What’s next for Keepsakes? How about a selection of everyday ornament offerings that would be available all year-round. Although this new program started with the introduction of the PEANUTS Series-in-a-Year set this Summer, there’s even more to come. Beginning in January, Hallmark will introduce an assortment of “milestones and memories” Keepsake ornaments for year-round gift-giving. This group, will include 13 memory-keeping life occasion type Keepsake Ornaments that normally wouldn’t be released until later in the year. Some of the designs will be popular captions that are already part of the Keepsakes line like “New Home,” “Baby’s First Christmas” and “Our Wedding;” others will be new themed designs appropriate for birthdays, graduation, retirement and other life events.

The ornaments will be displayed adjacent to the other gift collections on a Keepsake-branded display that highlights the ornaments and shows how they make memorable gifts. The remaining Series-in-a-Year ornaments will also be included on the display. All of the ornaments will move to the main Keepsake Ornament wall display when it is converted for Ornament Debut in October.

Keepsake Expansion in 2014

But there’s even more Keepsake news. In 2014 Hallmark will be expanding the regular Keepsake Ornament line by approximately 40 additional ornaments. The additional designs will build on the captions that are already popular including: family, wheels, pop culture, sports and a few others.
