Holiday Ornament & Seasonal Collectible Watch

Why this is recommended

A Hallmark debut weekend with a limited piece that sells out by noon, a retiring Department 56 building before the price doubles, a Starbucks ornament that drops on a Tuesday, a collector club membership window, or a counterfeit Radko alert are each worth the membership to a collector who buys five pieces a year.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The millions of households with a box of ornaments that each mean something, and the collectors who complete a series every year.

Track holiday and seasonal collectibles for US collectors. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: Hallmark Keepsake debut weekend dates, limited quantity releases, Keepsake Ornament Club exclusives and ornament premieres; annual and retiring piece announcements from Department 56, Lemax, Christopher Radko, Old World Christmas, Byers' Choice, Jim Shore, Swarovski, Lenox, Wendt & Kühn and Steinbach; holiday collection release dates at Starbucks, Disney, Target, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel and Nordstrom; the White House Historical Association ornament release; village, train and display event dates; collector club membership windows and events; secondary market moves of 30 percent or more on top pieces; recalls and counterfeit alerts; and Halloween, Easter and other seasonal collectible drops. Prefer brand and retailer announcements, collector club pages, event organizers and established collectibles reporting; ignore reseller hype. Put the brand or piece first in the title with the release date. Use high severity for a debut weekend within 7 days, a retirement announcement for a top series, a limited release that sold out the prior year, or a counterfeit alert. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, when and where, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
