Ornaments With Love Review and Giveaway (Christmas Wish List 2010)



Ever since I was a little girl my mother use to go to the mall every year during the Christmas season and pick up a personalized ornament for our tree, most of the time it was a family ornament with all of our names on it but there were them rare occasions when she would pick up a milestone ornament or a memorial ornament, so naturally when my husband and I got married we started the tradition as well and when “Bug” was born we had an even bigger reason to add an ornament to the tree so when I was given the opportunity to choose one of the personalized Christmas Tree Ornaments from Ornaments With Love I was thrilled and I couldn’t wait to get shopping!!!

About Ornaments With Love (Taken From Website):

About Ornaments with Love Inc.
Ornaments with Love is a company run by a family that has been in the retail gifts business for over 50 years.

For the past 16 years, we have taken our experience and applied it to selling personalized Christmas ornaments in Connecticut and Washington, DC area malls, 6 years on the Internet.

You may have seen us in Tyson's Corner, Montgomery, Lakeforest or Trumbull Malls.

Expert Personalization
We take great pride in the quality of our personalization because we realize that the manner in which an ornament is personalized is the key to achieving ultimate customer satisfaction. All of our personalizers have excellent handwriting and the ability to infuse additional warmth into an already warm, beautiful ornament.

In addition, each individual order placed with Ornaments with Love will be done by a single personalizer so that the lettering for each of the ornaments ordered will be consistent.

Note: The personalization on your ornaments may not be identical to the personalization on the samples on the Web site but will, without a doubt, be held to the same standard of excellence. In addition, the use of upper and lower case letters may be mixed and will be chosen at the discretion of what the personalizer feels would work best on the ornament selected.

Why our ornaments make the perfect gift!
We have always felt that our ornaments give people the opportunity to give their loved ones a personal present that is a true expression of love. But our loyal customers over the past 9 years continuously reinforce those feelings with a myriad of reasons why our ornaments make the perfect gifts, and may also give you some ideas of what types of ornaments to choose for your own family and friends.

Our Thoughts:

We were able to choose our own special personalized ornament from their 2000+ Personalized Christmas Ornaments and let me tell you it was a heck of a task there were so many adorable ornaments we could have chose but I knew around about what I wanted so it was narrowed down but still took us some time to decide but we finally decided to go with the Personalized Polar Bear Family Christmas Ornament with 3 people and we decided to include our puppy Cash since he is part of the family!!

Our ornament arrived very quickly and was packaged extremely well and did not receive any type of damage during shipment or delivery so that is always a good thing to note since this is my first time actually ordering our Christmas ornament online vs. making a trip to the mall to get it so I’m very impressed with the shipping speed and packaging! Once I got it all unwrapped, I knew what to expect but it still caught me a little off guard at how beautiful this piece actually was, it was just so perfect for our family and our tree this year and let me tell you “Bug” was thrilled to see a new ornament with our names on it and picked his out right away and then we decided to place it in the very front of our tree for everyone to see and it look beautiful and I have already had several visitors comment about how adorable it is!!!!

I feel like this ornament is very high quality and I’m looking forward to having it apart of our tree and Christmas décor for many years to come, I love that I was able to personalize each bear with our names and add the Grants 2010 in the middle so we will never forget what year we added it to our collection and the fact that I was able to add our dog Cash with his own cute little dog bowl on the ornament was just an added bonus because he is truly a huge part of our family since “Bug” considers him his little brother (not sure why though!!!) it just makes it all that much more personal and special!

Bottom Line:

The whole process of choosing the ornament and personalizing it was super easy after deciding on which one was best for us, and the customer service at Ornaments With Love is amazing so the whole experience has been wonderful and I now know I don’t have to make the long trip to the mall to get our annual ornament because I can get it from the comfort of my own home and I now have many more to choose from when shopping from Ornaments With Love and I have a feeling they are going to now be included in our yearly tradition!!

I totally recommend checking out Ornaments With Love for your personalized ornament needs this and well every holiday season because your sure to get the best selection where you are sure to find the perfect ornament and some of the best customer service and shipping you could ever imagine!!! Also a little side note if you are looking for the perfect gift for the grandparents this year Ornaments With Love has you covered they have a very nice selection of large Family Christmas Ornaments where you can customize them with all the grandchildren and really give the grandparents joy this holiday season and for many seasons to come! Not only do the offer Family Christmas Ornaments but they have a wide selection of Baby Christmas Ornaments, Wedding Christmas Ornaments and Angel Christmas Ornaments, so I'm sure you will be able to find the perfect ornament for your tree!!
