Personalised Ornaments

Why Choose Custom Christmas Ornaments for Your Tree?

A custom Christmas ornament lets you choose details linked to a person, family or milestone. Depending on the design, you can add a photo, names, family members, pets, a short message or an illustration. Choose a simple name led decoration or a more detailed personalised family Christmas decoration. You can hang our ornaments on a Christmas tree, include them in a seasonal display or choose one as a Christmas present.

Which Ornament Material Should You Choose?

Choose the material for custom Christmas ornaments according to the construction, surface and type of personalisation you want. Acrylic has the widest range of formats in our collection, while wood, glass and ceramic each bring a different look to the finished ornament.

Custom Acrylic Ornaments

Acrylic gives us the broadest choice of shapes and constructions in this collection. Alongside flat clear ornaments for photos, names and short messages, we have ball shapes, layered pieces and designs with a 3D printing effect. Squishy acrylic ornaments add a raised element, while money holder styles combine a hanging decoration with a slot for cash, useful when the gift itself is meant to be the cash inside. Selected sizes include 3.5 in, 4.5 in and 5.5 in, with one sided UV printing and a hanging rope. Prices start from £12.95, making acrylic a flexible option for both traditional custom ornaments and more unusual formats.

Personalized Wooden Ornaments

The natural grain is one of the defining features of our personalised wooden ornaments, with the surface forming part of the overall appearance rather than simply sitting behind the print — a choice worth making if you'd rather see the wood itself than a plain printed background. Standard pieces use a flat construction; selected styles introduce a hanging tag or a second layer for extra depth. Our wooden designs cover 3.5 in, 4.5 in and 5.5 in sizes on selected ornaments and use UV printing, with prices from £12.95. You can personalise these custom Christmas ornaments with a name, family detail or a couple design, depending on the style chosen.

Customised Glass Ornaments

Shape plays a bigger role in our glass ornaments, which include flat panels, heart shaped pieces and baubles rather than one standard construction. Flat pieces have bevelled edges. Selected designs use one sided UV printing and come with a rope for hanging. At 8 cm, glass sits larger than the acrylic and wooden sizes, so it suits someone who wants a more noticeable piece on the tree rather than a small keepsake. Starting at £12.95, our personalised glass ornaments include photo, family, couple and memorial designs.

Custom Ceramic Ornaments

For ceramic, the smooth surface provides a straightforward base for personalised Christmas decorations, whether you want to use a name, message, photo or illustration. The ornaments measure 2.91 in, use one sided UV printing and include a hanging rope. Prices begin at £12.95. Our personalised ceramic ornaments suit family, couple, pet, memorial and Christmas themes, particularly when the artwork itself is meant to be the main feature.

Other Personalised Ornaments

Beyond the four main material groups, our collection also includes ornaments with different constructions, textures and formats. These options are worth considering when you want the ornament to have a different structure or a more distinctive format than a conventional flat decoration.

Frame Ornament keeps the artwork within a framed construction. Selected designs cover family names, couple themes and pet memorial photos, including Family Frame Ornament with Names and In Loving Memory Watercolour Pet Memorial Photo Frame Ornament. The Frame Ornament format is priced at £18.95.

DIY Diamond Art Ornament takes a different approach by using a personalised photo as the subject of the diamond art. Personalised Cat Christmas Decorations, Cat Photo DIY Diamond Art Ornament is one example, priced at £31.95. This format can be considered when the photo itself is the main feature you want to carry into the finished ornament.

Current product pages show selected acrylic, wood, glass and ceramic ornaments from £12.95, although individual designs, promotions and formats can differ.

Custom Christmas Ornaments for Every Important Occasion

From first Christmases and wedding milestones to growing families and new homes, personalised ornaments can mark different moments throughout the festive season. Names, dates, photos and artwork can be incorporated into designs according to the occasion, with each style taking a different approach to personalisation.

Couple Milestones

A first Christmas as newlyweds gives couples a clear milestone to mark on the tree. Personalised designs can feature two names, a wedding year or date, alongside matching couple artwork. For a more photo-led ornament, use an image from the wedding or another memorable moment rather than adding extra wording.

Growing Family Milestones

Baby's First Christmas designs focus on the arrival of a new family member, while family of three and family of four ornaments bring parents and children into the same decoration. A personalised first Christmas ornament can record the baby's name and first festive season, while selected styles also feature pets, family photos or illustrations. These formats work for new parents as well as families adding another member.

Remembering Loved Ones at Christmas

When a loved one or pet is being remembered during the festive season, a memorial ornament can bring their name, photograph or remembrance wording into the Christmas display. Photo designs keep a familiar image at the centre, whereas text-led styles put more emphasis on the name and message. Glass photo formats provide another option for buyers who want the photograph to remain the main feature.

