ZWETSCHGENMÄNNLE -translated as “prune men,” these figurines are made from dried prunes combined with birch wood (forming the “backbone”), figs, and a painted walnut head. Legend has it the prune men were invented by a wiredrawer in the 18th century who wanted to give his children something special, but only had wire and a plum tree. The result? Prune man (or prune people), which symbolizes the act of gift-giving around the holidays. Legend also has it that a prune man will bring money and happiness to households, so don’t eat the adorable figures—they’re just for show and can be maintained for years with light dustings and infrequent alcohol rubs. $25 (Made to order by Grace Slater)
