Day 10 of 12 - Ten Juicy Fish Heads | From the Twelve Days of a Kiwi Christmas Collection

A keepsake ornament inspired by Aotearoa New Zealand – designed to be collected, remembered, and passed down.

The Story:

"On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,

Ten juicy fish heads."

This ornament is part of Kiwiana.iconic’s Twelve Days of a Kiwi Christmas, a story-driven keepsakes series celebrating New Zealand culture through illustration, tradition, and memory.

Each piece is carefully composed as a miniature artwork, not a disposable decoration – designed to feel just as meaningful on it’s own as it does as part of the full twelve-day collection.

Why It’s Different:

·       Original illustration created exclusively for this series

·       Designed as a collectable keepsake, not a mass-produced ornament

·       Made to complement the full Twelve Days narrative

·       Intended to be displayed, stored, and treasured year after year

This is a piece you don’t just hang – you remember.

This first edition will not be reproduced in the same form.

Materials & Finish:

• High-quality ceramic ornament
• Full-colour, high-resolution print
• Smooth gloss finish for durability and colour depth
• Size: 7.6 cm diameter x 0.30 cm thickness (2.99 in diameter x 0.12 in thickness) 
• Gold hanging cord included

Each ornament is printed to order to ensure quality and consistency across the collection.

While each ornament stands beautifully on it’s own, it’s also one part of a twelve-piece story – with every day adding another chapter to the Aotearoa Kiwi tradition.

Many customers choose to collect their favourites first… and return later to complete the set.

Why Is Shipping Separate?

To achieve the high level of finish and consistency required for a true keepsake, each ornament is professionally produced and shipped directly from our international production partner.

This allows us to:

✔Maintain high print quality and colour accuracy

✔Produce ornaments individually rather than in bulk

✔Avoid over-production and unnecessary waste

Shipping is shown clearly at checkout – no surprises, no hidden mark-ups.

** Many customers choose bundles to spread shipping across multiple ornaments.

WHY COLLECT ALL TWELVE?

The magic of this collection isn’t just in the individual designs – it’s in how they build on one another.

Each ornament represents a verse in the song, a moment in the story, and a piece of New Zealand culture. Together, they become something larger than decoration: a visual tradition.

Whether collected all at once or slowly over time, the Twelve Days set is designed to grow with you.
