Design Their First Ornament $20 · Ceramic heart · Prints the same on both sides
A baby's first Christmas ornament from Custom Envy (Columbus, Ohio, since 2012) is a made-to-order keepsake printed from your newborn photo with a name and the year: a glossy ceramic heart or circle about 3 inches across, printed the same on both sides, with a gold hanging string included. You design it in an online editor that shows the exact shaped cut before you order.

An Ornament That Is Actually About Your People.

Printed on Both Sides

The glossy ceramic shapes print the same design on the front and the back, so the photo never hangs backwards when the branch turns.

The three ornament styles side by side: glossy ceramic shapes, the vintage-style ceramic ball, and the cast pewter snowflake

Three Styles, One Photo

Four glossy ceramic shapes (circle, heart, star, and snowflake), a vintage-style ball with a molded tree or bell on the reverse, and a cast pewter snowflake with a round photo center. One photo works across all of them.

How do you make a custom photo ornament?

  1. Step 1

    Pick a style and shape

    Choose a glossy ceramic circle, heart, star, or snowflake, the vintage-style ball with a tree or bell back, or the cast pewter snowflake. Go single, or pick a same-design set of 3, 5, or 10.

  2. Step 2

    Add your photo and text

    Upload the photo and add names, a date, or a short line. The live preview shows your design inside the exact cut shape, so you see the finished ornament before you order.

  3. Step 3

    We print it to order

    Every ornament is made to order from the design you approve, with its gold string, gold ribbon, or silver-toned string included and ready for the branch.

We Check Your Photo Before We Print

QUALITY PROMISE

We Check Your Photo Before We Print

Low-resolution uploads and tight crops are the most common reason a photo ornament disappoints. Every design gets a photo-resolution check before it prints, and if your photo's resolution is too low for a crisp print, we reach out. The live preview shows the exact shaped cut before you order.

  • Every uploaded photo is checked for resolution before it goes to print
  • If your photo's resolution is too low for a crisp print, we reach out first
  • The live preview shows the exact shaped cut, so what you approve is what we print

Preview Before You Buy

The live preview shows the exact shaped cut of your ornament, so you see precisely what will print before you order.

Every ornament comes with its hanging string or ribbon: gold for the ceramic styles, silver-toned for the pewter snowflake.

Baby's First Christmas Ornament Ideas

The classic first-Christmas ornament is one photo from the first weeks with a first name and the year underneath. The ceramic heart is the traditional pick, the circle shows the most of a wider photo, and because the ceramic shapes print the same design on both sides, it looks right no matter how it turns on the branch.

Many families make it an annual tradition: the newborn photo this year, the first-birthday photo the next, and a tree that slowly becomes a timeline. Grandparents usually want the same photo on their own tree, which is exactly what the same-design sets of 3, 5, or 10 are for.

What to Put on a First Christmas Ornament

Keep it simple: the photo, the name, and the year. A close crop of the face prints best at ornament size, and the editor previews the exact cut shape so you can balance the photo and the text before you order. Every upload gets a resolution check, and if the photo is too small for a crisp print, we reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ceramic heart is the classic first-Christmas pick: the newborn photo with a name and the year underneath, printed the same on both sides. If your favorite photo is a wider shot, the circle shows the most of it. Both are about 3 inches with a gold string included.
