Product description
If you can’t get together with the family at Christmas this year, send a mini stand in! Small wooden versions of your whole family!
We’ll use your photographs and make gorgeous mini wooden versions of you to post to your loved ones.
Imagine the fun to be had, positioning your mini wooden substitutes next to the gravy boat at the Christmas dinner table, standing next to the biscuits with a morning cup of tea, or thoughtfully posed in the background of a selfie?! Imagine the Instagram opportunities!
How to order :
We just need a full length photo for each person that you want to include. From the top of their head to the bottom of their feet. And honestly it might save you hours of scrolling time if you take new photos on your phone just for this.
Variations
The very best images:
- Include the whole person on their own - with nothing “bumping” into the person like a plant, a pet or another person!
- Have a little bit of an interesting pose. We’re not looking for flying superman poses here but maybe hands on hips or something.
- Have enough light on the face to see your dazzling smile!
- Include something colourful in your outfit. It’s a full colour representation of you, tutus are encouraged!
- Are in focus.
If we have any concerns about the image we’ll let you know but if you follow the above guidelines you should be on to a winner.
Once you've placed your order go to your ‘my orders’ section where you can create an order enquiry and attach the photos you'd like to use.
Who would love this?
Everybody! If you would normally visit someone and can’t this year, send your wooden substitutes. If it’s not your turn to have your kids this Christmas, make mini versions of them and have fun taking photos of them on your Christmas Day that you can share with them later. If the grandparents are missing the grandkids, these would bring a smile to their faces until you can get together again.
Need a duplicate set?
If you want to send these to more than one recipient, all the sets of grandparents maybe, we can make exact duplicates for less than a whole new order. Everything will be the same, you'll just get two (or three, or four...)
Overview
Made in Britain
Personalisation available
Dimensions
The wood we use is 6mm thick so your mini figures will feel substantial. The maximum height for the tallest person is 130mm. We’ve provided a good range of sizes for you to choose from so that the approximate heights of your family can be represented. It’s not an exact science but it works well and means you don’t have to get the tape measure out for everyone!
The box measures 14x14x2cm.
Made from
Our mini family in a box is made totally in house in our studio in Cheltenham. From the photos you provide, we digitally enhance your images and print them directly on to a gorgeous cherry wood veneer that is a sturdy 6mm thick. We then cut each individual out on our lovely laser machines. We add a tab by the feet so each figure can stand in its own circular base. To make the set even more special we also personalise the front of the box with your family name.
We've found a great and sustainably sourced cherry wood veneer for this personalised decoration from some wonderful timber merchants practically on our doorstep. It means we can keep our carbon footprint low which is really important to us. The Christmas decoration is finished with some white satin ribbon so is ready to hang on your tree.
As a natural product, there may be some variations in the colour and texture of the wood, including thinner or thicker growth patterns from the tree and the odd knot or burr in the wood. This is what makes natural wood so beautiful and is part of the product, not a flaw.
