A pontoon styled ornament can be a great gift. I get a lot of these ornaments from friends and family because they know about my boating obsession. I keep a lot of them at home on my desks and shelves, and some I even keep on my boat.

Children love these! They’ll play with it all day as if it was an action figure. Also, if purchased for Christmas, the ornament will look great on your Christmas tree. It’s not a small piece, it measures approximately 3’ so it’s sure to stand out on your tree. Children love to decorate a Christmas tree.

This is a sturdy ornament which should put up a good fight. You’ll find that many cheap ornaments can be broken without little effort. Though, this one is manufactured from quality resin material.
