The Magic of the Sea: A Nautical Christmas at BON TON goods
There is something wonderfully enchanting about the meeting of winter and the sea. Perhaps it is the shared quietness, or the way both invite a sense of mystery and imagination. At BON TON goods, our nautical Christmas ornament collection captures this spirit with a mix of sparkling glass, sculpted wood, and soft felt creations that bring the ocean’s magic to the holiday season.
From shimmering jellyfish to noble narwhals, from tiny shells to playful “purr-maids,” these ornaments are designed to add whimsy and wonder to your tree. They celebrate our deep connection to water, folklore, and the creatures that spark our imagination.

A Tree Inspired by the Sea
A nautical Christmas tree is unlike any other. It blends the freshness of winter with the mystery of deep waters, creating a world where stories come alive. Our collection brings together ornaments crafted from different materials, each chosen for its ability to express texture, light, and character.
Together they create a playful, elegant mix that feels both timeless and imaginative.
Glass Ornaments: Light Beneath the Waves
Glass naturally belongs to the world of water. It catches light the way waves do, with movement and clarity. Many of our glass ornaments are inspired by ocean life.
These pieces echo the depth and beauty of the sea and bring a gentle luminosity to the Christmas tree. They are perfect for adding refined sparkle without overwhelming the overall look.
Wooden Details: Natural Warmth from Shore to Tree
Some of our nautical ornaments are crafted from wood, celebrating the warm, tactile feel of traditional materials. Wooden boats, coastal motifs, and carved sea creatures add grounding and texture to the collection.
These ornaments remind us of driftwood washed ashore or the hand-carved toys once given to children during the holiday season. Their simplicity brings balance to the more delicate glass pieces and creates a layered, intentionally curated tree.
Felt Creatures: Whimsy with a Soft Touch
Felt ornaments lend joy to the collection with their friendly expressions and soft silhouettes. Among the most beloved are the sweet, humorous characters that instantly bring a smile.
These ornaments invite lightheartedness into holiday decorating and are especially loved by families and younger collectors. They make thoughtful gifts and become instant favourites on the tree.
Mermaids, Mermen, and Maritime Folklore
No nautical Christmas is complete without a touch of mythology. Our mermaids and mermen ornaments evoke a world of old sea legends and romantic tales. They are beautifully detailed, often shimmering with hand-painted finishes or glittering scales.
These pieces introduce a sense of fantasy to your holiday decor and pair beautifully with both elegant and whimsical ornaments. They are also wonderful gifts for anyone who loves storytelling, folklore, or maritime history.
Creating a Nautical-Themed Tree
A sea-inspired Christmas tree is both easy to build and completely unique. Start with a palette of soft coastal colours: whites, creams, pale blues, seafoam greens, and touches of coral or gold.
Layer in texture by combining glass, wood, and felt pieces.
Finish with shells, ocean animals, and one or two larger mermaid figures for a sense of scale.
This style feels refreshing and imaginative, like a winter shoreline. It works beautifully in Scandinavian interiors and coastal homes, but it can also bring a welcome touch of magic to any space.
A Collection Made for Wonder
The BON TON goods nautical ornament selection is created for those who enjoy decorating with personality and charm. The mix of materials, shapes, and characters makes every tree feel personal and full of life. Many customers return each year to add one more sea creature to their growing collection.
Whether you prefer the elegant glow of glass jellyfish, the natural beauty of carved wood, or the cheeky grin of a purr-maid, there is something in this collection that captures the imagination.
Invite the sea into your home this holiday season. Let your tree sparkle like sunlight on water and tell stories of oceans, myths, and winter wonders.
