An 18th birthday gift — a keepsake figure from your photo

We start with what her friends recognise her by: glasses, hairstyle and hair colour, her favourite dress or hoodie. In her hand the figure gets a camera, a book, a microphone or a tennis racket — depending on what the birthday girl is into. If a particular outfit matters to you, for example the dress from her pre-graduation ball (a school tradition in Poland), attach a full-length photo.

An eighteen-year-old is easy to portray through what he does after school: a game controller and headphones, a guitar, a barbell from the gym, or a backpack and binoculars if the mountains are calling him. Has he just passed his driving test? A line on the stand is all it takes — “Driver as of today”.

Parents can give a frame with the whole family and the words “Our Emily is 18” on the background — the page family frame with figures suggests how to arrange the figures. Another idea is your daughter or son in two versions: a small figure with shorter legs, made from a childhood photo, and today's one — all grown up.

Godparents rarely have a recent photo of their godchild to hand — a shot from social media or a photo from the parents will do, as long as the face is visible. On the stand we print a dedication: “From your godmother”, “From your godfather”, the name and the date of birth. Only the person ordering sees the design, so the surprise won't get out.

When a whole class or the gang from the neighbourhood chips in, everyone's figures stand in one frame next to the birthday person, and the background has room for names and the party date. A 40×50 cm frame holds up to 50 figures, so it's enough even for a whole class. Ideas for every other birthday — birthday gift.

A short inscription of one or two lines looks good on the stand: “18”, “Jake's 18th”, “Officially an adult”, “18 at last!” or just the date of birth. There is room for longer wishes on the frame background. And when school-leaving exams are coming up, see also a gift for a graduate.

We send the design preview for approval, and once you say “yes”, we usually ship the order the next business day. Delivery takes 1–3 business days within Poland and 2–6 business days to the EU (other countries: cost confirmed before dispatch), and if the date is close, there's a paid “Express shipping” option in the cart.
