The present invention relates to a tabletop wind chime which comprises a base, a trunk, and attached sound-making devices that impact with one another to produce a pleasant sound when it is struck, shaken or blown. Branching rod-like features are attached to the trunk and sound-making devices may be attached to the branching rod-like features. The branching rod-like features have different angular shapes to provide more opportunities for a plurality of sound-making devices to collide to achieve a chiming effect with different tones. Furthermore, decorative light emitting devices may be added to increase the beauty of the invention. According to this invention, a wide variety of shapes, colors, themes, and sounds are made possible while it may be unavailable to traditional wind chimes. For example, a desktop wind chime resembling a tree is possible by designing the trunk and rod-like features like a tree with the sound-making devices like leaves or butterflies. In another example, the desktop wind chime is designed to have umbrella-shaped sound-making devices with sound-making beads to impact against each other to produce sounds when it is struck.
