The scented candle
Smells like “I had no idea what to get you”.
Our mission
No more recycled gifts
We want to help anyone give gifts that are not only nice to look at, but nice to receive.
A doobli
You get attached to it and put it on display.
What’s in the box
A little act of love
Making a doobli holds everything you want to tell someone who matters: I love you, I think about you, I know you.
Edition
Every doobli’s edition is the birth year of the person it portrays.
Name and nickname
The name in large type, and underneath the nickname you actually use. You pick both.
The face
Modeled on the photo you upload: hair, glasses, smile.
The outfit
T-shirt, trousers and shoes in their favorite colors.
The three objects
Three things that say who they really are.
The details
Nationality, favorite color and star sign.
The stats
Four traits you choose, each rated from one to five.
The certificate
Serial number, edition of 1/1: every Doobli is unique and on the record.
The QR code
Scan it to see their certificate of authenticity online.
Doobliography or dedication
A bio or a dedication written by you: the part that ends up read out loud.
How it works
Three simple steps
We help you build the Doobli from scratch. It only takes a few minutes to make the perfect gift.
- 1
Configure the doobli
A guided flow helps you create the Doobli starting from just a photo and a few details.
- 2
Check the preview
We show you how it turned out — objects, words and stats — before anything becomes final.
- 3
Get your doobli
The real one, in your hands. Sealed blister, name on the front, card on the back with stats and dedication.
Our promise
We’re not asking you to buy blind.
A doobli has to be right: if it doesn’t convince you, there’s no point shipping it. That’s why every step that matters goes past your eyes first.
Up to 5 tries on the face
If the result doesn’t convince you, we can do it again.
Instant preview
We’ll show you the full preview before you pay.
Color changes
If production forces us to change a color, we send you the preview before going ahead.
When you need it
Every time “a candle” won’t cut it.
A doobli works for every occasion, and it doesn’t get forgotten. It’s not a gadget, it’s not an ornament: it’s a little act of love.
- Milestone birthdays
- Graduations
- Anniversaries
- The colleague who’s leaving

Verified reviews: zero
The only reviews we have, at least for now.
The first prototypes went to friends and family, which is to say people who couldn’t say no to us. None of these reviews is impartial, and we’re telling you before you work it out yourself.

The first reviews from strangers arrive with the first batch: if it’s one star, we’ll publish it anyway.
Fair questions
FAQ
How much does a Doobli cost?
€59.99 with shipping included for everyone on the waitlist, which is the launch price of the first batch. After launch the list price is €69.99 plus shipping.
What do I get by signing up now?
Three concrete things: a private access link before we open to the public, so you make the first batch of 200 without the rush; free shipping on your first order; and a free display stand. Signing up after launch means none of the above.
Why only 200 pieces?
Because every Doobli is made to order and we want the first batch looked after piece by piece, not churned out. When the 200 are gone, the next production run is the wait.
When does it arrive?
The first edition is in preview in Italy. We’re still settling the exact production and shipping dates: the list hears them first.
How much does it look like the real person?
Enough to make them laugh, not so much as to scare them. It’s a style: stylized nose, recognizable face, the details that count (glasses, beard, hair, outfit).
Can I pick any object?
You pick from a Doobli catalog that keeps growing. If the one you need is missing, tell us: the most requested ones become real objects.
Is it a toy for children?
No. It’s a collectible for adults, not suitable for under-14s because it contains small parts.
Do you ship outside Italy?
For the preview we’re starting in Italy. If you’re writing from elsewhere, join the list: it helps us decide where to go next.
Can I order more than one?
Yes. Whole families, teams, work squads, groups of friends. The “everyone in a blister” department is our favorite.
Who’s behind Doobli?
Over the Tap S.r.l., from Milan. We make products we’d like to receive ourselves.
