I just had to share this awesome Halloween tree. Isn't it cool? Problem is, it's empty. Maybe
you could use it. I mean, you have to put your Halloween ornaments somewhere, right? Wait a minute. You do collect Halloween ornaments, don't you? Whether you have a collection already or if you've been waiting to get started, then you're in the right place. Read on to learn more.
Collecting Halloween ornaments is becoming so popular, it's almost scary! More and more people are decorating their home or their office with Halloween trees - and the more ornaments, the better. To decorate your Halloween tree, choose ornaments with a theme or mix and match using all the ornaments that you love.
If you haven't already, why not start a Halloween ornament collection for your family? For younger children, Disney or Peanuts ornaments are fun. Once they're older, add black cats, ghosts, or other favorite Halloween figures. Chances are you'll be able to find their (or your own) favorite character in the form of a Halloween ornament that they can reuse every year on their very own Halloween tree. Or add them all to a big Halloween tree that the whole family can enjoy.
Cute or Creepy?
The choice of cute Halloween ornaments only, creepy ghoulish ones, or a mixture of both is entirely up to you. In fact, some people prefer to avoid the scariest themes of Halloween and focus more on a family-friendly theme with a harvest tree that can carry them right into Thanksgiving. You'll find plenty of ornaments designed to celebrate fall and the harvest season. And no worries about nightmares!
Here are some of the most popular collectible Halloween ornaments and themes.
1. Radko Halloween Ornaments. You may be familiar with Christopher Radko blown glass ornaments with a Christmas theme. You might not have known it, but Radko makes Halloween ornaments, too. They're top quality, always with beautiful designs. For 2015, here's the
blue skull ornament, La Calavara. Though actually designed for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, nothing says creepy Halloween like a skull. Actually, with its glittery design and hand-painted cool colors of blue, purple, and silver, this one is really pretty and hardly scary at all. Well, maybe a little bit. In any case it's a great addition to a Radko ornament collection.
2. Peanuts Halloween Ornaments. Everyone loves Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and the rest of the gang and there are plenty of Halloween ornaments that celebrate the Peanuts comics series. I love this
Charlie Brown O'Lantern ornament. You'll probably find the most choices from the
Peanuts Halloween collection on eBay, especially if you're looking for something specific, perhaps a keepsake ornament from a particular year that you're missing from your collection. Just click the link then customize the search if you don't see exactly what you have in mind.
3. Hallmark Halloween Ornaments. Don't you just love this
cookie cutter mouse ornament? It's actually from 2015, from Hallmark. If you didn't make it to the store to get yours, or if there's another that you've missed through the years, once again I recommend eBay for
Hallmark Halloween ornaments. You'll find Peanuts ornaments here, too, so there's an overlap in the results, but Hallmark also features the Hauntington Collection, a zombie series, and much, much more. There's something for everyone with an emphasis on "cute."
4. Witch Ornaments. Ah, the ever popular witch. I was drawn to this
Kurt Adler Pixiepies witch ornament from 2012. You'll find plenty more witches to choose from at
this link. Note that this is a big ornament at 13 inches, so she might not fit on your Halloween tree, but she'd look great hanging from a doorway or perhaps a chandelier. (Always check the description so you'll know what size ornament you're getting, especially if you have a tiny tree.)
5. Black Cat Ornaments. I'm a cat lover, so black cat ornaments really appeal to me. I like glass ornaments, too, so that's why I chose
this Halloween kitty to feature. Prefer something that's not breakable? Or maybe a cat that's part of a set? Then check these
black cat ornaments at Amazon.
6. Ghost Ornaments. When I think of ghosts, I think of friendly ghosts like this one, with smiles on their faces. We have some overlap from above again here, as this is a
ghost ornament from Hallmark's 2014 collection. I think it's adorable. And again, I found the best selection of
Halloween ghost ornaments on eBay. Check out the link and see which one you like best.
7. Disney Halloween Ornaments. You might recognize these
Disney Haunted Mansion Singing Ghosts from your last visit to a Disney theme park. These are from 2013 and would make a wonderful addition to your Halloween tree if you're a Disney family (I know there are plenty of you out there!). You'll find lots more familiar characters when you check out more
Disney Halloween ornaments right here.
Those are the top seven Halloween Ornament themes for your consideration. Did you choose a favorite? If you're still looking or haven't found just the right theme yet, then give
this link a try. Then let me know what you chose in a comment below. I'm dying to find out!
