(Miami, FL) -- A Florida couple from Puerto Rico that own a 3D print shop near Miami got a mysterious order for 56 ornaments.

At first, co-owner Aida Velez said she did not know the commission came from First Lady Melania Trump. She found out after the White House official 2025 Christmas Tree was unveiled December 1st.

Velez says the six-inch ornaments depicting state flowers and birds adorn the official White House tree in the Blue Room-commemorating Gold Star families. She says it's extra special because her husband is a veteran.

Aida Velez owns Be 3D Printshop in Cutler Bay and says the order came out of the blue via email in October.

She says she Googled the name of the person who sent the email and found she is a government official who works directly with the First Lady.

Velez says since the White House tree was unveiled, she's been flooded with ornament orders.

Even though the design was exclusive to the White House, she was able to tweak it and print her own.
