There are so many animal figurines available in the world, but how many of them also feature a nightlight?  This one portrays a crocodile and turtle in an intense game of chess with a cleverly placed light under the chessboard.

This would be the perfect gift for any chess, reptile or amphibian enthusiast who needs a little extra household illumination. Checkmate!

This guide will assist you in keeping your crystal collection beautiful and almost dust free as they are oftentimes the cornerstone of home decor. To help prevent dust from entering your cabinets and curios, apply weather stripping to the edges of the doors. When displaying your pieces, keep them back from the edges to prevent them from falling.

To clean crystal figurines wipe them with newspaper dipped in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts water. Remove dirt from fine crevices using an inexpensive auto detail brush or soft toothbrush. The bristles are stiff enough to get into tight spaces, but soft enough not to damage surface.

If you’re stumped on what to get a friend or a family member for a present, may I suggest figurines as a great way to go.  Figurines make unique gift ideas as you have a ton of animals to choose from – pandas, swordfish and domesticated animals like cats – so depending on what kind of creature the gift recipient likes, you have an endless selection.  They also make great gifts for elementary school-aged children who are discovering animals and want to learn more. 

Animal figurines are versatile gifts that are waiting for someone to take a gander.
