After reminiscing about my and Raymond’s Italian foodie adventure, I have pasta and pizza on the brain, so featuring this adorable felt pizza ornament seems more than appropriate! Handmade in northern Italy, this kawaii ornament is a cheery slice for your Christmas tree.
As I mentioned when writing about REI and Subaru’s partnership to support the ASPCA, my basset hound is my best friend. With their long ears and droopy faces, bassets are just the cutest! So I immediately fell in love with this adorable ceramic basset hound ornament. Available with red & white or tri-colour markings, you can purchase whichever handmade ornament best matches your dog’s colouring.
Having grown up with German shepherds all my life, they are one of my favorite breeds. And since my own sweet puppy is a shepherd/lab mix, I naturally like this card. 🙂 I love the whole scene: the snow, the cottage, the stocking, and especially the dog’s festive scarf. If your favorite pup is a different breed, check out the many other Christmas cards sold in this shop, such as bichon frise, schnauzer, basset hound, and more!
Featuring a mixture of peach, gold, ivory, and black, this quilted patchwork stocking would be eye-catching hanging from any mantel. With the cloud, deer, and arrow patterns, this stocking has an abstract woodland quality about it, and I really love the colour palette—even though it’s far from your classic Christmas colours. This Etsy shop has a variety of other fun, atypically coloured stockings, such as this burnt orange, grey, and black stocking or this blue, mustard, white, and grey stocking.
