Family Figurines $2.95

LTD's Family Figurines are created to look like the popular Willow Tree line with its carved wood style ceramic and focus on the love of a family. However these are only 2.95 plus shipping while similar style authentic Willow Tree figurines are upwards of $20.00.

There are several styles for both moms and non-mom valentines. We suggest "Love Figurine" for sweethearts & non moms, "New Family Figurine" for new moms, and "Mother and Daughter Figurine" or "Mother and Child Figurine" for wives, depending on the amount and gender of your children. If you have an only son, we suggest the "New Family Figurine" as well, even if he's grown up. It will remind her of that beautiful new baby time, even if it was long ago.
