The Story

The holidays are a time for remembering the people who quietly make a difference all year long.

When an organization was looking for a meaningful way to say thank you, a good friend of mine—who is a teacher herself—thought of my work and recommended they reach out. That gesture meant a great deal to me, and I wanted to create something that felt personal rather than generic.

These ornaments were made with the season in mind: simple winter details, warm wood tones, and individual names and dates to mark a moment of appreciation. Each one is meant to hang on a tree as a small reminder that kindness, patience, and dedication don’t go unnoticed.

While these were created as holiday gifts for teachers, they’re not just for teachers. They’re for anyone who gives their time, care, and energy to others—and deserves to be recognized, especially during the season of gratitude.

A handmade holiday keepsake, created to say:
Thank you. You matter.
