Beardaments Beard Ornaments: Deck the Beard
Tiny Christmas baubles that clip onto facial hair. Your beard is now a tree.
Every December, people wrap their homes, trees and pets in decorations. Beardaments asks why your face should be left out. The set is a dozen tiny, shiny Christmas baubles with small clips, designed to hang from a beard or mustache so the wearer looks like a walking holiday tree.
It is gloriously silly, and it is guaranteed to show up in every photo from the office party.
What are Beardaments beard ornaments?
The set includes 12 baubles in red, green, silver and gold, according to the listing. Each ornament has a small clip that attaches to facial hair, and the brand says the grip is meant to stay put through a party without pulling on or damaging the hair. The ornaments are lightweight, so they do not drag a beard down, and the listing gives the set dimensions as about 3.5 by 0.75 by 3.5 inches.
You do not need a wizard-length beard to wear them. A medium beard gives the clips enough hair to hold onto, while a very short beard or stubble will struggle. The brand notes that they are not just for beards either: they can clip into mustaches or hairstyles such as pigtails, so people without facial hair can join in.
Think of them as a costume accessory rather than something to wear all day at work. They are perfect for ugly-sweater parties, Christmas cards, holiday markets and New Year's Eve. Take them out before you eat, unless you enjoy fishing ornaments out of the gravy.
Beard ornaments: who they’re for (plus gift ideas)

They also work well as a group joke. Hand a set to a room full of bearded friends at a holiday party and you have an instant themed photo. Couples can coordinate them with matching sweaters or light-up accessories. Because the set holds 12 pieces, there are enough baubles to share, lose a few and still have a full-looking beard at the end of the night.
