Personal figures for newly qualified craftsmen – created as a tribute

See all trades

Celebrate the graduation day with a gift that truly means something. Our figures are designed and made in Denmark – engraved with name, date and trade, so the gift fits exactly the person and milestone you want to mark.

The graduation day is one of the great days in a craftsman's life. It is the day when years of apprenticeship, early mornings and hard work culminate in a journeyman's certificate. That day deserves a gift that lasts – not a ballpoint pen or a gift card, but something that can stand on the shelf for 20 years and remind of exactly that day.

Choose a figure by trade, add a personal engraving and order. We deliver packed and ready for presentation – directly to your door.

Frequently asked questions about journeyman gifts

What is a journeyman gift?

A journeyman gift is a gift presented to an apprentice on the day they complete their training and receive their journeyman's certificate. It is a tradition that celebrates the transition from apprentice to qualified craftsman and acknowledges the effort put into the education.

Can the products be personalised with name and date?

Yes – all our products can be engraved with name, date and a personal message. You specify the desired text when ordering, and we ensure the gift is ready for the graduation day. A personal engraving makes the gift unique and memorable.

When should I give a journeyman gift?

The journeyman gift is typically presented on the graduation day itself – either at the journeyman examination, at the dinner afterwards or with family. It is a marking of the great transition, and timing matters. Order at least 1–2 weeks in advance to ensure delivery in time.

Do you have journeyman gifts for all trade professions?

We have figures and journeyman gifts for carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, blacksmiths, mechanics, landscape gardeners and many other trades. Our range covers most vocational educations within crafts and technology.

Can companies order journeyman gifts for multiple apprentices?

Yes – many companies order journeyman gifts for their apprentices every year. We are happy to handle larger orders with individual engraving for each one. Contact us to hear about options for corporate orders.

Do you deliver across all of Denmark?

Yes – we deliver to all addresses in Denmark. Delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, and we recommend ordering in good time before the graduation day. All deliveries are sent with tracking so you can always follow your parcel.

How much does a journeyman gift with personal engraving cost?

All our craftsman figurines come in two sizes — the 16 cm standard at 599 kr and the 24 cm premium at 899 kr. Personal engraving of a name and year on the base costs +199 kr and turns the figurine into a unique journeyman gift the recipient will keep for life. The figurine arrives in a gift box, and engraving adds only 1–2 days to the delivery time, so your order still arrives in time for both the journeyman celebration and the last day of school.

Which trades do you have journeyman gifts for?

We have trade figurines for more than 40 skilled trades — from carpenter, bricklayer, electrician and plumber to chef, hairdresser, farmer, dairy technologist and watchmaker. Each figurine is designed in Denmark with the tools and workwear of the trade, so the gift matches exactly the education being celebrated. If a trade is not in the range yet, you can choose Journeyman Gift – Your Trade, where we engrave the name of the trade on the base — so no newly qualified craftsman goes without a gift that honours their trade at the celebration.
