Special Christmas ornament for newlyweds?

[new_mommy25]

My sister got married in June and I'd like to give her and DH a special ornament for their first Christmas as a married couple. I poked around on the web and saw a few I liked but was hoping you all would have even better suggestions as to where I might look. I'd like to keep it under $50.

TIA,

What about one of these? I've bought from them before and have been happy with their ornaments as well as their CS. You can get them personalized, too:

We received a Lenox one and a Waterford ornament to decorate our tree. This year's ornaments are a little different from the one I got (but still great quality, beautiful, and timeless).

This one is $19.99 & similar to what we have

This is also pretty from Marquis by Waterford ($24)

This one is Lenox, but not sure if there's different hair colors ($25)

Wasn't impressed w/ the waterford collection this year...and over budget. And although I couldn't find a Swarovski crystal ornament for first christmases (married), their signature ornament is gorgeous!! I have one from 2003. The big one can be found for $52 (slightly over budget) and the little one for $37.50.

I think Lenox, or even Waterford is more my cup of tea, anyway. :) We do have a Lenox one that I really like, but no Waterford.
