Nearly Natural 24-pc Pink and Silver Ball Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments vs Lenox Twelve Days of Christmas Ornament Set

Buy the Nearly Natural set if you want volume and worry-free decorating, especially with kids, pets or a busy household. Buy the Lenox set if you want a keepsake theme and a boxed gift. The Nearly Natural balls are plastic and shatterproof, so they survive drops and storage; the Lenox pieces are small porcelain-style ornaments built around the Twelve Days theme. Owners of shatterproof sets praise the durability but note plastic looks less refined up close; Lenox collectors value the theme and packaging but treat the pieces as delicate.

• Choose the Nearly Natural set if you need many ornaments for a full tree, a garland or a wreath and want them to survive drops, pets and tight storage.
• Choose the Lenox set if you want a themed, collectible gift in a presentation box and will hang the pieces carefully.
