Packaged Sardines Ornament by Cody Foster

The sardine ornament is the tinned fish obsession finally making it onto the tree, rendered in pink resin and rather chic about it. It is dry, specific, and completely unbothered, which is what separates a good novelty piece from a groaner. Hang it on a foodie tree, hook it into a kitchen garland, wire it to a wreath above the stove, or use it as the topper on a gift of good olive oil.

Perfect for: tinned fish fans, foodie trees, hostess gifts, white elephant gifts, ornament exchanges, and cooks who travel for lunch.

A tinned fish ornament is a novelty food ornament shaped like the can itself, and it hangs from a branch on a standard hook like any other piece. People usually buy one as a stand-alone gift or as another addition to a food themed tree, and many keep it out year round on a small stand in the kitchen.

Set it near the oysters and the caviar in our unique Christmas ornaments for a branch that reads like a raw bar.
