Before you ask

Ornament questions, answered

Is this a good bookish ornament for a gift?
Yes, and here's why. Becoming a published author is a lifelong goal, and this turns the year it happened into something they unpack every December. It's a favorite for debut novelists, self published authors, and the friend who just signed a book deal.
What is it made of, and can it be personalized?
Solid one piece clear glass with a smooth beveled edge and a gold ribbon included. Personalized with the author's name and year, with four designs to choose from.
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.
