Whether you prefer a real or faux tree, white lights or colorful strands, tinsel or popcorn garlands, one thing is certain: Your Christmas tree reflects who you are. Ornaments, in particular, highlight the memories you've created. So, a couples ornament to mark the milestones you and your partner have celebrated this year definitely deserves a spot on the tree. Plus, finding a new and special ornament each year can become a fun holiday tradition for couples. For instance, a glass three-tiered cake ornament with your wedding date is a cute way to commemorate your first Christmas as a married couple. Or a picture frame ornament lets you showcase snapshots from adopting a dog together or taking a romantic getaway. Below, we've rounded up our favorite Christmas ornaments for couples—from the kitschy and cute to the elegant—so that together, you can add a personal touch to your tree.
