Personalised Christmas baubles turn a tree into a little gallery of memories. This year, why not hang a piece of Greece among the lights? Here are our favourite ideas, all made with our own photos from Santorini and Crete.
Why choose personalised Christmas baubles?
A shop-bought bauble looks nice. However, a personal one tells a story. Every December, you unpack it and remember a place, a person or a special year. That is why personalised Christmas baubles often become the decorations people keep for decades.
They also make an easy gift. For example, they are small, light to post and suit almost everyone. In addition, they work as a stocking filler or a small extra with a bigger present.
Five ideas for a Greek Christmas tree
- A Santorini sunset. Golden light over the caldera looks warm next to fairy lights. Add the year of your trip underneath.
- The blue dome church. Blue and white match a silver or white tree beautifully. Above all, it is the view everyone recognises.
- The Chania lighthouse. A lovely choice for anyone who has walked the old harbour in Crete.
- A Cretan cat. Perfect for cat lovers. Write the name of your own cat on it, too.
- A red love lock. Mark a first Christmas together, an engagement or a wedding year.
Not sure which one to choose? In that case, pick Surprise, and we will choose a favourite for you.
What to write on personalised Christmas baubles
Keep it short, so it stays easy to read on the tree. For instance, try one of these:
- A family name and the year, such as “The Smiths 2026”.
- “Our first Christmas” with both names.
- “Santorini, summer 2026” for a trip to remember.
- “Baby’s first Christmas” and a name.
- “Missing Greece” for a friend who loves the islands.
How our photo bauble works
First, choose a design. Next, decide whether to print it on one side or on both sides. Both options cost the same. Then write your text. Finally, tap View your bauble in 3D, turn it all the way round and check your words before you order.
The bauble is 8 x 8 cm and made of light plastic, so it is safe on a busy tree. It has a traditional cap and a silver cord for hanging. Each one is printed to order, and we deliver across the UK.
A short history of the Christmas bauble
Decorated trees became popular in Germany, and glass baubles followed in the 19th century. Later, the idea spread across Britain and the rest of the world. You can read more about the history of the Christmas ornament on Wikipedia.
Order early for Christmas
Because each bauble is made just for you, it is worth ordering early. That way, it arrives in good time for decorating the tree. Meanwhile, if you want a matching gift, have a look at our personalised photo mug with the same designs.
