Frequently Asked Questions
Are glass ornaments safe for homes with children?
Glass options like those from Old World Christmas are beautiful but fragile—opt for shatterproof plastic alternatives like SHareconn balls for kid-friendly setups.
Can ornaments be used outside of Christmas?
Absolutely! Easter egg sets from Lillian Vernon or neutral crafting blanks work for spring parties, weddings, or perpetual décor.
How do I store ornaments properly?
Use divided boxes or original packaging to prevent scratches. Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to preserve colors and shine.
What's the difference between blown glass and plastic ornaments?
Blown glass offers artisanal sparkle and detail, ideal for tradition; plastic provides affordability, durability, and bold hues for high-traffic areas.
