I've yet to see one offered or advertised anywhere. I'm a collector of ornaments and seeing that it's my first Christmas with MINI, the mission is on to find one... can anybody help? (You don't have to buy me one, just steer me in the right direction!)
Find yourself a Hot Wheels or Johnny Lightning or Matchbox model of a MINI and drill a small hole in the roof. Insert an eyehook, add a hanger and voila, a MINI ornament.

You are very good, my friend! I can make a few of these and give them as gifts to my friends! They will absolutely love them !

You could get the key chains from the dealer has the MINI in different colors (not a real ornament but i like them).
by the way the BEST keychain is now at your MINI dealer. All metal 1" long1/2" wide and 1/2" thick and has MINI on one side and Let's Motor on other. appears to have been cut on a CNC machine some nothing is going to rub off or come off.
I have made several Christmas ornaments with Hot Wheels....and they are the BEST. I have painted them exactly and put the year on the bottom. Each year when we decorate the tree, the ornament will bring about discussions of the car! A really great idea!
For ornaments you can laminate the MINI collector cards with the cartoon characters on them about the different sorts of MINI drivers there are and punch a small hole at the top and insert a hook.
What about any lightweight MINI parts that can be hung on the tree? Tire valve covers? Centering rings? Air or oil filter cartridge? Dash vent rings?

That's an excellent idea!
(MINI Cooper Hot Wheels are very difficult to find.)
