How fun is this? A 3-inch-high figurine that looks just like you (or someone else), outfitted for a beach vacation, tennis camp, golf trip or whatever escape you want to remember or envision. Just upload one frontal and one profile digital photo of someone’s face, choose from a selection of themes, outfits and poses, and the folks at sculpteo will turn your flat image into a 3-D resin figurine — kind of like becoming your own celebrity bobblehead doll (minus the bobbling). The company will create couple or family groupings as well. Makes a neat gift for hosts. (Surely, you have welcoming friends with beach houses who are not averse to a little immortalizing?) Sculpteo Mini You, from $74.90, (no phone contact).
