About This Ornament

These are small. You could fit one in your palm easily. But when you hang one on your tree, it carries something with it that a plastic bauble just doesn't, the grain of actual olive wood, shaped by hand in Bethlehem, a few miles from where the whole Christmas story started.

People find us searching for gifts from the holy land that mean something, not just something wrapped in a box. These ornaments are what I'd point them to first. They come back for more every year, sometimes ordering a dozen at a time to give away. At $3 each, that's not hard to understand.

If you're looking for olive wood ornaments to order online, these are the real thing. Handmade, not imported from a factory somewhere. Each one slightly different, because that's what happens when a person carves by hand.

Perfect As a Gift

A teacher in Ohio emailed us one December, said she ordered one for every student in her Sunday school class. She wanted each kid to have something real from the Holy Land on their tree at home. That's the kind of thing these are built for.

They work as an ornaments christmas gift, a little something for a baptism, a confirmation, even an Easter basket. Small enough to tuck into a card envelope almost. Meaningful enough that people actually keep them. Free US shipping over $100 makes ordering for a group easy.

The Story Behind It

The families who carve these have been doing it for generations. Same workshops, near the Shepherds Field area, passed from parent to child the way these things used to be passed. Most handcrafted christmas ornaments you find online were made in a factory somewhere far from Bethlehem. These weren't.

The olive wood itself comes from pruning living trees, nobody cuts them down. The branches get shaped into pieces like this one instead. That detail matters to me, and honestly it matters to a lot of the people who order from us too. Holy land gifts olive wood sourced this way, from trees still growing in the same ground they've grown in for centuries, there's not much else like it.

We've been doing this since 2007 and we ship to 50+ countries. The carvers are still there, still working. Your order keeps that going, which is the part I always want people to understand.

Care Instructions

Olive wood doesn't need much. If it starts looking a little dry after a season in storage, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a cloth and it comes right back. Don't soak it in water. That's really all there's to it.
