Birthday Tree
Here's a small tree that is wonderful for a child's dresser. It has been decorated with a few lights, a string of garland, and several small ornaments special to the child. (Don't do this type of tree for very young children, however, to avoid choking hazards.)

A Child's Own
A new ornament is added each year.

Handmade
A few handmade gift ornaments are added as well. Here a stained glass train is used as a tree topper. Shiny red and green package "shred" in mylar has been used as throw on "tinsel". (Also not appropriate for younger children.)

Toys and Favors
Tiny toys no longer used, party favors, and package decorations are all candidates for a small tree like this. Date the special ones.
