recipients enjoy a Christmas ornament personalized with your company name, they are going to remember that connection for a long time. What better way to build your customer relationships than to have your business joined with an attractive ornament in the minds of your customers?

What makes the choice of a personalized ornament stand out as your business gift this year is that ornaments are “keepers.” The traditional corporate calendar will be discarded after a year. The ink pen will eventually run out of ink, and when it does your customer may even link your good name to a pen that no longer works. An engraved or imprinted ornament will speak to your customer for a very long time and may demonstrate the solidity and longevity of your company.

Many corporations are ordering personalized ornaments that are not obviously Christmas, so that the ornaments are more likely to be displayed year round. There are hundreds of ornament stores that offer personalized ornaments with ornament stands for showing off your corporate gift. We are seeing more and more ornaments displayed in offices on desks, book shelves, and in reception areas.
