Customer Favorites (and they know it)
Every year a handful of ornaments sell out first, get requested by name, and generally act like they know it. I won’t name names. Actually, I will. You’ll find them below, and at this point pretending otherwise would just be coy. These are the ones customers come back for, buy in multiples, and email me about when they’re temporarily out of stock.
It’s gone to their heads a little. Blame me.
THE REPEAT OFFENDERS
The Abominable Snowman
Sells out every year and still hasn’t cracked a smile about it.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
Bigfoot
Blurry in every known photograph, crystal clear in wool felt. Make of that what you will.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
Mothman
Drawn to string lights and bad decisions. Somehow one of my best sellers last year, a fact he seems too overwhelmed to fully appreciate.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
The Christmas T-Rex
The Christmas Dachshund
Small dog, long body, longer memory for who’s bought one before and who’s still thinking about it.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
THE UNBOTHERED
The Cat Butt
Does not know it’s a bestseller. Would not care if it did.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
The Fox
The Horse
The Wreath Gnome
A steady favorite, and insufferably smug about outranking the other gnomes.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
THE SURPRISE HIT
I made one small batch to start. I was wrong two more times.
The Hissing Possum
Nobody, including me, saw this coming. Least of all the possum, who is hissing about it anyway.
Go ahead, feed the ego →
New ones show up every season, and every one of them thinks it’s next. I’d tell them to be humble about it. They wouldn’t listen.
