The 2002 keepsake ornaments from Hallmark feature the girls' Christmas scenes... except that Kaya doesn't celebrate Christmas, does she? Instead, her ornament features a basket of huckleberries.
The back of the box is the same as for the 2004 series ornament, which I've already reviewed.
The inside of the box tells about Kaya looking towards the future and the love of her homeland.
Overall, I'm not as impressed with this ornament as I am with the one from the 2004 series. It is very lovely and detailed, but I think the running pose is just so much more outstanding than this one, where Kaya is simply sitting on her feet while tilting a basket forward. The color of the huckleberries is wonderful, though, and I like how the detail is visible all around, instead of just from one angle.
The little keepsake card included with this ornament is a portrait of Kaya holding her doll.
These originally cost $15 and you can find them anywhere from $5 to $50 on eBay. I wouldn't pay more than $13 for this one, since I've seen it on eBay more than any other Kaya ornament.
Overall, I give this ornament an A-.
