Christmas Decorations

Christmas decorations from Dims Studio are fun, colourful and full of surprises. Instead of traditional motifs, you'll find hand-painted glass ornaments with famous faces, drinks and monsters, alongside disco balls, decorative birds and cosy pieces for the Christmas table. The range spans from classic glass baubles to funny Christmas baubles that make guests smile, and from tree decorations to table decor and puzzles. Here you'll get an overview of types, materials, uses and brands, so you can put together the Christmas decorations that suit your tree and your style.

Types of Christmas decorations at Dims Studio

What the Christmas decorations have in common is that they're made to stand out. Below you'll find the types that recur throughout the range.

Funny ornaments with famous faces

The largest group in the range is glass ornaments with a wink in the eye. Here you'll find a Barbie ornament, a Taylor Swift series with several motifs, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Donald Trump, Christopher Walken, Jim Morrison, The Notorious B.I.G., Brad Pitt, Jason Momoa, Lil Nas X, Keanu and Dwight from The Office, among others. These funny Christmas baubles are a great choice if you want your tree to be about more than the traditional, and they also work well as a small, personal gift for a friend who loves music, film or pop culture.

Drink and party ornaments

Another recurring category is ornaments featuring party and drink motifs. Here you'll find a champagne ornament, a champagne press ornament, a six-pack ornament, a gin ornament, a martini ornament and an ornament reading Let's Get Toasted, among others. They pair well with the funny celebrity ornaments and give the tree a playful, grown-up feel, and they make a great humorous host gift if you're heading to a Christmas party.

Monster ornaments and figures

The range also includes a series of soldered glass monster ornaments: a snow monster, a Christmas monster in an elf costume, an angel monster with wings and a rainbow monster. They're softer in expression than the celebrity ornaments but still clearly playful, and can add colour and texture to the branches. The monsters work well if you want Christmas decorations that appeal to both children and adults without the slightly edgier or more controversial tone some of the celebrity ornaments have.

Disco balls for the tree

From Rice you'll find small disco balls in several colours, including a pink version, a multicoloured version and a small heart-shaped disco ball. They're a great addition if you want sparkle and movement in the light from the tree's bulbs, and they also work well hung alone in a window or on a branch in a vase for the rest of winter.

Decorative birds for branch and tree

Wildlife Garden is behind a series of wooden decorative birds called DecoBird, available as a blue tit, a barn swallow and a house martin, among others. The birds can be clipped onto a branch in the tree or on an advent wreath and give a more natural, Nordic counterpoint to the glass ornaments. Since they're made of wood rather than glass, they can also stay on the branches or in the windowsill after the tree has been packed away.

Puzzles and cosiness for the Christmas table

ViSSEVASSE contributes a series of Christmas puzzles in several sizes, with motifs including Christmas Market, Christmas Window, White Christmas, Winter, Lazy Days, Mommy & Santa and All Packed, as well as a puzzle advent calendar called Sweet Christmas. The puzzles aren't decorations for the branches but another kind of Christmas decoration altogether, namely the cosiness that comes from gathering around the coffee table in December. They come both as mini puzzles and as puzzles with up to 1,000 pieces, so you can choose the difficulty level based on how much time you have to spend on the fun.

Table decor and serving for Christmas

For the Christmas table itself, you'll find a ceramic angel candlestick from Rice, a stoneware dish from Bloomingville and a two-tier cake stand from Caja Company. They're not decorations to hang, but are used to bring the Christmas decor together on the table when serving sweets, cakes or nuts, or when lighting the candles.

Materials in the Christmas decorations

The material has a big impact on how the Christmas decorations feel and how best to care for them.

Glass

Most ornaments in the range, including the celebrity ornaments, the drink motifs and the monsters, are made of glass. Glass ornaments are easy to hang, catch the light beautifully and give a classic Christmas tree look, but they're also fragile and require careful handling, both when hanging them and when packing them away again after Christmas.

Ceramic and stoneware

From Rice you'll find a ceramic angel candlestick, and from Bloomingville and Caja Company you'll find a dish and a cake stand in stoneware, respectively. This type of Christmas decoration is denser and more robust than glass and works well as table decor and serving at the Christmas party, where it needs to look good and hold up to being used again and again.

Wool

Doing Goods is behind a hanging gingerbread man made of wool. Wool decorations give a softer, more tactile finish than glass and ceramic and suit a cosy, Nordic Christmas style well, if you'd like a softer counterpoint to the shiny glass ornaments.

Wood

Wildlife Garden's decorative birds are made of wood. Wood is a robust and natural material that can withstand being handled year after year and suits greenery and natural materials in a Christmas decoration well, without the risk of breaking the way glass can.

Polyresin

Anna + Nina's leopard ornament is made of polyresin, as are some of Cody Foster's ornaments. Polyresin is hardwearing and allows for detailed figures with a clear shape, so the motifs can be rendered with sharp details, even in a small size.

Cardboard

The Christmas puzzles from ViSSEVASSE are made of cardboard. It's not a material meant to be hung up or displayed all through December, but it is a kind of Christmas decoration in a broader sense, because once assembled, the puzzle can be displayed or framed as a temporary Christmas decoration on the table.

