5 Fillable Ornament Gift Ideas

Posted on by Whimsically Angie

Fillable ornaments are one of my favorite ways to turn a simple gift into something personal and meaningful. Whether you’re tucking in a tiny note, a small surprise, or a keepsake meant to be saved, these ornament gift ideas are easy to customize and made to be treasured long after the season ends.

Handprint Keepsake Love Bomb

This love bomb is a simple, joy-filled gift made from little hands and big feelings. Filled with handwritten love notes, favorite candies, and a sprinkle of confetti, then wrapped in a handprint made by your child, it’s a playful way to package affection—one that’s meant to be opened slowly and kept close long after the treats are gone.

Open When…

These fillable ornaments are made to hold more than just little surprises—they’re filled with handwritten mini notes meant to be read and kept. A simple, thoughtful way to tuck words of love, encouragement, or shared memories into a keepsake that can be revisited again and again.

Reasons I Love You

Filled with handwritten reminders of why you love them. Each one shares a small reason, memory, or moment—creating a gift that feels personal, heartfelt, and meant to be opened slowly and treasured.

You’re Da Bomb

This “You’re da Bomb” gift is loud, fun, and full of love—painted black, packed with confetti, and made to make someone smile the second it’s opened. A little dramatic, a little messy, and totally celebratory, it’s the perfect way to say you’re kind of a big deal (and I adore you).

Time Capsule

A time capsule is a meaningful way to pause and capture life as it is right now. Filled together—with notes, memories, small keepsakes, or hopes for the future—it becomes a shared snapshot of this season, meant to be opened later and remembered with love.

Whether you choose paint, photos, notes, or simple keepsakes, the most meaningful gifts are the ones made with intention and love. These ideas are less about perfection and more about pausing to create something that captures this moment—something you’ll be glad you made when you look back later.

Nothing fancy is required, but if you want to see the supplies I reach for, they’re saved in my Amazon store.

Mess-Free Valentine Alternative: Handprint Photography

If crafting isn’t your thing (or you want a mess-free option), Valentine handprint photography is a beautiful alternative. These ideas use light, shadows, and hands to create meaningful keepsakes you’ll treasure just as much.

Handprint Valentine Pinterest Board
  1. Draw Directly on the Photo Start with a simple photo of little hands, then use a drawing app or markers to add hearts, doodles, or Valentine details directly onto the image. This playful approach turns an everyday photo into a personalized Valentine keepsake—no paint, no mess, just creativity and a moment captured in time.
  2. Hold A Heart Prop Have little hands hold a simple heart cutout, paper shape, or soft prop while you snap the photo. It’s an easy, mess-free way to create a Valentine image that feels sweet, intentional, and full of love—perfect for a keepsake or quick print.
  3. Photocopy hand holding a heart Place little hands holding a heart or Valentine prop on a photocopier and capture the image in black and white. This simple technique creates a bold, graphic keepsake that feels both playful and modern—no paint, just hands, love, and a little office-magic nostalgia.
