    I see Waitress. Where is the Waiter? My grandson has a job as a waiter. I am disappointed that you not have this.
    Another grandson appears in tv shows. He has never acted on stage. Why can’t I find an ornament for him?
    I give my grandsons special ornaments each year & I have always found them from you.

      Carol: We used to carry a waiter ornament, but the manufacturer stopped making it. I will add it to my search list to try and find one. In the meantime, we have many food ornaments or drink ornaments that may work for you. A fun ornament for your grandson that appears in TV shows might be our Retro TV ornament. Or, maybe there is an ornament that is similar to his character on the show. We can do some unique personalization for you that will make it the ultimate gift.
