TGIF

Happy Friday everyone! What plans do you have for the weekend? We will be busy here at The Ornament Factory getting orders shipped out from the Fall Into Savings Sale that is currently going on. We here at The Ornament Factory try our best to get you your orders in a timely manner.

After we are done working, I have a lot I want to get done this weekend. The weather should be nice so I need to get outside and do some yard work. It’s also a great time to get my Halloween decorations out. I already have my Halloween tree up because I was so excited to put it up! I have a black tree with orange and red lights with all my Hallmark Ornaments on it. Just looking at it makes me smile. Check out all of the Hallmark Halloween Ornaments we have here. My favorite Hallmark Halloween ornament on my tree is the Waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

I look forward to the Charlie Brown Movies around the holidays.

I’m really excited about one of the 2018 Hallmark Ornaments, Glo Worm! These were a very popular toy when we were kids that has made a come back. When you squeeze it, it lights up!

It is really fun that Hallmark has made ornaments of many of the toys we had as kids. It brings back wonderful memories that we can share with our families. What are some of your favorite childhood toys that Hallmark made into ornaments?

The 2018 Hallmark Ornament release will be here before we know it! October 6th is the big day! Have you had a chance to look at them? You still have time to pre-order ones that you would like.

Back to Halloween, all of the elves and I have been trying to decide what to dress up as for Halloween. We have done many creative things in the past and are having a hard time deciding what to be this year. Maybe you, our loyal readers, can help and give is some suggestions. And yes, before anyone asks, we go trick-or-treating just like everyone else. We have to watch Ben the elf will all his candy. He likes to get a sugar high and will never go to bed. It is pretty funny to watch.

The rest of my plans for the weekend are pretty standard. I have some cleaning and laundry to get done. I was thinking about doing some meal prep for the week. We are just getting more and more busy here at The Ornament Factory so having meals ready to go after work is helpful.

Hope you all have a great Friday!

What Is the Best Way to Buy 2018 Hallmark Ornaments?

Hallmark ornaments

If you are a huge Hallmark Ornament fan or are considering becoming a collector, you might be wondering what the best way is to get your hands on the most popular and coolest Hallmark Ornaments for Halloween and Christmas this year. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a Hallmark store nearby, but the good news is that if you have a computer, you can buy the 2018 Hallmark ornaments online. However, no matter where you buy, you have to come up with a plan to make sure that you don’t miss out.

Make a List and Check it Twice

Hallmark ornaments are highly desirable, some series more than others. When they hit the shelves of your local Hallmark store, they are likely to sell out in a day or two, or maybe even earlier. Make a list of everything you want to buy ahead of time so that you can watch release dates and not miss out. Some people mistakenly think ornaments are available year round. However, special edition Hallmark ornaments are a one-time release, which is why they are so collectible.

Watch for Release Dates

Hallmark doesn’t keep release dates hidden or secret. If you collect a specific type of Keepsake ornament, make sure to check its release date. You don’t want to miss this year because you didn’t stay on top of things. A sneak preview is set for October 6th, 2018. To get ahead of the buying competition, make a note of important dates in order to be at the front of the line either at the store or online.

Buy From a Reputable Dealer

Not all Hallmark ornaments sold online are original and genuine. If you don’t see the Hallmark trademark, proceed with caution. Buying from online bid sites or non-authorized dealers is never a good idea. To get the real deal, go to the brick and mortar stores or order from a licensed seller. Otherwise you might be disappointed.

Going, Going, Gone

Preordering is the best way to ensure you aren’t out of luck, so don’t procrastinate. Waiting to order until it’s too late will leave you feeling left out. If there is an option to preorder, do so. It is much better to order in advance than to find out your favorite collection is gone.

The best way to see the latest and great Hallmark ornaments is up close and personal in-store. Unfortunately, however, not everyone has a brick and mortar store nearby. If you are going to buy online, make sure that you are buying from an authorized dealer like The Ornament Factory. If you aren’t sure of a site’s reputation, take a pass. Always look for the Hallmark trademark to ensure you are getting what you pay for. 

The Santa Tree

Don’t forget to check out the contest we have going on. We posted about it on Tuesday here on the blog and on Facebook, Twitter, and Instgram. You could win a really cool ornament for you tree!

The elves have all been busy with work and their social activities lately. You would not believe all of the things they’re involved in. I’ll let them share that with you when they have time to blog.

For me, I have been busy here at The Ornament Factory and spending time with my family and the other elves. This time of year I spend a lot of my time working in the yard. This grass grows so fast right now! Since Fall is here I am trying to get my flower beds cleaned out and the mum planted.

My Halloween tree is up and looking beautiful! It is so relaxing and enjoying putting up my trees. My favorite tree is my Santa tree. I have been collecting Hallmark Ornaments of Santa for a very long time. It brings me such great joy to see all of them hung up on a lite Christmas tree.

My newest addition for the Santa tree this year is the 2018 Toymaker Santa. This one is really fitting for this year since all of the elves and I have been involved in many different sports this year.

You can see all of the Toymaker Santa collection here. Have you been thinking about starting to collect a specific collection? or do you already have a collection started? It’s never too late to start collecting!

