There is a reason the ornament box is the one everyone fights over when the tree goes up. Store-bought baubles are pretty, but the ornaments people actually talk about are the ones with a name, a year and a story attached.
NM Studio makes personalized ceramic ornaments for most of the big milestones a year can hold. This guide walks through each one, with what you can personalize, the size and the current price, so you can find the right fit for the person on your list.
How NM Studio personalized ornaments work
All of the ornaments in this guide are white ceramic with the design printed on the front only; the back is plain white. You add your details with the Personalize button on each product page before adding it to your cart. The shop prints exactly what you enter, so check the spelling of every name and the order of every date.
There are two sizes in this collection:
- 2.76 inch circle of glossy white ceramic, about 1/8 inch thick, with a gold-toned hanging string
- Round ornament about 3.15 by 3 inches, 100% white ceramic, with a hanging ribbon
Each listing below notes which one you will get.

It is the 2.76 inch glossy circle with a gold-toned string, and the lowest-priced ornament here. Keep in mind that Hanukkah comes before Christmas, so plan this order earlier.

Personalized In Loving Memory Christmas Ornament, $15.39

Tips for ordering personalized ornaments
- Gather details before you start. Birth stats, wedding dates, move dates and coordinates are easy to get wrong from memory.
- Watch the date format. Decide on 12.25.2026 or December 25, 2026, and use it consistently.
- Order early. Every ornament is made to order. Each product page lists production details and a Christmas planning date, and the shop's FAQ covers production and shipping times.
A personalized ornament costs about the same as a nice candle. The difference is that it comes back out of the box every year with its story intact.
