Holiday Season Officially Kicks Off With Hallmark’s 2021 Keepsake Ornament Debut

By Leave a Comment

I am so excited to be collaborating with Hallmark to bring you this year’s keepsake ornaments. I am have been collecting these since I was young and this year’s lineup is awesome. In July I wrote about the first 250 ornaments that were released. Now we are debuting more than 150 new ornament releases during the annual Keepsake Ornament Debut event from October 16-24, at Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide and online at Hallmark.com. The annual event is a chance for consumers to come together, get inspired, and begin celebrating the magic of Christmas through carefully artist-crafted Keepsake Ornaments from the all-new 2021 collection.

The entire 2021 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament line includes nearly 500 ornaments to help bring people closer together to celebrate the season, capture memories, and turn the Christmas tree into a beloved holiday experience the whole family will enjoy.

Some highlights of the new Keepsake Ornaments making a debut at the Ornament Debut include:

NFL Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce Ornament

Kansas City Chiefs fans will love getting their hands on this Christmas tree ornament featuring star tight end Travis Kelce hauling in the ball for another big play. This holiday decoration makes a statement as fashionable as the popular player whose likeness it captures.

Noble Nutcrackers Duke of Winter Ornament

Add winter wonder to the tree with this Duke of Winter Christmas ornament. This regal nutcracker wears a snowglobe crown and holds a snowflake scepter, perfectly complementing the ensemble that is trimmed with glittery snow detailing, icy formations, gems, and beads. A functioning lever on the back opens and closes the nutcracker’s mouth.

In 1973, when Hallmark introduced six glass ball ornaments and 12 yarn figures as the first collection of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, a new tradition of Christmas decorating was started, and a new collectible industry was born.

When the first line was introduced, they were unique in design, year-dated and available only for a limited time — innovations in the world of ornaments. Since 1973, Hallmark has introduced more than 8,400 different Keepsakes Ornaments, and more than 100 ornament series, annual releases of ornaments that share a specific theme.

Today’s Keepsake Ornaments reflect the way styles, materials, formats and technology have expanded since they first appeared in Hallmark stores. Once a collection of decorated glass balls and yarn figures, Keepsake Ornaments are now made in a wide array of wood, glass, metal, porcelain, and handcrafted formats. Technology has also been incorporated into the world of Keepsake Ornaments through light, sound and motion. The one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the superior craftsmanship and high quality that ensures Keepsake Ornaments will become family heirlooms and cherished collectibles.

Whenever I am looking for men’s clothing, I look for a brand that focuses on the classics and basics.  That is when Buck Mason catch my eye The brand is simple in its pursuit of building a clothing brand.

The founders, Erik Schnakenberg and Sasha Koehn started Buck Mason in Los Angles in 2013. It began with selling packages of basics that mixed and matched so that any man could have a sophisticated style with one click. This developed into them creating a staple that would be part of your wardrobe.

Buck Mason sells direct-to-consumer online and in their Venice Beach studio, which allows them to offer well-crafted pieces at competitive prices. They make everything using handcrafted, old-school techniques.

After seeing the great reaction to their t-shirt, they turned their attention to denim. The perfect pair of jeans is the one that embodies that effortless cool that we all know and love. The idea was to create a sophisticated casual that was clean and classic. It is about using the finest fabrics and impeccable fit development. They set out to do a few things perfectly.

They make clothing that they think is cool. They now make women’s clothing also. They love what they do and are proving their worth by the repeat customers that come back to buy other pieces.

Working from home I am always looking for nice professional tops. That is why I was so happy to find Executive by Stephanie. This line was created to empower women in the workforce by giving them confidence in their wardrobes. It is inspired by the struggle to find quality business clothes at an affordable price.

I was able to talk to Founder Stephanie Carroll and get her view on the line.

Inspired by the growing female community in professional roles, searching for affordable styles that will make them look the part without overdoing their budget, Executive by Stephanie was born to put an end to the concept that business attire has to be expensive. We empower women, giving them the right look for a reasonable price, outstanding quality, and endless matching opportunities that will make each piece office ready or jean friendly.

When founder, Stephanie, began her career in chemical engineering and chemistry research, she never quite felt she looked the part. Affordable women’s business clothing was hard to come by and often poorly made. Her wardrobe was cobbled together with individual pieces from multiple mall stores and did not match the level of her skills and expertise in her job. Eventually, her career led her to management opportunities with travel both domestically and internationally to directly interface with partners and clients. As her career progressed, her wardrobe did not.

Fifteen years later, this problem sadly still exists! Stephanie has made it her mission to give women their confidence back. No woman should ever feel inferior in her career due to her wardrobe. With Executive by Stephanie, women can create a wardrobe of professional staple pieces at an affordable price. The pieces are all mixed and match thus creating the opportunity of a capsule wardrobe leading to endless options for outfits. The price range meets the needs of entry to mid-level professional women, but the style and quality meet the standards of all levels. Best of all, our clothes are made right here in the USA.

I got to try out the Bianca Blouse Holland which I absolutely love. This blouse is perfect with a blazer or its own. It looks great tucked in or left untucked. The short-sleeve, V-neck blouse is versatile enough for everyday wear, yet, elevated enough for that important business meeting you have.
