You know your husband better than anyone, and that's exactly what makes him hard to buy for. You've already given him the headphones, the watch and the fancy coffee maker. He has his hobby gear. Anything he wants, he's already researched, compared and bought.

So skip the next gadget and give him something only you could give him: a little clay version of himself, sculpted from your photos. The guy who rides every weekend, the one who games until midnight, the one who still flexes in the mirror and thinks nobody sees. Our studio sculpts and paints each one by hand, so it's him, his beard, his glasses, his grin. It's personal, it's a little funny and it lasts.

Here are 7 designs for husbands, from proud to playful.

Leather jacket, jeans, both hands on the bars of a red motorcycle. For the husband who's happiest on two wheels on a Sunday morning. On His Bike figurine, from $358.

2. Gamer at his desk

Want the two of you in it? Our gift ideas for your wife are all about couple moments, and every one of them works the other way around. If he's a dad too, our gifts for dad guide has designs with the kids.

When to give it

• His birthday. A funny design like the Hawaiian shirt or the dad bod gets a big laugh at the party and then quietly ends up on his desk.
• Your anniversary. A mini of him doing what he loves says "I know you." For milestone years, see our anniversary gifts by year.
• Valentine's Day or Father's Day. Order early, because each one is made by hand. Standard takes 10 to 14 business days in our studio before it ships.
• Just because. A new job, a finished marathon, a promotion. Put the moment on the base: a name or a short line there is free.

Tips for a good likeness

• Send a few photos. A clear one of his face looking at the camera and a full-body one. A third with his usual expression helps a lot.
• Show his signature details. His glasses, his beard, the cap, the tattoo on his arm. Tell us what matters and we make sure it's there.
• Pick a size. Classic is 7.1 in (18 cm), Grand 9.1 in (23 cm) and Showpiece 11.8 in (30 cm), measured to the top of the head.
• Keep it a surprise. On Standard and Faster the proof photos come to you, so you check it before he ever sees it.

How it works

1. Send a photo. Pick a design and a size, and add your photos.
2. We sculpt it by hand. Real clay, shaped and painted by hand. No 3D printing.
3. You approve the proof. On Standard and Faster you get free proof photos, and we make changes until you love it. Nothing ships until you say yes.
4. It arrives in a gift box. Tracked to the door, ready to give.

Questions people ask

Can you make his hobby if it isn't listed?
Yes. Climbing, cooking, cycling, his old truck: tell us the idea and send photos of him and the gear. Our studio sculpts it. The dog can join for $89.

What if I only have photos of him in sunglasses?
We need to see his eyes to get the face right. A clear photo without sunglasses works best, even if the rest of the outfit comes from another photo.

How much is shipping?
US Standard shipping is $14.95, and free on orders over $249. Every mini comes in our gift box and is tracked to the door.

Can I add a message for him?
Yes. His name, your wedding date or a private joke can go on the base for free. You can also tick "This is a gift" and write a note of up to 200 characters, and no prices are printed on anything in the box.
