    A letterer's brush painting a name on a family ornament with a dog

    Written by a person, one name at a time

    Every name on a Merry Names ornament is hand-lettered in Italy with a fine brush. Look closely and you'll see the strokes. That's how you know it was made for you.

    Good to know

    Will it arrive before Christmas?

    Yes, if you order by December 12. We hand-letter it in Italy and it arrives before Christmas.

    How much is shipping?

    Orders of 3 or more ornaments ship free. Orders of 1 or 2 ornaments ship for $4.99.

    What if a name is misspelled?

    We paint exactly what you type, and you confirm the spelling before checkout. If we make a mistake, we remake it free. Spot your own typo? Email us within 2 hours.

    How big is it, and what is it made of?

    Most ornaments are 4 to 5 inches across, cast in resin and painted by hand. Every product page lists the exact size.

    Is it printed?

    No. Each figure is painted by hand, and your names are lettered with a fine brush, not printed or stamped. That is why no two ornaments are exactly alike, and why the little brush marks are part of the charm.

    Can I add the dog or the cat?

    Yes. Many designs include a pet, and it gets a name like everyone else. Use Build your family to see only the designs with your pets.

    Does it come gift-wrapped?

    Every ornament is tissue-wrapped in a kraft gift sleeve. Add the deep green keepsake box for $10, and a handwritten card for $6.

    Can you ship straight to someone else?

    Yes. Enter their address at checkout and tick This is a gift in the cart so prices stay out of the parcel.
