Lenox 2026 Snowflake Annual Ornament

The ornament itself is beautiful and well made, but i have an issue with how Lenox is packaging it. I have 30+ year old Lenox ornaments that have survived this long because they are always nestled in the box that was specifically designed to hold them. Recently the boxes that hold these specific ornaments have gotten cheaper and crappier, but this year’s box is insulting to collectors. The ornament sits in the box with nothing to keep it from moving. How will it survive year after year of decorating and then being packed away? It’s just the packaging, but it really is that serious. The product is getting worse will the price increases, which makes me question why I’m still collecting.

I buy 2 Lenox Annual Snowflakes every year. I will use them until I stop having a Snowflake tree. Then each grandchild will one of each year for their own Christmas trees. They are beautiful and have a year charm on each one.
