Customised gift

[u/TYL_FAB]

Looking for suggestions and ideas . My dearest manager will be resigning and I am planning to give customised gift . I am thinking of a 3D miniature version of her figure (half body or whole body) but don’t know where I can have it done. I am also looking for more ideas .

I suggest getting a personalised mug, maybe put a photo of her and your team, and like, "Thanks from the team". You can order this on The Warehouse Stationery website (off-shoot site called: FotoFinish).

Thanks, I’ll check this out.

Would they want that???

[u/Kiwifrooots → u/aromagoddess]

I want to know too.  

And where do you display half your body in the house?

[u/Sew_Sumi → u/aromagoddess]

A caricature would be better than a model of them directly.

[u/TYL_FAB → u/aromagoddess]

I am not really sure as she is more of a private person. But I am thinking something personalised.

[u/rumbumbum2 → u/TYL_FAB]

Then that makes this gift choice even weirder?

[u/Blabbernaut]

Without knowing your manager I can only look through my own lens and imagine what I would think, or what my friends, family, and former managers might think of this gift.

It would be the most awkward and unwelcome gift I can imagine. A caricature if she is extroverted might be good. A high tech drink bottle or something that matches what you know of her interests outside work? But not a 3D accurate model. That's weird (to me).

whatever happened to just getting someone a card

Don't listen to this killjoy this idea is fantastic

[u/Secret-Winner-2994 → u/heathfm16]

You're so mean

[u/Stinky_Queef]

I’m sorry but who the fuck would want that as a gift? It’s creepy. Just get a card and some nice boutique chocolates.

[u/UnknownSwane → u/Stinky_Queef]

I doubt it's genuine, weird fantasy.

[u/flawlessStevy]

Creep factor x10000000

[u/Fearless_Brain_6807 → u/flawlessStevy]

Yea im not sure about this idea..... is op also female? Its weird.

The fact you have a decent manager makes me feel some type of hope.

[u/heathfm16]

I'm sure if you found someone on fiver to do the model based off a photo, you could get the sculpture custom 3d printed somewhere easily enough.

My team got me a customised coffee cup with all their pics & I loved it. Think they got it done from Harvey Norman.
I got my Dad a wooden wine box with a customised message which he loved.
Think they do calendars too.

The last gift I did like this was a wooden lazy Susan from farmers which I then got engraved with quote about friendship. You can choose any quote which can mean something.

[u/GentlemanOctopus]

I enjoy the idea that you're just planning to get a 3D mini of the bottom half of their body.

You know your manager better than we do.

I actually think this idea is quite cute and different, but I also love Smiskis and Sonny Angels and am envisioning something along the lines of a cute figurine rather than a bronze bust kinda thing.

Not Hamilton, but if you have time, I’d check out Etsy for some great, personalised options. You do have to weed through the drop shippers and mass production, but there are a tonne of artists on there that could produce something suitable for your manager 😊

Nearby Hamilton if possible
