It appears that the individual ornaments are currently sold out, but a full set is still available. The price really isn’t bad for 21 individual ornaments, and this would be an awesome way to decorate a “theme” tree.

According to the shop, next year they will also be featuring ‘lace-engraved scientist valentines–because nothing says “I love you” quite like Marie Curie or Gregor Mendel!’ Quite so.
