The holiday season is in full swing for Avon reps like me! Official holiday-themed products became featured a few weeks ago in Campaign 22, and part of me is superstitious in thinking that because the cover of the catalog is wintry, the weather should follow suit.
Anyway, one exciting thing about the freezing cold fluffy stuff on the ground is that I have an excuse to sing Christmas songs 24/7. And when I think of these songs, my mind wanders to visions of putting up the fake evergreen in my living room and strategically hanging my favorite decorations on its flexible wire branches. The lights are all up, and now it’s time to go a little bit orna-mental with the cute Avon decorations available this year! *Note: Ornaments that don’t have a hyperlink are no longer available for purchase online. Please email me to order: RedheadedAvonRep@yahoo.com.*
Here are 12 Avon ornaments to go mental for:
Cupcakes: Mmm…baking! I absolutely LOVE baking! These cupcake ornaments are the perfect addition to a foodie’s gift. Get your friend a tiered cupcake stand and place a cupcake ornament on a few random levels for a sweet surprise upon opening! Just remind them that the ornaments aren’t edible, but you’d be glad to eat the next batch that gets displayed!

Avon’s 125th Anniversary Shopping Bag: Every ornament tells a story, whether it’s the cork from your wedding champagne or a silly tchotchke from your last vacation, and it’s small and compact enough to display a big memory once a year. I bought myself this ornament to tell the story of how I became an Avon rep during the company’s 125th anniversary. I will be writing my start date on the bottom of it as a small time capsule.

Ballerina: This is no Black Swan, but a cute twirling ballerina for the little dancer in your life. The loose glitter on her skirt is also a nice addition to your tree if you don’t mind the sparkles!

Playful Pals Cat: This one reminds me of cat from Disney’s Aristocats. Your cat lady neighbor or the cat lover relative will love this cute one. It’s a heavier ornament, so be sure to put it on a strong branch!
Playful Pals Cat
Playful Pals Dog: Do you have a diva for a dog? Then this is the ornament for you! This poodle relaxes in a nice hot bubble bath! (If you need bubble bath for your kids, try Bubble Delight in Sugar Plum Cream!)
Playful Pals Dog
Feather Dress: For your fashionista! These fabulous dresses won’t take up room in your closet! The set of two comes in red and white.

Dazzling Heels: Ladies love shoes; that’s why they love Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz! Those stories would be so dull without the quest to see if the shoe fits or clicking the ruby slippers! (P.S. Avon has REAL shoes, and if you love the sparkly red color of Dorothy’s kicks I sell a great shade of nail polish called “Ruby Slipper”!)
Dazzling Heels ornaments
Knit Sweaters: Do you have a knitter or someone who crochets in your family? This is a great set of four for the crafty lady! I’m giving these ornaments to my mother this year (don’t tell her!) because I crochet and she has four kids. Perfect!
Knit Sweater ornaments
Pewter Snowman: Avon comes out with a new pewter collectible ornament each year, and 2011 is represented by a snowman. It comes with a red velveteen storage pouch to keep it in great condition year after year.

Cosmetics: This set of three lightweight glass ornaments include a nail polish, perfume bottle, and a lipstick! Get this set for the beauty babe! (And tell her to order from my website, www.youravon.com/cynthiadagenais)
Cosmetic ornaments
Baby’s First Keepsake: A baby’s first Christmas is a magical time! Be sure to get your little boy or girl this nice ceramic shoe ornament to hang on the front of the tree! (As the only girl in the family with three brothers, I always put my pink ornaments in front.)
