A Keepsake is much more than an ornament. It’s a little work of art, created by a real person with a real passion to tell a big story. From the people and things you love, to memories of the past, to the anticipation of something new.
Your Keepsake honors and celebrates everything that makes the holidays special- joy, togetherness, family, and friends.
When you hang a Keepsake, you’re hanging the story of you. Happy hanging!
Press the button on the ornament to hear memorable moments from this scene!

Additional information:
Bonding through their connections to their former captain, Michael Burnham and Commander Saru share a meaningful moment. Press the button on the ornament to hear dialogue from the memorable episode “Choose Your Pain” of the CBS All Access series “Star Trek: Discovery” (battery-operated). Features voice clips.
Pros: Fantastic likeness of Saru.*
Cons: The ornament captures a scene that isn’t as iconic as past Hallmark dioramas, a hazard of releasing ornaments concurrently with a Trek series. *Saru’s unique hands are overlooked in the sculpting and painting of the ornament.

Those are fair comments. Not just ornaments but any consumer products produced early in a TV show’s run feel like missed opportunities as time passes. I do have a soft spot in my heart for this one for a couple of reasons. Doug Jones is a great friend of us who work at Hallmark’s booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego, so I enjoyed capturing his character in ornament form. I also got the chance to give one of these to Sonequa Martin-Green when we attended a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas in 2019. She had not seen it before I gave it to her, and her joy was very apparent.
