Gifts that look like someone chose them, not shopped for them FAQs

Is a Li-Lu figure a pattern or a finished item?

A finished, hand-stitched figure arrives ready to display — there's no crochet pattern, kit or instructions involved, and no assembly required.

How big is a Li-Lu figure?

Each figure stands about 23cm tall, sized to sit comfortably on a shelf, desk or bedside table without dwarfing what's around it.

Will two figures in the same colour look identical?

No — each one is finished by hand, so small differences in the stitching and the wired ears mean no two are quite the same.

How do I choose between the heart and the bag detail?

The heart reads as more romantic or sentimental, while the bag suits a friend, colleague or a lighter gift — pick by who's receiving it, not the occasion.

Can I wash a Li-Lu figure?

Spot-clean only with a damp cloth — the fluffy yarn body and wired ears aren't built for a washing machine or full submersion.

Where do people usually display theirs?

Most go on a bookshelf, a desk beside a monitor, or a bedside table — anywhere with a few centimetres of flat space and no direct sun.