Weddings, Anniversaries and New Homes

Wedding and anniversary ornaments focus on the dates and details that define a couple's relationship. Names, a wedding year or date can be added to a personalised wedding Christmas ornament, while later anniversary designs provide a way to record another year together. New home designs shift the focus to the household itself, with names, dates or artwork available according to the selected style.

Personalised Christmas Decorations for Loved Ones

Our personalised Christmas decorations include designs for couples, families, friends and pet lovers, with different ornament formats and personalisation options across our collection. The choice can start with who the decoration is for, then narrow down by the style, size and details available for that design.

• Couples: For a partner or spouse, you can choose a couple-focused ornament that reflects a shared moment, from wedding artwork to a simple name-led design. It can sit alongside the main Christmas decorations or be kept as a small keepsake after the festive season.

• Families: A personalised family ornament  brings the household into one decoration, whether displayed on the main tree or given as a shared Christmas present. Larger formats can be considered when the design needs to include more people without making the finished piece feel crowded.

• Friends: Our custom ornaments can work as a smaller Christmas present for a close friend, particularly when you want something beyond a standard festive decoration. A shared photo, name or short message can add a personal detail without taking over the whole design.

• Pet Lovers: Pet-themed ornaments are an option for dog and cat owners who want their companion included in the Christmas display. Choose a style that keeps the pet as the main visual detail, whether that is a photo, illustrated portrait or name-led design.

How Much Do Custom Christmas Ornaments Cost?

Price changes according to material, size, shape and level of finish, not only by design. Selected current products start at £12.95. Check your chosen product page for the exact format and size.

A few starting points, based on what you need the ornament for:

• Small gift or stocking filler: choose an acrylic or wood ornament in the 3.5 in size.

• Family, wedding or photo gifts: pick a larger format such as the 5.5 in, so names and photos stay easy to read.

• Memorial gifts: a glass photo ornament is worth considering where the listed design has clear glass and bevelled edges.

Choosing the Right Size and Style for Custom Ornaments

Size decides how much you can fit onto an ornament, and how it sits alongside everything else already on your tree. Acrylic and wood designs share the same three-size range, so the same choice applies to both materials.

• 3.5 in - compact and understated: the smallest of the three sizes, and a natural fit for a stocking filler or a tree already carrying a lot of other ornaments.

• 4.5 in - room for a photo or short text: stepping up in size gives a photo or a longer line of text more room to stay legible from a normal viewing distance.

• 5.5 in - built for detail: the largest option suits family photos, several names together, or a design meant to stand out rather than blend in with smaller pieces.

Glass ornaments don't follow the same scale, with selected flat glass designs measuring 8 cm rather than inches. It's worth checking the listed dimensions on the glass product page instead of assuming that the acrylic and wood sizing carries across.

Designing Your Custom Christmas Ornament at Custom Chic

Personalising an ornament at Custom Chic follows the same three steps across our collection, whichever material or format you choose.

Step 1: Choose the Ornament Style and Material

Start by picking a material, whether that is acrylic, wood, glass or ceramic, then choose the specific format and size within that material such as a heart, bauble, layered piece or frame.

Step 2: Add the Available Personal Details

Depending on the design you have chosen, you may be asked for names, a photo, a date, family details, a pet name or a short message. Selected product pages include a preview, so you can check the layout before adding the ornament to your basket.

Step 3: Review Size, Material and Design Before Ordering

Check the selected size, material, personalisation fields and preview before placing the order. Our ornaments are made to order, and current shipping information lists ornament production at 2 to 4 working days followed by 3 to 5 working days for UK shipping.

Caring for Personalised Ornaments

Personalised ornaments can be kept looking their best with simple care after use. The main points to consider are the material, the printed surface and how each piece is handled during cleaning and storage. 

Caring for Glass Personalised Ornaments

Glass needs a gentler touch than the other materials, mainly because of the printed surface and the risk of impact damage:

• Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth;

• Keep the hanging rope secure so the ornament doesn't swing into anything;

• Avoid impacts that could crack or chip the glass;

• Skip strong cleaning products on the UV-printed surface.

Caring for Acrylic, Wood and Ceramic Custom Ornaments

Acrylic, wood and ceramic pieces follow broadly similar care, though the exact instructions can vary by product:

• Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, as specified on selected product pages;

• Check the individual product listing for material-specific guidance;

• Dry each ornament fully before putting it away after Christmas;

• Wrap pieces separately in storage to avoid scratches and knocks.
