Enter the Dad and Me Gingerbread Character – a simple, quirky, and eye-catching design that brings a fresh twist to traditional gingerbread décor. More than just a festive ornament, this handcrafted figure captures the joy and warmth of fatherhood, making it an ideal keepsake or gift for any occasion.
Unlike typical cookie cutter gingerbread designs, the Dad and Me Gingerbread Character features a gingerbread man carrying a child on his shoulders – a tender, playful image that immediately evokes the bond between a father and child. Draped around the gingerbread man’s neck is a heart-shaped tag that reads ‘Dad and Me’, reinforcing the heartfelt connection. This design is not just decorative; it symbolises love, support, and the everyday moments that define fatherhood.
The character’s quirky charm is eye-catching, making it a standout piece wherever it is placed. Whether you are looking to add a dash of fun to your festive decorations or searching for an all-year-round reminder of special moments, this gingerbread figure fits the bill perfectly.
Crafted from soft, durable felt with high-quality threads, each Dad and Me Gingerbread Character exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 4 inches (10 cm) in height, it is the perfect size to tuck inside a greeting card or display on a desk, shelf, or mantelpiece. Thanks to intricate stitching and attention to detail each item is truly one of a kind.
The Dad and Me Gingerbread Character offers three stylish finishing options via a convenient drop-down menu at checkout:
- Fridge Magnet – A magnetic strip is attached to the back, making it easy to display your gingerbread on the fridge, memo board, or any magnetic surface. This practical option keeps the character in plain sight, brightening your day every time you open the kitchen door.
- Hanging Decoration – Completed with a matching ribbon, the gingerbread can be hung on Christmas trees, walls, door knobs, or window latches, adding a playful touch wherever you choose to place it. The ribbon ensures it’s easy to display for year-round decoration.
- Plain – For those who prefer versatility, the plain option lets you use the figure as a bookmark, frame it for wall art, or affix it to a greeting card for a personalised touch. This choice is ideal if you are feeling creative or want to present it uniquely.
Whether you want a boy or a girl on the gingerbread man’s shoulders, you can customise your figure to match your own family dynamic.
Using the boxes at checkout, let me know your preference for the colour of the heart, and the ‘Dad and Me’ text. This enables your gingerbread to be made to your specifications.
