A personalized ceramic Christmas ornament with a child painted as a storybook hero, hanging on a tree

A real product photo of a sample ornament — every ornament stars a different child.

Made for this moment

Not a photo — a painting

Your child is painted into a storybook scene in the same illustrated style as our books, with their name and the year beneath them.

Made to last

Durable 100% ceramic with a glossy finish, the same design printed on both sides, and a gold string included, ready to hang.

See it before you pay

Upload one photo and we paint a free preview first. You only pay if you love it.

A keepsake for the tree, year after year

Most photo ornaments print a snapshot onto a disc. This one is different: we paint your child as the hero of a storybook scene — the same illustrated style as our personalized books — and set their name and the year beneath them in the lettering from the book covers.

It's printed on durable 100% ceramic with a glossy finish, with the same design on both sides, so it looks right from every angle on the tree. A gold string is included, ready to hang.

The ornament is $24.99 including US shipping — plus the full digital storybook starring your child — a $9.99 value, FREE with purchase. Want the printed hardcover too? Add it at checkout.

Questions parents ask

How is the ornament made?

Upload one clear photo of your child. We paint them into a storybook scene and show you a free preview. Choose the ornament — the digital storybook, a $9.99 value, comes FREE with purchase — and it's printed and shipped to you.

What is it made of?

Durable 100% ceramic with a glossy finish, the same design printed on both sides, and a gold string included, ready to hang.

When should I order for Christmas?

Order by December 5 for delivery before Christmas. The ornament ships to US addresses only.

Can I get the storybook too?

Yes — the digital storybook (a $9.99 value) comes FREE with the ornament. For the printed hardcover or all three adventures, add them at checkout and the ornament is included.

Can grandparents order one?

Of course — you need a clear photo of the child and a parent's permission to use it. It can ship straight to the child's home.

Is my child's photo safe?

Every portrait is painted on hardware we own — the photo is never sent to a cloud AI service. Our print partner receives only the finished ornament artwork, never the photo. The photo is permanently deleted once your book is delivered, or within 3 days if an order is never completed.
