A Custom Figurine of Grandma: A Gift That Spans Generations
Your grandmother keeps everything. Nursery school drawings, birthday cards, class photos stored in an old biscuit tin. She is the family's memory, and yet she is rarely the one being celebrated.
Whether it is Grandmother's Day (the first Sunday of March in France), her birthday or the holidays, flip the script this time: give her a keepsake of herself. A figurine in her likeness, printed in HD resin in a French workshop, from a single photo.
A memory you can hold
Flowers wilt, chocolates vanish before dessert. A figurine stays. It finds its place on the sideboard next to the photo frames, and becomes one of those objects that gets handed down one day with the words "that was Grandma".
That is what sets it apart: it is about her today, and it will still be about her thirty years from now.
From photo to figurine
It all starts with a photo. You upload it, the AI picks up her features, and a 2D preview appears in under three minutes. Then you choose the style, the finish and the size, and adjust until it really looks like her. Nothing goes into production until you approve it, and the photo you send is deleted after generation.
For the photo, go for a sharp, front-facing portrait with a well-lit face. Two limits to know: small accessories like thin glasses, earrings or delicate necklaces are simplified or removed so the piece stays printable, and very fine fabric patterns are replaced by the outfit of the style you pick.
Three finishes for three personalities
A human figurine comes in three finishes:
- Complex: rich in detail and texture. The most faithful, for a portrait that looks like her down to the last line.
- Simplified: bright, flat colours, five colours max. Perfect if a grandchild wants to paint it themselves.
- Chibi: big round head, large eyes, smooth surfaces. The sweet version that will make her laugh.
A style that suits her
More than 15 styles are available for human figurines, from Knight to Mage, Tennis to Cyberpunk. A grandma as a Mage has real presence.
But it is often Custom Mode that hits the mark. You freely describe a style that is not in the library, and her face is kept. The gardener with her watering can, the seamstress with her tape measure, the jam queen in her apron, the retired schoolteacher with her chalk. Those details are what make everyone say "that's so her".
Size and budget
Every figurine ships in raw, unpainted resin unless you choose the painting option.
| Size | Price |
|---|---|
| 54mm | 18€ |
| 110mm | 31€ |
| 150mm | 38€ |
| 180mm | 45€ |
The 110mm is the ideal display size for a sideboard or mantelpiece. The 180mm makes a centrepiece when all the grandchildren chip in. Shipping is not included and is calculated at checkout.
If you want it to arrive ready to display, the hand-painted option is available in 150mm (129€) and 180mm (169€). Classic finish, main colours and contrasts, with a preview sent before painting begins.
One figurine per person
Each figurine depicts a single person: one photo, one figurine. To bring both grandparents together, order one figurine each at the same time so they can stand side by side. For him, we have a dedicated article on a custom figurine of Grandpa.
Her cat or dog can complete the scene: pet figurines exist for dogs and cats, with six styles, in 54mm and 110mm.
Plan ahead
After the preview, the team prepares the 3D model within 24 working hours, then an unpainted figurine ships within 10 working days. Order two to three weeks before the big day. For a painted figurine, allow 20 to 25 days.
We ship with tracking to France and across the European Union, in reinforced packaging with custom-fitted padding.
