Bird Ornament – MakerBot
Part of the MakerBot Christmas Ornament collection, these 3D printed birds are simple but would cut a cool figure perched on the end of a Christmas tree branch. Print the entire collection including a traditional bell, bauble and spiral decoration. www.thingiverse.com/thing:580056

Ribbon Christmas Present – Mezwik
This three piece simple print works well as a standalone decoration for a minimalist approach. Print in a bold red for a real festive feel and perhaps present in separate parts as a puzzle. www.thingiverse.com/thing:592080

Gift Card Case – AC1385
If it’s really the eleventh hour and Amazon Prime delivery just isn’t going to cut it, then a gift card is always a safe bet. Give it a more personal touch with a 3D printed card holder – who said a gift card was a lazy present?www.thingiverse.com/thing:603084
