Hallmark Keepsake Ornament October Debut!
Hi Friends,
As you know from my July Hallmark Ornament post, I am obsessed with Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments! I have been collecting for pretty much my entire life, and it’s a tradition for me and my mom to go to all of the ornament releases at our local Hallmark store. On October 6th the next batch of 2018 Hallmarks Keepsakes were released, and they did not disappoint (not that they ever do). I totally understand a lot of people will be thinking why Christmas in October? But in my mind it’s never too early for Christmas! Now is the time to prepare for the best season of the year with only 67 days until Christmas Day! Now, if you have a Hallmark store near you, run over there and see these ornaments in person! No picture can truly do them justice and all of the, already released, ornaments are on display in every Hallmark store around the country. Here are just a few of my favorite ornaments from the October debut. (but honestly they are all amazing, it was hard to just select a few)
1.Regal Reindeer
Regal Reindeer is a porcelain ornament so it’s a bit weighty. However, if it wasn’t porcelain it wouldn’t be as gorgeous. The white sheen and the metallic gold antlers make it so beautiful. The dangling ornaments from his antlers are the perfect touch to make it even better! I was surprised at how gorgeous this ornament is in person! The light from the Christmas tree is really going to make him sparkle!
2. Cookin’ Up a Little Yum
This little guys is so stinking cute! He’s on the small side which is perfect for my baking themed tree in my kitchen. My grandma and I used to bake together whenever she came to visit and she used to collect snowmen so it’s a perfect homage to her. Plus just look at his sweet little face!
3.Disney Mickey Mouse Partners
This is one of my faves for obvious reasons….. DISNEY! It’s the same as the statue in the center of Disneyland. The details on both of their faces are amazing, considering its sooooo much smaller than the actual statue!
4. Nifty Fifties Keepsake Angel Tree Topper
This is part of the Nifty Fifties series. My mom and I have them all but its cute even as a stand alone ornament. I love the retro feel, her face details and the glitter on the star behind her really make her great!
5. Merriest House in Town
Merriest House in Town requires a Keepsake power cord because it sings and lights up! As if it wasn’t cute enough it plays a light show synchronized to Joy to the World! However I think my favorite part is Santa sticking out of the chimney!
6. Mini Stylin’ Santa
Being a mini ornament, the tiny size just adds to the charm of this ornament. The wheel at the bottom twists Santa’s outfit, so you can switch him to match the activity of your choice! He can be in his pajamas at night or swimming during the day and of course you can never go wrong with his classic suit! My fave is Santa Swimming!
7. Hello Kitty® Gingerbread House
I think this Hello kitty ornament needs no explanation as to why it’s one of my faves. Just look at the hello kitty shaped window on the back of the house or the bow on the top! Plus it has glitter! Too adorable!
8. Mini Elegant Snowflake
We collect all of the mini ornaments as well. But this is so beautiful! It really catches the light and shines so bright. It really takes on different colors depending on the time of day and where you have it. Just lovely!
9. Old World Santa
Last but not least this Santa is porcelain so he requires a bit more of a gentle touch but he is worth it! His chubby cute face and his gorgeous painted coat are my favorite parts but also the Swarovski crystals on him will really sparkle with the Christmas lights!
That’s it! Again these are just a few of my favorite ornaments that were released during the Hallmark Keepsake October ornament debut. There were many more and I highly suggest at least going to look at them! Worth the trip! I hope everyone is getting excited about the holidays! Until next time………..
