19 Stained Glass Suncatchers to Give This Christmas
Share
Almost every Christmas gift has the same problem: it belongs to December. The ornament comes down, the box goes back in the attic, and eleven months later nobody has thought about it.
A suncatcher doesn't do that. It goes in a kitchen or bathroom window on Boxing Day and throws coloured light across the wall every morning until next December. These are personalized with a name, a date or a photo, and range from $23.95 to $27.95.
Before you choose
- Round or heart. Round suits a hallway or kitchen window. Heart reads as more personal and suits a bedroom.
- Think about which window. An east-facing window gives you the effect at breakfast, which is when people are actually home to see it.
- They travel well. Flat, light and hard to break in transit — worth knowing if you're posting overseas.
For a daughter
The single biggest category, and the one people buy for birthdays as well as Christmas.
- My Daughter Purple Flowers & Butterflies Art Nouveau Suncatcher — $23.95. Art nouveau lines, deep purples. The most striking piece in the range.
- Morning Glory & Butterflies To My Daughter Suncatcher — $23.95. Lighter and more open than the art nouveau version.
- To My Daughter Hummingbirds & Morning Glory Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Heart-shaped, with space for a longer message.
For a mother, sister or close friend
- Sisters Side by Side Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Two names side by side. Works for sisters and for lifelong friends.
- Nana's Garden Floral Butterfly Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Name the garden after her. Good for a grandmother who actually gardens.
- Sunflower & Butterfly Bouquet Suncatcher — $23.95. Warm yellows. The cheeriest thing in the whole catalogue.
- Rose Art Deco Name Suncatcher — $23.95. Just a rose and a name. The right pick when you want restraint.
- Tree of Life Mother & Daughter Suncatcher — $23.95. Two names on one tree.
- Mother & Daughter Intertwined Trees Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Two trees growing into each other. Heart-shaped.
- Mother & Daughter Butterflies & Peony Suncatcher — $23.95. Peonies rather than roses, which suits a softer colour scheme.
For a new mother
- First Mother's Day Mother & Baby Elephant Suncatcher — $27.95. Add the baby's name and birth year.
- Mother & Baby Elephant Round Suncatcher — $23.95. The round, slightly plainer version of the same design.
- Elephant & Moon Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Heart-shaped with a crescent moon behind.
Memorial suncatchers
A window piece is often easier for a grieving family than a tree ornament, because it doesn't have to come down.
- Roses & Hummingbird Heart Memorial Suncatcher — $27.95. No photo, just name and dates.
- Crescent Moon Rocking Chair Memorial Suncatcher — $23.95. An empty rocking chair. Restrained and very effective.
- Forever In Our Hearts Photo Butterfly Suncatcher — $27.95. For families who do want the photograph.
For a teacher or an artist
- Art Teacher Palette & Brushes Heart Suncatcher — $27.95. Goes in a classroom window and throws colour across the room.
- "Art Makes the World Brighter" Suncatcher — $23.95. Better as a group gift from a whole class.
- Tree from Open Book Teacher Suncatcher — $23.95. A tree growing out of an open book.
How personalization and shipping work
Every piece on this page is personalized at no extra cost — names, dates and photos are included in the price, not an add-on. Each one is printed and finished in the USA and ships from a US facility, and personalized orders are made after you place them.
For US delivery before December 25, order by December 10. Photo pieces take an extra day, so treat December 8 as the cutoff for those. Everything is covered by our 45-Day Happiness Guarantee.
