About Friends of the White House

Welcome to Friends of the White House!

Friends of the White House grew out of my passion for American history and a fascination with the White House and its Presidential inhabitants.

I’ve spent the last 20 years working in the fine gifts and Christmas ornament business and wanted to follow my passion by creating a collection of unique, one of a kind, individually hand painted ornaments capturing the rich tradition and heritage of the White House.

It is our purpose to educate and to preserve our nation’s history, its traditions, and its heritage. Each annual ornament design and theme explores major historical events that surrounded the White House and its Presidents. Each ornament is an individual work of art.

Please visit our “About Our Ornaments” section of our website for a detailed description and pictures highlighting the creation of our 2008 Christmas ornament, the first in a series of ornaments commemorating George Washington, the first President of the United States. 

Know that we maintain the highest standards of quality in all of our endeavors and it is my sincere hope that this years Christmas ornament, as well as others in the collection, brings you many years of joy.

Warm regards,

 
Peter P. Gacicia III
President/CEO
