Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to systems and methods of interacting with an ornament. Exemplary embodiments can establish a communication network between an ornament, a first user interface including a first graphical user interface, and a second user interface including a second graphical user interface. Exemplary embodiments can execute a messaging function at the second graphical user interface to generate and send a first message from the second user interface to the first user interface. Exemplary embodiments can, upon sending the first message to the first user interface, transmit a signal to the ornament to actuate a visual indicator of the ornament in a first color scheme or pattern to indicate that the first message has been sent to the first user interface.
