Sort of a tangent of MysticCat's tree, my roomie's kids are the only grandchildren on both sides. Rather than compete on the toys, I've bought each of them a special ornament each year. Roomie is very worried about what she'll do when they grow up and move out!
At my house, I have a completely feminine tree, something I could do when I was divorced. It's green, but the ornaments & beads are all pink, white, gold, or clear. I put sprays of flowers to fill the "holes". I then sprinkle "snow" over it, to soften the green.
At my mother's, this year's tree is a weird combination: our annual White House ornament collection and Bichon Frises! So, it's also somewhat gold and white!
Growing up, we had a white tree, and every year, it had a different theme - red, green, blue, and purple stand out. We also had a small real tree, with the sentimental ornaments on it. Yes, lots of needlework or other handmade ornaments!
ETA: forgot about the flowers!
