Cody Foster Co. Cheese Board Glass Ornament by Cody Foster

A cheese board, in glass, hung on a branch. This cheese ornament is the quiet companion to our piece, and between them they cover most of what actually happens on a holiday counter in the hour before dinner.

Warm orange tones keep it friendly rather than fussy, and an object with a story does more conversational work than a plain glass ball ever will. As a charcuterie board ornament it flatters the friend who arrives with a wedge of something aged and a firm opinion about crackers, and it makes a hostess gift you can hand over at the door without wrapping anything elaborate.

Where can you buy unique Christmas ornaments?

Unique and novelty Christmas ornaments are generally sold by independent gift shops, party and home-decor retailers, and specialty ornament makers rather than in big-box seasonal aisles. Designer ornaments are typically produced in limited seasonal runs, which is why shoppers who want a specific piece tend to buy early in the season.
