    • Keep Lost Loved Ones Close with Memorial Christmas Baubles and Keepsakes

    Oct 12, 2021
    Christmas is time for gathering up your best of the best to celebrate the festive season and the camaraderie of family and friends. And when you lose someone in that network, it may not be possible to enjoy their physical company anymore, but you can honour the memory of those loved ones passed with some memorial gestures and traditions. In this article we demonstrate five special ways to pay tribute to those who are missed at this time of the year with memorial Christmas bauble keepsakes. To honour their life and the memories you made together, memorial Christmas baubles and keepsakes help to ensure your loved ones remain an important part of your festive celebrations and traditions.

    Create a Memorial Christmas Keepsake Photo Frame

    When someone we love has dearly departed, there is nothing we want more than to see them again. So placing their best or quirkiest photo into a personalised photo frame is the best way to feel close. And when we are talking memorial Christmas keepsakes, photos are the perfect fit. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised_white-glass-photo-frame-your-wings-were-ready.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised-white-glass-photo-frame-blue-feathers-are-reminders.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised-white-glass-photo-frame-pink-angel-wings.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised-white-glass-photo-frame-heaven-in-our-home.jpg|"] To make your memorial Christmas keepsake photo frame especially personal, you can try some of the following ideas:
    • display a photo of them in their favourite Christmas attire (e.g. an ugly sweater, a candid photo from a family Christmas party, or even a posed family portrait)
    • make the personalisation extra special by choosing their favourite colour
    • glue a faux flower or one of their favourite pieces of nature onto the corner of the frame, or (if there is room) carefully create a border around their photo.
    These sympathetic memorial Christmas keepsakes from Gifts & Keepsakes make a beautiful gift to commemorate the life of a special someone.

    An Angel to Watch Over Us

    Honour your loved one by arranging an angel Christmas memorial keepsake tree topper in their memory on your Christmas tree. High and proud, watching over everyone at Christmas time; there is nowhere more important to be. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/harlequin-christmas-holiday-tree-traditional-red-and-green-angel-tree-topper-square.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised-standing-grey-angel-with-crown-and-timber-heart.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/boho-glam-christmas-deluxe-white-satin-and-fur-angel-tree-topper-ornament2.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/harlequin-christmas-holiday-console-deluxe-gold-angel-tree-topper-square.jpg|"] For something extra special, have the name of your loved one embroidered onto one of our gorgeous deluxe angel Christmas tree toppers. Instead of displaying your angel atop your tree, The Christmas Cart offers a gorgeous, standing angel with crown and heart, available in three colours. You might decide to place this memorial Christmas keepsake on the mantle, beside the stockings, or on a shelf amongst other Christmas decorations. Additionally, angels personalised with a name in hand-placed vinyl make a heartfelt gift.

    Christmas Memorial Bauble Keepsake

    In addition to, or in replacement of, the memorial angel tree topper, you can arrange a Christmas memorial bauble to hang on your tree. Choose a personalised Christmas decoration that either reminds you of the personality of your loved one, or select a more traditional-style memorial bauble such as a gorgeous glass heart decoration or a memorial glass disc scribed with your loved ones’ name. The Christmas Cart also stock Christmas memorial keepsake baubles that include a heartfelt saying which also adds to the tradition. You can keep lost loved ones close to your heart and in your thoughts at any time of the year. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/personalised-reindeer-with-plaque-decoration-lifestyle.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/personalised-stars-laser-cut-decoration-main.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/red-peace-doves-christmas-bauble.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/craft_bauble_-_lifestyle_1_4.jpg|"] And if you really want to add something uber personal, create your own personalised memorial Christmas bauble keepsake to go alongside one of our glass baubles. Just use a glass craft bauble and fill it with treasures that belonged to your loved one or that have a very special meaning to you. Memorial Christmas baubles don't need to be restricted to a tree. They look beautiful displayed on a bauble stand or hanger in another special place in your home year-round.

    Christmas Memorial Keepsake Stocking

    They may not be here to enjoy the spoils inside, but hanging a personalised Christmas stocking for a loved one as a memorial at Christmas time is another lovely way to pay tribute to them. Use their Christmas stocking to remind yourself of the great times you shared together. Or perhaps write short notes and memories to include in their stocking over the lead up to Christmas. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, read the notes back and share your memories with everyone. Ask other family members to do the same so they can share their special memories too.

    Make great use of old photos and treasures with this Christmas memorial keepsake idea. Create your own Christmas memorial keepsake bunting to honour your loved ones passed.

For many of us, Christmas is the season to be jolly, but it can be a testing time for those dealing with the loss of someone special. To help fill your heart and your mind with the piece you are missing, honour their memory and celebrate the life of your loved one with our special Christmas memorial baubles and keepsakes to help pay tribute to them this year.
