Maxine

I am a Maxine junky. I've collected the ornaments for years, but it's only been in the last year that I've discovered that there are "secret" Maxine ornaments - those ornaments that are not sold in the stores. So...what's the secret? How do I go about finding them?

I'm not sure they were "secret" Maxine ornaments, but there have been a few that were not listed in recent dreambooks.

2006 Maxine Bakes, TALKING (battery op) Maxine ornament sold only via hallmark.com, only 750 made and very hard to find these days.

2007 Maxine Annoy the World, Maxine and Floyd ornament was also a hallmark.com exclusive. Maxine Bakes and Annoy the World were not sold as "keepsake" ornaments. They were packaged without boxes, in Styrofoam, more like the "gift line" ornaments Hallmark offers.

2007 Maxine's Merry Chris-mess, was sold only to Keepsake Ornament Club members that attended the Oct 07 Club Conventions.

Hallmark.com is no longer selling gifts or ornaments, so guess there will be no more hallmark.com exclusive ornaments.

We do have photos of the three listed above and two of the three available for purchase on our site at hookedonornaments.com . Just type Maxine in the search box on the upper right side of the screen.

AND...Be sure to read our recent blog article about Maxine...I hope you enjoy it!
