Bulk Christmas Ornaments for Employees: Compare & Order
Thanking your team at year-end is an investment in morale. A bulk ornament order—one per employee—lands in their homes as a tangible, lasting gift. Unlike pens or mugs that get forgotten, an ornament hangs on a tree year after year, a quiet reminder that you valued them in 2026.
But choosing the right bulk ornament means matching material to your budget, turnaround time to your deadline, and personalization style to your company culture. Let's walk through your options.
Acrylic Ornaments: Budget-Friendly & Fast
Acrylic is the workhorse of bulk gifting. Acrylic ornaments are lightweight, durable, and print-friendly in full color. You can add your logo, the employee's name, and a year all on one side.
Who it's for: Teams of 25+; tight budgets; designs with gradient logos or photos.
What to check: Confirm the exact logo file (PDF or high-res PNG); check spelling of any employee names if personalizing; review the proof carefully—color on acrylic can shift slightly in bright light.
Timing: Production 2–5 business days after proof approval, then 2–5 days US delivery. Plan to approve proofs at least 10 days before your gift deadline.
Glass Ornaments: Premium & Heirloom-Quality
Glass Christmas ornaments feel more luxe. They're heavier, clearer, and work beautifully for engraved designs or hand-painted details. Glass says "we value quality."
Who it's for: Smaller teams (12–50); higher budgets; companies with a heritage or premium brand.
What to check: Glass is fragile in transit. Verify your shipping zip code and ask about packaging. Confirm the engraving text character-by-character; errors on glass can't be easily corrected. Check the proof for depth and clarity of the engraving.
Timing: Same as acrylic: 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US shipping. Allow 12–14 days total from order to doorstep to be safe.
Wooden Ornaments: Warm & Eco-Conscious
Wooden Christmas ornaments appeal to teams that value sustainability. Laser engraving creates a warm, professional look. They're lightweight, durable, and feel handcrafted.
Who it's for: Tech, creative, or environmentally focused companies; 15–100 employees.
What to check: Laser engraving is one-color black or natural. Confirm your design converts well to single-color. Check the wood grain in the proof—natural variation is part of the charm, but ask if grain placement matters for your logo. Spelling of names and dates is critical on wood.
Timing: 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US delivery.
Ceramic Ornaments: Custom & Colorful
Ceramic ornaments (a subset of our personalized collection) allow full-color, photo-quality designs. Perfect for printing team photos, multi-color logos, or illustrated themes.
Who it's for: Teams wanting photo-realistic designs; companies with vibrant, colorful branding; 20+ employees.
What to check: Ceramic can chip if handled roughly during packing. Review the color proof on screen and printed; what looks bright on screen may print darker on ceramic. Request extra padding in shipping if you're nervous.
Timing: 2–5 days production + 2–5 days delivery.
Ornament Sets vs. Individual Orders
If you want to mix and match—some acrylic, some wooden—you'll place a single bulk order with multiple SKUs. Ornament Xmas consolidates proofs and ships together. If you're ordering for two different departments with different designs, consider two separate orders to simplify proof workflow.
Browse ornament sets to see how sets are bundled; bulk orders work similarly but are quantity-driven.

What to Check Before You Order
Before you hit "confirm," take a minute to verify these details:
- Employee names & spelling. Print a list and cross-check against your HR records. One typo means remaking that ornament.
- Your logo file. Have your brand/marketing team export it at high resolution (300 DPI minimum). PDFs work; low-res JPEGs will look pixelated.
- Year or dates. Confirm the year (2026). If including hire dates or milestone years, verify each employee's record.
- Quantity. Count your actual headcount. Don't order 50 if you have 48; extra ornaments don't sell easily.
- Delivery deadline. Add 2–5 days for production + 2–5 days for shipping. If your party is December 15th, order by November 28th at the latest. See shipping details for regional times.
- Proof turnaround. You get one proof per design, shown digitally or printed. Plan 1–2 business days to review and approve. If you revise, that restarts the clock.
- Personalization depth. Engraved glass takes longer to correct than printed acrylic. The more complex your design, the more critical the proof review.
International Orders: UK & EU
Ornament Xmas ships to the UK and EU. Orders destined outside the US take 5–10 business days for delivery after production. Budget accordingly: 2–5 days production + 5–10 days shipping = 7–15 days total. Customs duties may apply to the recipient in some regions. See our shipping page for more detail.
How Personalization Works
Read our full personalization guide to understand file upload, proofing, and corrections. In brief: you upload your design or give us a description; we create a digital or printed proof; you approve or request changes (free, within reason); we produce and ship.

Frequently asked questions
How many ornaments do I need to order for bulk pricing?
Bulk orders typically start at 12 pieces. Ornament Xmas has no minimum, but shipping and per-unit costs improve as quantity rises. Contact our team for a quote on your specific order size.
Do I get a proof before you produce the ornaments?
Yes. Every design gets one proof—digital or printed, your choice—shown before production. You can request changes at no extra cost. Once you approve, we move to production immediately.
Can I order different designs for different employees?
Absolutely. If you have two teams with different logos, you can place one bulk order with multiple design lines. Each design gets its own proof. This keeps everything on one invoice and ships together.
What if I need the ornaments by a specific date?
Let us know your deadline when you order. We can't guarantee Christmas delivery, but we prioritize bulk orders and can often expedite. Production is 2–5 business days; US shipping is 2–5 days. Plan to order by late November for December delivery.
Can we engrave names on the back and a logo on the front?
Yes. Depending on material (acrylic, glass, wood, ceramic), you can layer personalization. Discuss layout in your order notes; the proof will show exactly how it looks.
Is there a setup fee or artwork charge?
No. Ornament Xmas charges only for the ornaments themselves and shipping. We don't pass along design or setup fees. If you need logo file help, our team can guide you—ask in your order notes.
Do ornaments come in a gift box?
Each ornament ships in protective packaging. Gift boxes are available separately (see ornament sets for examples). Handwritten cards can be added for a personal touch.
Can I order acrylic ornaments for 100 employees?
Yes. Acrylic scales well for large orders. Once you approve the proof, production and delivery are the same timeline as smaller orders (2–5 days each). Shipping cost depends on destination; request a quote.
