Description
A beautiful ornament may be the star of the Christmas tree, but a few small accessories make collecting them much easier! Boxes help protect ornaments when they are given as gifts or packed away, hangers provide a simple way to position them on the tree, and ornament stands let special pieces leave the branches entirely and become part of a tabletop display.
Ornament boxes are especially useful for glass ornaments and other dimensional designs that deserve a little protection. Different shapes and sizes accommodate everything from smaller ornaments to larger or unusually proportioned pieces. They also make presentation easier when an ornament is being given as a gift. Add tissue or other appropriate packing material as needed, close the box and the ornament feels ready to become part of someone else's Christmas collection.
Wire ornament hangers are one of those humble Christmas supplies that you never think about until you run out halfway through decorating the tree. Their simple shape allows ornaments to hang neatly from branches without competing visually with the decoration itself. Keeping extras with your ornament collection can make decorating considerably easier, particularly when older hangers have become bent or misplaced.
An ornament stand does something completely different. Instead of placing a favorite piece among hundreds of ornaments on the tree, a stand gives it a display space of its own. Use one on a shelf, mantel or tabletop with bottle brush trees and small figures, or showcase an especially meaningful ornament where its details can be appreciated throughout the season. Sometimes an ornament deserves its own little spotlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size ornament gift box?
Measure the ornament at its widest, tallest and deepest points and compare those dimensions with the box measurements. Leave enough room for any necessary protective packing rather than choosing a box that fits tightly around a delicate ornament. Traditions also offers an ornament gift box add on where we select an appropriate size for the ornament being purchased.
Can ornament gift boxes be used for long term storage?
A box can help protect an ornament from contact and minor bumps, but long term storage needs depend on the ornament's material, finish and construction. Delicate glass, glittered, painted or embellished ornaments may require additional wrapping or padding. Store ornaments in a dry, protected location and follow any care guidance provided by the manufacturer.
Why would I use an ornament stand instead of hanging an ornament on the tree?
An ornament stand lets a favorite piece become part of a mantel, shelf or tabletop arrangement and makes it easier to appreciate from several angles. It can be especially useful for displaying a sentimental ornament, a particularly detailed design or a collectible you want to enjoy without placing it among the branches.
