The Year I Became a Published Author
A ceramic ornament for the year the book finally happened
Dear gift giver,
- Know an author whose debut deserves more than a congrats text?
- Shopping for the writer who already owns every notebook?
- Want the year the book came out on the tree in plain type?
Most ornaments are filler. This one is a milestone..... The Year I Became a Published Author over a little illustrated tree, with their name and year printed on white ceramic.
Small gift, long memory.

The honest comparison
This ornament vs the typical bauble
| This ornament | Typical bauble | |
|---|---|---|
| What it says | A book person lives here | Nothing in particular |
| The ribbon | Included, ready to hang | Sold separately, probably |
| Lifespan | Every December for years | One season, then the bin |
| The quote | The published author milestone | Generic holiday joy |
| Made | To order, in the USA | Bulk import box of 24 |
Before you ask
Ornament questions, answered
Is this a good bookish ornament for a gift?
Yes, and here's why. Publication is the milestone writers work toward for years, and this puts the year it happened where they'll see it every December. It's a favorite for debut novelists, self published authors, and the writer in the family.
What is it made of, and can it be personalized?
White ceramic with a smooth glossy finish and a gold ribbon included. Personalized with the name and year you enter. Also offered as a clear glass version with four designs.
When should I order it for Christmas?
Each ornament is made to order in 2 to 5 business days, then ships from the USA. Order by early December to trim the tree on time, earlier if you are mailing it onward.
Does it only work at Christmas?
Mostly, and that is its charm. Some readers hang it on a bookshelf ledge year round, but December is when it earns its keep.
