Many people gift ornaments at Christmas time and I find my self too……right at the last minute browsing ornaments and trying to remember back on occasions to find the just right ornament. The time to buy ornaments for significant occasions is NOW)))) Create a special place in your home to stockpile your treasures and then gift them at Christmas. You’ll have the perfect memento for that precious memory.

Here are a few more suggestions for a “Snow Day” occasion.

This Inge-Glas “Dressed to the Nuts” snowman is a far better looking snowman than the one Maggie, Matt and I made the other day…..this would be a great ornament for Matt))) The Frosty Inspiration is perfect Maggie and her long blonde hair too))

This beautiful ornament with the little boy and cap with ear flaps is “Big Dreams.” Both the “Frosty Inspiration” and “Big Dreams” ornaments are from the “Innocent Hearts” collection from Inge and introduced in 2009.

Remember innocent times, pure and honest hearts….Goodness and warm loving memories of days gone by….Inge-Glas has captured those special childhood moments in our lives…..forever….”Innocent Hearts.”

These ornaments were created using the “Life Touch”  Life Touch was introduced by Inge-Glas, an amazing development adding to their colorful 400 year family history of German glass blowers; a classy new and innovative painting technique known as “Life Touch.” With precise and meticulous detail, skillfully trained Inge-Glas master artists apply ultra fine feather strokes revealing delicate life touches to enhance their uniquely beautiful Christmas ornaments.

We have  many more ornaments that will fit the bill perfectly for a Snow Day ….more snowmen, hot chocolate, mittens, ice skates and more!

Farm Animals from Inge-Glas

These new Farm Animal Balls are uniquely different from Inge-Glas. The painted farm animal has a raised texture. These ornaments would make a great addition to your child's farm collection. They include a tractor, pink, cow and a horse. They are about 3" in diameter and have a M & M candy type shape.

A great way to package these for a gift would be to put in a truck or tractor and wagon filled with raffia or wood wool. That way the child has a gift for "now" and a wonderful keepsake to hang on the tree for years to come. The back of the ornament is plain and would be easy to personalize with a permanent ink marker or paints.

*From Wikipedia*

Hansel and Gretel are the young children of a poor woodcutter. They have an evil step-mother who convinces the father to abandon the children in the woods as there is not enough food to feed the whole family. Hansel, aware of the plan, leaves a trail of pebbles back to the house so he and his sister find their way back home. The step-mother is angry and locks the two children up for the night with only a loaf of bread and water. The next night, the woodcutter attempts the same plan again; this time Hansel leaves a trail of bread-crumbs but they get eaten by hungry birds and the two children get lost in the woods.


After wandering around, Hansel and Gretel stumble across a house made of gingerbread and other confectionery. They are very hungry and begin to eat it. It is owned by an evil old witch who lures them inside. She traps Hansel in a cage and forces Gretel to do the housework, continually sweeping the house. She feeds Hansel lots of food with the intention of eating him. Her eyesight is very bad so every day she feels his finger to see if he is fat enough, but he holds out a chicken bone instead of his real finger. Eventually the witch decides to eat him anyway and turns on the oven. Gretel comes up behind her and kicks her into it, shuts the door firmly and padlocks it. They hang around in the house for a couple of days eating the sweets and they find some valuable gold coins. Once they are convinced that the witch is completely burnt they successfully find their way home and are met by their ecstatic father. He tells them that his evil wife is dead and they are now rich because of the gold coins' value. They all live happily ever after.
