What We Are Buying Today: La Creation

When it comes to helping make memories last forever La Creation has carved out a market with a difference — for personalized wooden sculptures.
The international shop, available in Riyadh, Denver in the US, and Sheffield in England, produces handmade dolls as constant reminders of special occasions in a person’s life.
The wooden characters, which can be modeled on any individual with a choice of outfit, colors, body pose, and size, can be mounted on a wooden board for home decoration, desk nameplates, to mark the arrival of a baby, and for a host of other events.
The frames offer a way to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, hobbies, professions, sport, family members, or a graduation day, and captions can also be added.
La Creation also produces wooden boxes branded with a person’s name in 3-D which can be requested in Arabic or English.
Customers can choose the background to their memory board — which comes in three sizes — from a standard set or by using their own images.
