Unique Christmas decorations with traditional ornaments

Christmas is a time of family cosines and waiting for a miracle. The festive menu is thought out, family and friends are invited, and now the most important thing is to decorate the Xmas tree. For this magical moment, the Ukrgifts.com shop has already prepared incredible handcrafted wooden ornaments for you. Why wood?

The answer is very simple: 

  • It is eco-friendly. Hand-painted ornaments made of natural wood by Ukrainian craftsmen from Petrykivka do not contain any harmful components and are safe for children, pets and the environment. No plastic.
  • It is sustainable. Unlike glass toys, wooden ornaments cannot be broken. They also do not fade or lose their beauty over time. This is something that can be passed down from generation to generation. 
  • It is absolutely one-of-a-kind. Each ornament is handcrafted, and the Ukrainian folk ornament cannot be confused with any other. It is not for nothing that Petrykivka is included in the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List.
  • And most importantly, our handmade Christmas decorations carry a piece of the artist's soul and remember the warmth of their hands. That's why they are not just decorations for the Christmas tree, they are a kind of amulet that makes X-mas especially cozy.

How wooden ornaments are born

Let's take a look at the studio of a Ukrainian craftsman from the beautiful Petrykivka village and see how real art is born from wooden blocks:

  • Actually, it doesn't all start in the studio. The flat ornaments are first cut out with a laser, while the 3D Christmas decorations (balls, for example) are made individually by a turner on a wood lathe. That's why the size and shape may vary slightly. Everything is handcrafted.
  • Next, the wooden blanks are sent to the artist, who prepares the surface and applies hand-painted ornaments. Each ornament is completely unique and depends on the shape of the slice, the individual technique, and even the artist's mood.
  • The finished Christmas ornament is covered with 3-4 layers of varnish, dried and delivered to our shop.
  • We carefully create sets of wooden ornaments or send you these artworks separately.

What is Petrykivka painting?

As you may have guessed, it is a specific technique of Ukrainian ornamentation. More and more people around the world are learning about and admiring this hand-painted art form. We think that the main secret of this craft's huge popularity is that it has been developing and improving for more than 300 years. Just imagine: almost every family living in Petrykivka is artistically gifted, and the secrets of ornaments, ingredients for paints and style features are passed down from parents to children, and from grandparents to grandchildren. When we create sets of X-mas decorations, we usually include the works of one master or a family of masters. Because the style of each ornament is absolutely recognizable and unique.

X-mas ornament that are unrepeatable

And it's true) You won't find two identical wooden decorations or hanging ornaments in our shop. Each one is inspired by nature, the spirit of Christmas and the simple joys of life. We can divide all our products into several categories:

  • Animals and birds hanging ornaments. This is what surrounds us all the time. Cute dogs and cats, horses and hedgehogs, owls, butterflies, swans... You can choose your favorite animal or create a whole set that will harmonize in color or pattern elements.
  • Classic Christmas symbols: stars, angels, bells. With such hand-painted figures, you can not only decorate the Christmas tree, but also make your Nativity scene unforgettable.
  • Christmas Balls. These wooden decorations have a secret. They can be opened. So this ornament will not only decorate the Christmas tree, but also become a box for something very special.
  • Sets. We've selected ornaments based on a common theme, pattern, or by a specific artist. But any products on Ukrgifts.com can make up your very special set. Just let the consultant know about it and he will help you choose and pack your choice beautifully.

Buying these incredible ornaments, you can be sure that it is not only a bright piece of X-mas mood, it is a real artwork and, perhaps, the start of your personal family collection, which will only grow over the years.

No, we are not going to tell you the obvious things about how to place an order here)

We just want to give you a few tips that will make your choice easier and the whole process as convenient as possible:
