Year after year, I’m always looking for unique holiday gifts for our family members. I know that some of the gifts our parents cherish the most are ones that capture our little ones as they grow.
I recently had the opportunity to create some custom photo ornaments via Walmart Photo and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!
They’re such a fun gift idea because they’ll be used year after year and on top of that they’re super affordable (many are under $10!) As you all know, over the years I’ve hand made ornaments both for our tree and as gifts and I look forward to pulling those out and decorating our tree with them each and every year. I know our family members will feel the same way about these special ornaments.
I was excited that the ornament selection included classic ceramic ornaments as well as metal and aluminum. I used photos from Lincoln’s newborn session to create ornaments that I’m gifting to family members this Christmas.
The first is this classic Season’s Greetings ornament. It is double-sided so that you can add a photo to one side of the ornament. I chose this photo of Harper holding Lincoln where she just has the most precious smile. The second ornament I chose is this metal snowflake. I picked out a family photo for this one since the size of the ornament allowed for a nice-sized photo. I was attracted to this sculpted oval photo ornament because it has such a classic red and white Christmas pattern and is very traditional looking. I opted for a black and white photo in this one to keep a balance between the bright red design of the ornament. Lastly, is this incredible glass ornament. I had no idea it was possible to print ornaments like this! It’s such a different look from a traditional ornament and this one is the largest of the four which worked so well for the photo of Lincoln with the greenery surrounding him. If you’re looking for a unique and special gift for friends or family members this holiday season, check out Walmart Photo for a variety of gift ideas— from ornaments to photo books and even blankets, you can print a custom gift that will be cherished by loved ones. Many of these photo gifts are available for free same-day pick-up in store and Walmart is offering free shipping on all cards and gifts through 12/30/15.

Hmmm… OK I love the first ornament but I have a few issues… When I upload my photo, it automatically crops the sides and doesn’t give me the option of repositioning it, nor previewing to see what exactly is going to fit in the circle and what will get cut of… In other words, there’s no proofing. Second, the writing on the back that you shared is lovely. The image that is shown on the website is different and quite frankly looks dated and ugly, and there’s no way to change it. How on earth did you get yours to look like that??