Don’t forget about the Fall Into Saving Sale currently going on. This would be a great time to start or add to your current collection of Hallmark Ornaments. To see all of the details about the sale you can go to our website http://www.hallmarkornaments.com

So Many Series….so Many Trees

Hallmark ornaments come in so many different series! As we are working and seeing all the different ornaments I imagine all of the different trees we could decorate! One of the series that stood out to me this morning as we were working was the Dr. Suess series.

The Dr. Seuss series started back in 1998 with The Grinch.

hallmark_1998_grinch.jpg

This series has continued to have more ornaments of the Grinch from different parts of the story but has also included ornaments for other classic Dr. Suess books like One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish.

Another favorite Hallmark Ornament series is the Mary’s Angels series. These angelic ornaments date back to 1988 with the first May’s Angels called Buttercup.

1988_buttercup_marys_angels.jpg

This popular series has been around for over 30 years now. The new 2018 Hallmark Ornament from Mary’s Angels is Allium. There is even a Halloween ornament from 2016 called, Sweet Trick-or-treater in the collection!

1299QX9366_thumbnail.jpg

These are just two of the many series that are available at the Ornament Factory. There is something for everyone to collect and share. We would love to hear about and see the Hallmark Ornament series that you collect. You can share pictures with us on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and here!

Hope you all have a sparkling Wednesday! I know I am! I hear we’re having tacos for dinner!

Thank you for reading my blog post!

Elliott the head elf 🙂

Taco Tuesday on a Wednesday….

Hey everyone! I have so much to update you on! Ben the elf here! We all are so excited for October 6 when the new 2018 Hallmark Ornaments are released! Have you had a chance to look at them? If not you can here.  All of the Halloween trees are up and looking great! Do you have a Halloween tree? I’d love to see them! You can post a picture here or on any of our other social media pages! Check out all of the Halloween Hallmark Ornaments here.

In other news, my brother, Nathan the elf, lost another tooth!! This is the second one in like a week! He’s not missing both if his front teeth. He kind of whistles when he talks now. He was so excited about those teeth coming out. He had a little help from one of the other elves mom to get it out. It was quick and painless!

As Halloween is getting here all of us elves are trying to decide what to dress up as for Halloween. Do you have any suggestions? I think Jackson and Daniel might dress up as Cars characters. They love the Cars movies. Did you know there are is a Cars Hallmark Ornament in the 2018 Hallmark Ornaments?

Or if you just like Lightning McQueen, here is another Hallmark Ornament you might like.

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes last week! I had a wonderful birthday! It is always nice being able to celebrate with my family. All of the other elves made me feel so special! What is your favorite thing to do for your birthday? My dad’s birthday is coming up soon. He gets to go to a special football game he loves going to. That gives me a great idea!! We can put together a football tree for him! We have so many football ornaments to choose from at The Ornament Factory.

I know that today is Wednesday and you should have tacos for dinner on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday but we’re having tacos tonight for dinner and I’m so excited! I love tacos!

Back to work for me! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Start Your Own Hallmark Ornament Collection This Holiday Season!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday from all of the elves here at the Ornament Factory! Although fall is just arriving, winter will be upon us before you know it. If you are looking to set a new tradition for the holidays, collecting Hallmark ornaments it the perfect way to build memories. A Hallmark ornament collection is one of those things that you will look forward to every year when your tree goes up, and it is something that the entire family can get on board with. All of the elves have different Hallmark ornament collections they add to each year. Which type of Hallmark ornament collection do you want to begin? It depends on what makes you happy!

Are You a Traditionalist like Eliot?

For the traditionalist at heart, the 2018 Hallmark Memories & Traditions collection is always a favorite. From Santa’s Christmas Clock to 2018 Baby’s First Christmas, Boy or Girl, there is a Hallmark ornament to conjure up something special every year. From old family favorites like the 2018 Believe Bell – Polar Express to the 2018 Charlie Brown Christmas collection, there is something to match your style guaranteed!

Are You a Fan like Brandon?

What are you passionate about? Maybe it’s a movie or a sport. Whatever it is, there’s a Hallmark ornament for you to start your collection. For the car enthusiast, there is the 2018 1968 Ford Mustang. For the Star Wars groupie, the 2018 Star Wars: Death Star. Choose what inspires you, and go from there. Collecting will become one of your favorite pre-holiday activities. 

Are You Into Mini Things?

The tiniest but most spectacular collection is the 2018 Hallmark Miniature Ornaments. They are small enough to fit into the palm of your little one’s hand. And, every Christmas it will be a treat to see how much smaller they get in comparison. Whether you choose the 2018 Baby Fairy Messenger #4 or the 2018 Creature Was Stirring #3, they are all equally cute!

Are You the “Halloween Starts the Holidays” Type like Nathan?

For the person who can’t wait until the holidays and starts to jump the gun before Halloween, the 2018 Hallmark Halloween Ornaments are perfect. Start displaying your Halloween Ornaments to get everyone in the mood for Christmas to come. The 2018 Halloween Spooky Snoopy is perfect for the Charlie Brown fan, or the 2018 Halloween Sugar Skull Gal is just right for a little scary start.

If you aren’t collecting Hallmark Ornaments yet, what are you waiting for? There is nothing better than growing a collection that makes you happy. With over 200 new ornaments to choose from every year, it will never get old. The limited edition Hallmark ornaments sell out in one to two days, so if you see something you like, don’t hesitate or you will be out of luck. Check out the latest Hallmark ornaments, and be sure to preorder today so you don’t miss out!
