Most Loved 2025 Ornament
Every year has a moment that defines it. Sometimes it’s joyful, sometimes challenging – but always meaningful. In 2025, one small ornament captured the hearts of many, becoming more than just something hung on a tree. It became a symbol.
At first glance, it’s simple: a round ornament, neutral in color, engraved with the words “In God We Trust” and “The Year We Lost Our Cents”. At its center sits a real penny, framed by the familiar image of the Lincoln Memorial. The dates 1793-2025 marking the end of an era, commemorating the final year penny was minted.
This ornament was not loved because of what it was – I think it was loved because of what it represented.
In a year when families felt the pinch of rising costs and changing times, this ornament spoke to our hearts with a touch of humor. It acknowledged what many were thinking but few could put into words. The penny, once a symbol of everyday value had become a reminder of how much the world has shifted – and how resilient we must be.
I heard from many that it was not purchased just to hang on their tree but would be placed on their mantel or in their office. It was being put in special places for the buyer. Many customers messaged me with memories and reflections. I think it sparked many conversations this season. To me it was a reminder that even the smallest things can hold great meaning.
In many ways, I think the words, “In God We Trust” is a steady anchor for a lot of people. In uncertain times, faith, hope, and trust carry us through. To me this ornament reflected that sentiment – without being loud or flashy.
As 2025 came to a close, this ornament stands as a keepsake of the year we will remember. A year of change; a year of perspective; a year when we realized that value isn’t always measured in cents, but in faith, resilience, and the stories we carry forward.
Whatever it meant to everyone, it was popular. Some ornaments sparkle. Other shine quietly. This one did both – and it continues to be popular – people are still requesting it!!
