Artifact Overview

Hallmark introduced a line of Christmas ornaments in 1973. These ornaments appealed to customers' interest in marking memories, commemorating milestones, and expressing one's personality and unique tastes. This success led the company to produce ornaments for other holidays. Hallmark marketed and sold Easter and springtime ornaments in several series dating back to the 1990s.
