Deck the Halls with Art Ornaments

Hello, December! Ready or not, we’re about to turn the calendar page to the final month of the year. It’s the time of year for tree decorating, greeting card sending, and holiday shopping. This holiday season, add art-inspired details to your annual Christmas traditions and celebrations. From vibrant holiday cards featuring a favorite art piece to unique ornaments or beautiful art calendars to enjoy all year, The Met Store has an array of items to choose from. 

Whether you are shopping for a sweet token for your nieces and nephews, or a meaningful holiday gift for that hard-to-shop-for person on your list, unique keepsake Christmas ornaments are a great option. From colorful glass orbs to golden angels to idyllic winter scenes, you will find delightful ornaments at The Met Store.

For something colorful, the Louis C. Tiffany Cloisonné Ornament Set is the perfect Christmas ornament gift. A trio of luminous cloisonné ornaments showcasing three of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s spectacular works, these will be beautiful on the Christmas tree and equally lovely as year-round home accents. For a set of classic angel ornaments, our Angel Tree Mini Ornaments present a duo of angels adapted from a host of exquisitely carved angels in the 18th-century Neapolitan Nativity scene at the base of The Met’s celebrated Christmas Tree each year. Or, celebrate iconic winter scenes with our hand-colored Currier & Ives Snowscapes Glass Disc Ornament Set, showcasing details from three works of art in The Met collection: Central Park in Winter (1868–94), A Home in the Wilderness (1870), and Winter Morning in the Country (1873).

Dazzle the animal lovers on your Christmas list this year with blown glass ornaments inspired by details in The Animal Creation (1875), a hand-colored lithograph by Currier & Ives (American, 1857–1907). Select from a spirited zebra, a glittering elephant, an adorable lamb, and more.

For the fashion lovers on your list, give our beloved shoe ornaments with the 2022 Shoe Ornament Set. Popular ornaments for over 25 years, this collection contains seven new designs modeled after actual shoes in the holdings of The Costume Institute at The Met. Give the full set of shoe ornaments or individual ornaments.

Holiday greeting cards are a quintessential way to send your regards to your loved ones, near and far. This year, tuck a family photo inside a beautiful art card from The Met Store. From Picasso Dove Holiday Cards to Earle Partridge in a Pear Tree Holiday Cards to Holiday Card Money Holders, you’ll find a wide variety of choices in our offerings this year. Your cards will be the darlings of the mantel display in homes around the world this year!

Give the gift of year-round beauty throughout 2023 with an art calendar from The Met Store. The choice is yours: desk, wall, and engagement calendars. Affordable stocking stuffer options, the New York in Art Mini Wall Calendar features 13 iconic paintings and prints of New York City over the years, while The Met Cloisters Garden Monthly Calendar contains lush, botanical imagery from an early 16th-century book of flower studies made in Tours, France.
