The two of you, sculpted
An anniversary or engagement gift sculpted from photos of you both, at your real heights, in the clothes you choose.
Your idea, made real
Every anniversary comes with a list of gifts that are meant to suit it, and most of them end up in a drawer. A figurine of the two of you does not. It can be you as you are now, you on your wedding day, or a photo that matters brought to life, such as the first date or the proposal, sculpted from photos and painted by hand.
What to send us
- A clear front on photo of each face in daylight, and one from the side.
- A full length photo of the two of you standing together, which is how we get the height difference right.
- The outfits you want, either everyday clothes or what you wore on the day you are recreating.
- If you are recreating a moment, the photo of it, even if it is blurry. It is the pose we need from it, not the detail.
- The wording for the base, such as your names and a date.
Recreating a moment
The best loved couple figures tend to recreate something: the proposal, the first dance, the two of you on a beach or on a motorbike. An old or blurry photo of the moment is fine for the pose, and the faces and clothes are sculpted from clearer photos of each of you.
Height difference matters more than people expect. A figure where the two of you are the same height looks wrong straight away, so we build it from a full length photo of you together, and you check it on the renders before anything is printed.
It is then printed in resin, finished in full colour, and set on its base.

Questions
Is this the same as a cake topper?
Close. A cake topper is made to stand on a cake, so it is usually small and light. An anniversary figure is made to be displayed, so it can be larger and more detailed. If you want one for the wedding that then lives on a shelf, our cake topper page covers it.
Can it be a surprise for my partner?
Yes. Look through recent photos for a clear face in daylight and a full length one of each of you, and send several. We will tell you if there is enough to work from.
Can you add our dog?
Yes. Send side on and face photos of the dog as well, and it goes on the same base.
