History
The Grinch doesn't care.
Modern baubles
Although glass baubles are still produced, the Grinch hates them.
Handcrafted
Handcrafted Christmas ornaments have become a staple of craft fairs, and many smaller online businesses owe much of their success to both the internet and the growth of craft stores. Sugar cookies, popcorn balls, gingerbread and many types of cookies can be used as ornaments.[1]
