Or how about this awesone ornament from Amy's Bubbling Boutique?
I love these Memory Bears from FlowerCreek at Etsy. I can imagine having the bear made from a shirt or a sweater of your loved one, and then having a special time to set these bears out under the tree, telling stories and remembering good times!
At our house we do something very simple. We make an ornament using a photo of the person. It is super simple: use quality card stock and cut out a frame larger than the photo. Glue the photo onto the cardstock. Punch a hole at the touch and run a ribbon through it to create a hanger. Tie a knot at the end so the ribbon stays put. Glue decorative trim around the photo. On the back side, write the name and years born/died. Hang on your tree and remember that loved one each year.
