Custom Dog Ornament Review from TheSawdustBoutique

Today I will be sharing with you something I am pretty excited about! It is a custom ornament made from a etsy shop called  TheSawdustBoutique. This shop is pretty amazing. It is filled with tons of different items all hand made out of wood! I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to review an ornament for you! No matter what breed your dog is they can find something that looks pretty darn close to your pooch! My boyfriend and I just got our dog this past August and we wanted a ornament for our tree this year to symbolize him since he is such a huge part of our lives!

Hershey is the name of our pup, and not only do they personalize it to took like your breed of dog but they also carve your dogs name in the ornament as well which is just perfect in my opinion. This is a pretty simple ornament but I absolutely love it. I love how custom it is and I can probably bet you that nobody will have this same ornament.

The ribbon that they use to make these ornaments has dog paw prints all over it. This is truly the perfect finishing touch for this pup ornament. I think it goes with it perfectly!

I am truly so happy with how this ornament came out and I can't ask for anything more to be honest. The shop owner is also extremely nice and helpful. They have tons of other things listed in their shop as well if this doesn't interest you. I would not like to thank  TheSawdustBoutique for being featured on my blog. I will make sure to include their shop link below to check out their shop!

WhimsyWillowCreations.com Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

 

 

I received a personalized ornament from a shop by the name of WhimsyWillowCreations

 

If you guys know me so well, you will know that this had to be something Disney lol. I went with one of their ornaments with a quote from one of my favorite Disney movies, Frozen. The quote is "Some people are worth melting for". I found this quote to be probably the most fitting for this snowman ornament. The decals for this are made out of vinyl. They are placed perfectly, and at first glance you would really think that these are painted on, but there not lol.

 

 

This shop also offers to personalize any ornament that you purchase through their shop, which is probably one of my favorite parts about this shop. As far as my personalization goes I went with my boyfriend and I's name : Clinton & Dani, they also were able to include the date which is pretty cool. Most places that you go for personalized ornaments your stuck with only being able to only pick names or a date, so it was nice to be able to have both this time :)

 

 

 

 

Inside the ornament are small pieces that make up a snow man :) there is 5 small pieces of "coal" two for his eyes, and three for his buttons. There is also a carrot used  for his nose. All these pieces are sitting on and around this little pieces that look exactly like sparkling snow. They did an amazing job at creating this, it truly does look like snow, and the small pieces that were added for parts of the snowman are the perfect touch.

 

I'm a sucker for Christmas ornaments just because there filled with so many memories, and they bring back those memories each year when you place them back on your Christmas tree. I think this was the perfect ornament for me because this year one of my favorite attractions at Disney world was the Frozen Fever show at Hollywood Studios, and that's probably one of my favorite memories from this year with my boyfriend, dragging him to that show every time lol.

 

These are super high quality ornaments and I can assure you that these will last you a long time. This would be a great gift for pretty much anyone, just because you can personalize them for anyone.
