The farewell gift people remember

Flowers wilt, vouchers disappear in a drawer. A hand-sculpted figurine shows the person as the team knows them: with tools, coffee mug, clipboard or the legendary jumper.

The contrast between working life and new hobby works especially well: the foreman with a fishing rod, the teacher with hiking poles, the bus driver with a camper van.

Ideas for the farewell cake

Trades & engineering: With toolbox, wrench, helmet or machine.

Care & medicine: Coat, stethoscope or nursing bag – instantly recognisable.

School & administration: With files, chalk, blackboard or office chair as a detail.

New hobby: Fishing rod, golf club, bicycle, garden or camper van for retirement.

With dog or cat: The pet belongs on the base – there is finally time now.

Team gift: Engraving with years of service, name or department slogan.

Lead time for the last working day

The last working day is usually known early – order 6–8 weeks ahead. Standard production approx. 3–4 weeks after preview approval, express in 10 business days.

Lead times are workshop estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates. We are happy to coordinate group orders from the team via the contact form.

FAQ

Can we order secretly?

Yes, that's the usual case. We only need good photos – the preview goes to the ordering person only, never to the recipient.

Can you engrave the years of service?

Yes. On the wooden base we engrave e.g. "40 years – 1985–2025", the name or a department slogan.

What does it cost if the team chips in?

The 15 cm figurine costs €159.95, the cake set €19.95. Several people on one base are priced by the number of figures.

Are work clothes and tools possible?

Yes, that's the charm: overall, coat, uniform, hi-vis vest plus tools, laptop or machine are sculpted along.

Does it have to go on a cake?

No. Many place it on the buffet with its wooden base or hand it over as a gift. The cake set is optional.

What if we only have older photos?

No problem. Describe current details such as hairstyle, glasses or beard and our sculptors adjust – you can correct everything in the preview.
