Ripleys Nest is an independent sculpture studio in the Lake District that makes gifts for people who love their animals. Its best-known piece is a custom pet bust: the buyer sends a photo or two of their dog, cat, rat or other pet, and Ripleys Nest makes a marble-effect bust of that animal, made to order and hand-finished. It costs $79.00 with free tracked delivery, UK and worldwide. Ripleys Nest also makes sculptural head planters and a range of rat cage accessories. For Christmas, buyers can order a gift voucher now and send the photos later.
