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.

Include every member of the family in a personalized ornament.
Montana artist Peggy Kupper has been in the personalized Christmas ornament business for over 25 years. Ornaments with family names have always been a favorite of her customers. However, until recently, she had no way for her customers to create an ornament to fit every size family and even change to growing families. Thus Peggy used her artistic talents and her creative mind to design the Family Charm Ornament line.
The concept behind the Family Charm Ornaments is simple but yet brilliant. Start with a header ornament and then select from a wide variety of different charms to build a unique personalized family keepsake that includes all the family members and the pets too. The end result… smiles and joy. The ornaments have been an instant hit with the customers who have so much fun designing and building them. Designs range from Christmas, wildlife, sports, mountain, ocean, cats, dogs, weddings, farm animals, and more.
With the success of the ornaments, Peggy enrolled the help of her family to build a website for these personalized ornaments, FamilyOrnament.com. As a family they needed to find an innovative but simple way to capture the smiles on the customer’s faces when they built these ornaments, and then somehow digitize that into a website. Peggy’s two sons Ben and Alex, who both have backgrounds in computers, set out to develop the website. Using a drag and drop concept with the website, they were able to give the customer virtually the same experience online building an ornament as they would if they were doing it in person. Through FamilyOrnament.com Peggy is able to offer her customers a unique approach to personalized family memories. Build your personalized ornament now.

Make personalized ornaments one of your family traditions.
Have you ever noticed that no two Christmas trees look alike? Whether the tree was cut in a forest or assembled out of a box, once it has been decorated, that tree is like no other. The secret lies in the decoration. Christmas ornaments personalize your Christmas tree. Just like snowflakes, no two Christmas trees are alike because the ornaments and combinations of ornaments are different. Christmas ornaments are not just great looking decorations to hang on your Christmas tree each year, they give your tree the exceptional character that makes it unique and special. Personalized ornaments are especially a nice way to mark celebrations and become almost like a family album as you unpack them each year.
Bryna Bell is the owner of OrnamentsWithLove.com which offers over 1400+ personalized ornaments for any occasion. Byrna explains that as your tree becomes personal with the way you decorate it, the ornaments can be made personal and unique as well. Ornaments can be personalized by having the name of the recipient professionally placed on the ornament as it is finished. When completed, the personalization becomes a part of the design of the ornament.
Although personalized Christmas ornaments come in various sizes and shapes and are made from various materials, they have one thing in common in that you cant buy them off the shelf. These personalized ornaments must be individually ordered, specifying the type of personalization you desire. This can be the name of a family member or a friend, a date or even a memorable quote. The personalization is performed professionally and the ornament is then carefully finished, packaged and delivered within a few days of the date you ordered it.
Byrna says that it is important to realize that personalized ornaments are not only gifts for Christmas. When an ornament is personalized with a person’s name and date of the special event, it makes it a wonderful way to remember the day and the person who gave them the gift and becomes part of a tangible timeline of some of the more memorable moments in a person’s life. Important dates such as a graduation, the birth of a child or a wedding are relived again and again. These special hand-decorated ornaments will often be personalized with the name of the person they are given to and will contain a special message such as Happy 21st Birthday or World’s Greatest Mom.
Most personalized ornaments can be purchased online from reputable vendors and many cost under $20, making them a memorable yet inexpensive gift for the holidays that will be enjoyed year after year by the people who receive them. With such competitive prices, personalized ornaments are in the league with greeting cards and will be around for much longer. The thoughtfulness of a personalized ornament is always appreciated. When the family gathers around the tree to decorate it, fond memories will be recalled as each personalized ornament is carefully unwrapped and hung on the tree. When you order a personalized ornament, it sends the message that you care.

Wealthwood Gifts, Inc. helps shoppers find just the right personalized ornament.
When the Christmas holiday begins to get closer, some people may be tempted to just grab whatever they can to send as a gift. We have all been in a place where very little thought goes into our choice of a gift. This happens in large part because we may feel there is a lack of time to really think about what the individual would appreciate. However, it doesn’t take that long to stop and think about how a personalized glass Christmas holiday ornament is perfect for just about everyone on your list. A customized ornament can become your “signature” gift that friends, clients and family look forward to receiving. They will expect an ornament for all of the happy occasions, and they will know that you will come up with just the right words and design to help them celebrate. In presenting them with new ornaments for all of your shared holidays, you may be helping someone start a new ornament collection. More fun!
With the choices in design that are offered, every personalized glass Christmas ornament will be unique and reflect the gift recipient’s personality. Personalized ornaments are simple to order, and the designs are almost unlimited. Personalized glass Christmas ornaments can be used to commemorate many things, such as the first Christmas of a married couple, a baby’s first Christmas, or even graduation from college. Some of the designs can be used year-round to give as gifts for other holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, or just because you care. Personalized glass ornaments also make great sun catchers to dress up a window and send a little extra shine into someone’s life.
It is easy to see why personalized ornaments are so popular and why more personalized ornament designs are being created daily.

Collect personalized ornaments to represent almost every occupation & career.
Since 1990, the owners of Christmas Spirit Shop have lived up to their name and have made it their mission to spread Christmas cheer and happiness with their unique Christmas ornaments. Pete and Beverly Bono are dedicated to their customers, and they have always had the goal of serving them with the finest ornaments of the USA. The ornaments are all handcrafted in Maine by American artists and are sold and distributed by the happy elves at Christmas Spirit Shop. Based in Bar Harbor, Maine, the ornaments business is committed to the community and makes sure that the local ornaments artists who design the handcrafted personalized ornaments are fairly compensated.
Name almost any career or job and you will find at least one personalized ornament celebrating that occupation at Christmas Spirit Shop. The list is almost A-Z with personalized ornaments for accountants and X-Ray technicians. There are quite a few career ornaments for more obscure occupations that you wouldn’t expect to find, such as ice cream scoopers and speech therapists. Alot of these personalized ornaments have been designed as the Bonos listened to their customers and new ornament designs are often created when someone asks for a custom career ornament. Then, that ornament becomes available for others as well. So if you have an idea for a career ornament, Christmas Spirit Shop is listening.
Another great idea for Christmas Gifts are the business group ornaments which cleverly display the names and “faces” of up to 40 employees on the Christmas tree ornament. While the career ornaments collection is extensive, they are just one small part of the diverse personalized ornaments at Christmas Spirit Shop. They also offer many other styles and types of ornaments which you will want to see. As a free bonus, they will personalize any of the handcrafted ornaments with hand lettering.
