Pantone Christmas Ornaments

Perfect for the graphic designer, web designer, or design geek are these colourful Pantone Christmas ornaments. However, these will not be available until 2012, but they will be available next year from: http://www.seletti.it/pantone/pantone_xmas_ball.htm

I also thought that the following little gift box ornaments were cute. These ornaments could work well as little gift boxes or advent calendars to hang on the tree. The boxes can hold a bit of chocolate or a surprise. These were initially designed by Purpose (www.purpose.co.uk) for Greenford Printing to give to their clients with a panettone cake. 

In addition to the Christmas ornaments, there are Pantone-inspired cards and gift bags. 

Last year, Raw Design Studio (www.weareraw.co.uk/) created a project (Christmas by Colour) for people to associate new colours for the holiday season, other than the greens and reds and whites of Christmas. These were sold as posters and Christmas cards to benefit charity. Some of the names, associated with a colour, include: 

• Mince pies
• Sprouts
• Mulled Wine
• Batteries Not Included
• Nan's eggnog
• After Eights
• Bank balance
• Yellow snow
• End of the sellotape

A photograph of all of the colours is below.

Gift bags, gift boxes, and Christmas cards for this year can be found at: http://www.colloco.co.uk/

Note there is a plain, solid colour style, and there is another style with a snowflake pattern.
