These astro ornaments from CB2 are returning again this year after rave reviews. Green isn't available, but that's okay. I think the orange one may be my favorite. Pick up a few sets and hang them in multiples.
This shiny metal ornament from CB2 is like a tiny mod mobile for your tree.
I'm digging these unique hand-blown double glass ornaments from West Elm. They would add pops of color and interesting detail to the tree. I'd love one (or two) in every color!
Felt ornaments are great — they're kid friendly and very easy to clean. I love these sets from Fitz Felt. Available in 10 color options, you're sure to find one to fit your holiday palette.
I'm all about adding a little personality to your holiday decor, and this pickle is perfect. Plus, it serves as an age-old German good-luck tradition: it's the last ornament placed on the tree, and whoever finds it first gets an extra gift from St. Nick.
How about a custom, modern pet portrait? This porcelain ornament might be the perfect gift for the animal lover in your life.

More fabulous felt! This set from Etsy seller Moufelt features an asterisk cutout and comes in your choice of three colors.
You don't have to worry about these little guys breaking if they fall off the tree. The set of six ornaments is made to order in your choice of colors.
This handmade porcelain ornament from Kim Westad is at once soft and sculptural. It would have a nice impact in multiples on a simply designed tree.
If you read my blog, you know I have a weakness for sheep in home decor (and apparently felt as well, seeing as how at least half of the ornaments in this ideabook are made of it). This little lamb would be perfect for me!
This is another fun bicycle ornament. The set is handcrafted from recycled paper, so each one is unique.

I had to include these Mr. & Mrs. ornaments from Jonathan Adler. I love the mustache!
Why aren't there more mid-century modern chair ornaments out there? Could someone get on that please?