The materials compared

Material	Properties	Examples in the range
Glass	Light, fragile, catches the light	Celebrity, drink and monster ornaments
Ceramic and stoneware	Robust, suited to serving	Angel candlestick, dish, cake stand
Wool	Soft and tactile	Gingerbread man hanging decoration
Wood	Robust and natural	DecoBird birds
Polyresin	Hardwearing, detailed figures	Leopard ornament
Cardboard	Cosy, temporary	Christmas puzzles

How to look after your Christmas decorations

• Wrap glass ornaments individually in paper or bubble wrap when taking them down from the tree.
• Store your Christmas decorations somewhere dry and dark, ideally in a box with compartments so the figures don't knock into each other.
• Wipe ceramic and stoneware decorations with a slightly damp cloth instead of putting them in the dishwasher, unless stated otherwise.
• Keep wool and wood hanging decorations away from damp, so they don't go mouldy or warp.
• Store puzzles together in the original box so all the pieces stay together year after year.
• Avoid placing glass ornaments too close to heat sources, as temperature swings can make the glass more fragile.

How to use the Christmas decorations at home

Dims Studio's Christmas decorations are made to be used throughout the home, not just on the tree itself.

On the tree

Most of the glass ornaments, the disco balls and the monsters are made to hang on the branches. Feel free to mix a few celebrity ornaments with the more muted monster and drink ornaments, so the tree gets both humour and calm. See the full range of tree decorations if you need more decor for the branches.

On a branch, wreath or in the windowsill

The DecoBird birds from Wildlife Garden can be clipped onto a branch, an advent wreath or a bundle of greenery in the windowsill. It gives a calmer counterpoint to the colourful glass ornaments and brings nature into the Christmas styling, and the birds can easily stay hanging even after the tree has come down.

On the Christmas table and for serving

The dish from Bloomingville and the cake stand from Caja Company are made to hold sweets, cakes or nuts at the Christmas party, while the candlestick from Rice sets the mood with real candles. Together with the Christmas puzzles from ViSSEVASSE, the table or coffee table becomes a place where the Christmas cosiness can unfold all through December.

As a Christmas gift or host gift

Many of the ornaments, including the celebrity and drink motifs, are easy to wrap and work well as a small gift under the tree or as something to bring along when you're invited to a Christmas party. A mini puzzle from ViSSEVASSE or a single disco ball from Rice is also a great choice if the gift needs to be easy to manage.

For the kids' room and the playful style

The monster ornaments and the colourful disco balls are a good choice if the Christmas decorations also need to work in the kids' room, or on a branch where children can help with the decorating themselves. They're more robust in expression than the delicate, classic glass baubles and can withstand being handled by small hands, though they should still be treated with the usual care since they're made of glass.

Sizes of Christmas decorations

The size varies depending on what the Christmas decoration is meant to be used for. The glass ornaments and disco balls are shaped so they can easily hang on a branch, while the dish, cake stand and candlestick are meant to stand on a table. The Christmas puzzles from ViSSEVASSE come in several sizes, from mini versions with few pieces to large puzzles with up to 1,000 pieces, depending on how much time you want to spend on the fun. Always check the measurements under the variants on the individual product, as they can vary from motif to motif.

Brands behind the Christmas decorations

The range brings together Christmas decorations from a number of Danish and international brands.

Cody Foster

The American brand Cody Foster is behind the majority of the glass ornaments in the range, from celebrity portraits and drink motifs to the soldered monsters. What the ornaments have in common is a hand-painted, kitschy and humorous expression that makes them some of the most distinctive pieces in Dims Studio's entire Christmas decoration category.

Kersten

Kersten supplies, among others, the champagne and six-pack ornaments in glass, which are some of the most popular funny Christmas baubles in the range, and which are often combined with Cody Foster's celebrity ornaments on the same tree.

Rice

Rice is known for colours and playful shapes, and is behind the disco balls as well as a ceramic angel candlestick. The brand appears across several categories at Dims Studio, but in the Christmas decorations range, it's mainly sparkle and colour that take centre stage.

Doing Goods

Doing Goods is behind the wool gingerbread man hanging decoration, which offers a softer counterpoint to the glass ornaments and adds a more tactile detail to the tree or advent decoration.

Wildlife Garden

The Danish brand Wildlife Garden has designed the wooden DecoBird birds, made to be clipped onto branches and wreaths. The birds are one of the more natural additions to the range and suit a Nordic, calm Christmas style well.

Bloomingville and Caja Company

Bloomingville and Caja Company supply stoneware Christmas decorations for the table, including a dish and a cake stand for serving at the Christmas party, where function and looks go hand in hand.

Anna + Nina

Anna + Nina contributes a leopard ornament in polyresin, adding a graphic, animal-print element to the Christmas decorations that sets it apart from the more classic glass ornaments.

ViSSEVASSE

ViSSEVASSE supplies a range of Christmas puzzles in different sizes, ideal for cosying up around the Christmas table or as a gift, covering everything from Christmas markets to winter landscapes and Christmas time with family.
