Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are acrylic ornaments better than glass ornaments?
Acrylic ornaments offer several advantages: they're shatterproof (safe for kids and pets), lightweight (won't weigh down branches), durable (last for years), and easier to store. While glass has traditional appeal, acrylic is more practical for most families.
Will acrylic ornaments fade over time?
Our high-quality acrylic ornaments use fade-resistant printing technology. With proper storage away from direct sunlight when not in use, they'll maintain their vibrant colors for many years.
Can I use acrylic ornaments outdoors?
Yes! Acrylic ornaments are weather-resistant and can be used for outdoor Christmas decorations. They won't shatter in cold temperatures or break if they fall.
How do I clean acrylic Christmas ornaments?
Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before storing.
Are these ornaments safe for homes with small children?
Absolutely! The shatterproof nature of acrylic makes these ornaments much safer than glass for homes with young children. If dropped, they won't break into dangerous shards.
What size are these ornaments?
Our ornaments are standard size (approximately 3-4 inches), perfect for any Christmas tree from tabletop to full-size. They're substantial enough to be noticed but not so large they overwhelm the tree.
Do the ornaments come with hanging strings?
Yes, each ornament comes ready to hang with a ribbon or string attached. You can also replace with your own ribbon to match your color scheme.
Can I personalize these ornaments?
While these specific designs come as shown, their beautiful artwork doesn't require personalization. However, you can add your own touches like writing the year on the back with a permanent marker.
How should I store acrylic ornaments after Christmas?
Store in a cool, dry place in their original packaging or wrapped in tissue paper. Unlike glass, you don't need special ornament storage boxes, though they're still recommended for organization.
Are these ornaments made in the USA?
Please check individual product pages for manufacturing details. We prioritize quality craftsmanship regardless of origin.
Can I buy these as a set?
While sold individually, you can purchase multiple ornaments to create your own custom set. Consider getting all 6 for a complete themed collection!
What if an ornament arrives damaged?
While acrylic is very durable, if any ornament arrives damaged, please contact us immediately for a replacement or refund.
