This white star-shaped ornament is printed with the quote "Senator By Day, World's Best Dad By Night" — a funny, personal Christmas gift for the Senator who is also a great dad. Made from MDF with a high-gloss plastic finish and printed edge-to-edge via sublimation, it's built to last well beyond a single holiday season. At $16.95, it ships ready to hang or wrap.
A Christmas Ornament with a Dual-Role Message
Most holiday ornaments are decorative. This one is also specific. The Senator By Day, World's Best Dad By Night star ornament names both roles the recipient carries — the public-facing professional and the dad who shows up at home. That kind of specificity is what turns a generic holiday gift into something someone actually keeps.
"Senator By Day, World's Best Dad By Night."
The quote is printed via sublimation directly into the surface of the ornament — not applied as a sticker or iron-on. Sublimation printing bonds the ink to the material at a molecular level, which means the colors stay bright and the design doesn't peel, crack, or fade with age or handling.

What does the ornament say?
The ornament is printed with the quote "Senator By Day, World's Best Dad By Night." The message is applied via sublimation printing, which bonds the ink directly to the MDF surface. This means the design will not peel, crack, or fade with handling or storage over multiple holiday seasons.
What is this ornament made from?
This ornament is made from MDF (medium-density fiberboard) with a high-gloss plastic finish. MDF is lightweight and break-resistant, making it a practical choice for holiday decorating in households with children or pets. It is more durable than ceramic or glass ornament alternatives.
What does sublimation printing mean for this ornament?
Sublimation printing uses heat to bond ink directly into the surface of the material rather than applying it on top as a sticker or decal. The result is an edge-to-edge print with vivid, permanent colors that do not fade, peel, or crack with age, handling, or repeated storage and display cycles.
Does it come with a way to hang it?
Yes — this ornament includes a festive gold cord for hanging. It is ready to place on a Christmas tree or display hook without requiring any additional hardware. The cord is attached and suitable for standard tree branch widths.
Is this ornament safe for households with kids or pets?
Yes — the MDF construction makes this ornament lightweight and resistant to breaking, unlike glass or ceramic alternatives. If it is knocked off a tree or shelf, it is unlikely to shatter. This makes it a practical choice for decorating in active households.
Is this only useful as a Christmas ornament?
Not necessarily. The star shape and white finish make it usable as a year-round desk or shelf display piece as well. While it is designed with holiday decorating in mind, the profession-specific quote gives it meaning beyond a single season, and many recipients choose to display it outside of Christmas.
Can this be gifted by a colleague or staff member, not just family?
Yes — while the "World's Best Dad" message resonates most with family members, colleagues, aides, or staff can also give this as a year-end appreciation gift to a Senator who is known to be a father. At $16.95, it is also well-suited to group gift exchanges or office holiday gifting budgets.
