Lovingly Hand Carved Gift Ideas For Christmas And Other Special Occasions:

For gift ideas that are original and individual, many people have collected wood carvings from Christine Coffman's artwork collection. Her wood carving skill is used in many different aspects of gift giving, and makes excellent gifts for all ages.

Christmas ornaments, which can be used on the tree or as "out all year" figures, are very often used for gifts. Collectors can find many wood carvings of their interests, such as cats, bears, "noggins" and Santa ornaments. Often the tiny child ornament is the first Christmas ornament given to the new grandchild. There are boy ornaments, girl ornaments, or "just a little baby" ornaments. The ornaments are dated with the year, or on request the full date of birth could be used.

Gifts Tailored to Collector's Needs

Because Coffman designs her own work, gifts can be tailored to a collectors needs. For those persons looking for an original Nativity scene, or crèche, to give as a Christmas present to the Nativity set collector, or as a gift idea any time of the year, this site may be the answer to their Nativity search.

Nativity Sets

Nativity sets that set the scene using only figures and simple palm tree backgrounds are Coffman's specialty. She uses wood carving to create Nativity figures that would be better described as miniature sculpture, rather than simple craft pieces. Each Nativity crèche is created to show an emotion that could have been felt at the manger scene. Each figurine is carved with the same care, be it the Baby Jesus or a shepherd. Sometimes the scene reflects joy, or awe or contentment. Sometimes the set will suggest an air of excitement and expectation. Sometimes it becomes a Nativity scene showing of a little of each of these emotions.

Interchangeable Nativity Set Pieces

Coffman also tries to create separate pieces that can be interchanged among the Nativity sets, so clients can feel they are creating their own scene.

Hand Carved Santa Claus Figures

Hand carved Santa Claus figures are also a popular choice for gift giving. They come in all sizes from 2 inches tall to 16 inches tall. The Santa Claus wood carvings can be for collectors or for Christmas decoration. They are signed and dated and many persons enjoy getting one as a gift or for themselves each year.

Order Christmas Gifts Early!

Christmas gifts should be ordered far in advance. These wood carvings are all hand carved by one person and you can't hurry hand carving, at least not with good results. Christmas Crèches especially should be discussed well before the gift giving Christmas season. Often just drawing the idea for the Nativity scene involves many hours, and the finishing oiling also involves time. It's very damp in Washington State, and the Nativity scenes need at least three coats of tung oil, which could add several days to the process, because the dampness slows the drying.

Don't Forget The Bear Wood Carvings

And let's not forget bears. There are all shapes and sizes of collector bears. Coffman has a lot of fun making the bears. And the bears have a lot of fun making people smile. There are tiny ones for people with little display space, silly ones for someone who needs to be cheered and bear hugs that make it possible to send someone a hug through the mail. They make funny little groups that can be added to easily.

testimonial comments from our customers.

Dear Christine,

It was not until today that I was able to look at your beautiful pieces of art. I am impressed!!! I'm telling you that I am not only impressed because of the quality of the hand carved pieces, but also for its presentation. It is the most refined presentation we have had in a long time.
The expression of the faces are unique; so sweet that there is no doubt that all of them are an inspiration of love.
Your father must be very proud of you.
Now I understand why the artist is so attached to her pieces of art. You can rest assured that your nativity is in very good hands. Our company in Spain organizes an annual exposition of Nativities of the World and yours is going to be part of it. I will make sure you receive some literature of this event.
Congratulations and my very best regards,

Maria

Good morning Christine,
Just a quick note to let you know I received my carvings, and I think they are fabulous. It was nice working with you, and I wish you continued success with your carving.

Cris

Dear Christine,
Your package arrived today and my husband was here and received it. It is wonderful. I opened it and looked at Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Then I made myself close it up and save the rest for Christmas. My husband wants to give it to me for Christmas.
I really am thrilled with it and do love it, even if I have not seen every figures.
Thank you so much for getting it done so swiftly. I can't thank you enough.
Have a very Merry Christmas. Just think how many people you have made happy this season with your marvelous gift of creativity. Many more than just me, I am sure.
Sincerely, Betsy

Hi Christine!
I just received the Santa Claus - it is so beautiful! I am especially impressed with the level of detail, especially in his face. I absolutely love it, and I know my mother will feel the same. I can't wait until Christmas! :-)

Thanks again!

I appreciate your courteousness and genuine attentiveness throughout this entire process. I hope to continue to order from you in the future.
