My tree is usually full of old ornaments passed down through my family, but they kind of look like they’re made of lead. Maybe yours are also lead! Perhaps we should replace the lead with Nintendo ornaments.
Amazon is offering a Black Friday deal on Hallmark’s Toad ornament — Mario is just on a regular discount — both under $10. Neither glows nor plays a theme song like the Xbox 360 ornament Hallmark also sells.
Both would fit on any Douglas fir with a few other Nintendo ornaments that aren’t on sale but don’t cost much more. You can practically build a whole Mario Kart race on your tree with Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Goomba, Boo, Mushroom Mario, Luigi, a Question block, Princess Peach, a controller, and a mini set with some shells.
You should have your tree pretty much covered. If not, pair these with the rest of our ornament guide. Replace the lead.
