Eggo Waffle Glass Ornament by Cody Foster

A waffle, rendered in glass, hung on a Christmas tree. The joke works because the execution is serious: this is the same material as the heirloom baubles beside it, and glass carries lamplight in a way resin and wood simply do not.

Give it to the person whose weekend genuinely begins at the toaster, or work it into a kitchen tree alongside the rest of your food ornaments. Cody Foster ornaments have a following because they treat everyday things with the reverence usually saved for angels and stars. Hang it toward the front of a branch where the surface can catch the light.

How do you store glass Christmas ornaments so they don't break? Glass ornaments keep best individually wrapped in acid-free tissue inside a compartmented ornament box, stored somewhere dry and temperature-stable rather than an uninsulated attic or garage. Wrapping each piece separately stops painted and glittered surfaces from rubbing against one another between seasons.
