Just weeks before Christmas, Makayla Burns and her father feared their Grand Rapids-based business was going bankrupt. Their struggling business, known as Horrornaments, makes non-traditional ornaments like Evil Elves and Evil Pickles. So Makayla made a video documenting her father’s dismay as they settled in.
“It’s mid-December and my dad is currently walking around our warehouse wondering why we’re not busy with orders,” she notes in the video.
Soon after, the video went viral and the two suddenly found themselves inundated with orders.
Cool Company, hard to pronounce
Contrary to what Makayla says in the video below, Horrornaments doesn’t exactly come off the tongue. The company derives its name from the combination of the words “horror” and “ornaments”.
The pair note that in just two days after Makayla’s video dropped, their business received as many orders as in the first 11 months of this year.
Her father expressed his gratitude as Makayla recorded another video saying, “You saved this business.”
Most Christmas decorations on the Company Website sell for around $13. They’re as adorable as they are spooky, with Christmas skulls, possessed trees, zombie gnomes, brains and more. They also feature ornaments (or Horrornaments) that celebrate other holidays.
