To celebrate the holidays, HSN, has rounded up some of the celebrities and designers in their stable to create the heART HSN 2010 Designer Ornament Collection. As part of the company's overall "HSN Cares" philanthropic campaign, the heART collection is available exclusively on HSN and hsn.com featuring ornaments designed by more than 70 HSN partners. The profits (no less than 30 percent of the purchase price of each ornament) will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute and works on finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

The collection features ornaments designed by Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige, Sean Combs, Tori Spelling, Molly Sims, Martha Stewart, Susan Lucci, Jonathan Adler, Nate Berkus, Padma Lakshmi and many others. The collection ranges in price from $19.90 to $49.90, with the exception of the ornament by fashion designer Naeem Khan. That ornament, shown at right, is covered in brilliant, hand-cut Swarovski crystals and sells for $299.
