Ever since I was a little girl, my mother and I would by a "special" ornament each year. We'd head to a department store armed with excitement, and begin our search for the perfect one. Usually coated in rhinestones, we'd buy our annual glitterball and head home with it. Our new keepsake would go front and center on the tree, surrounded by favorite ornaments we'd procured from year's past.
Whether you're looking for an enormous pack to cover the entire tree, or that one special dazzler you can add to your family tradition, these are 37 of our favorites.
