A multi-purpose ornament assembly is disclosed which includes a plurality of separate interchangeable elements, including a lightweight plastic main body surrounded by a shrink-wrapped decorative film and a pair of upper and lower end caps which frame the main body. In its preferred form the invention includes a spring powered music generator which is enclosed by the main body and the upper end cap. The winding element for the music generator is coupled to the hook or eyelet at the top of the ornament from which the ornament is suspended. Rotary motion of the hook or eyelet relative to the top of the ornament winds the music generator and causes the suspended ornament to thereafter rotate on its vertical axis as the spring motor of the generator unwinds. Alternative embodiments include a musical ornament which serves the additional function of being a gift box for small objects such as jewelry or the like.
