The scented candle
Smells like “I had no idea what to get you”.
What’s in the box
A unique, one-off miniature

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.
As many tries as you need
If the result doesn’t convince you we do it again, and there’s no number of tries after which we stop you.
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 unique miniature.

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.

Fair questions
FAQ
How much does a doobli cost?
€59.99, shipping included. That’s the launch price and it covers the first 200 pieces: after those, it goes up to list price.
How is it made?
Every doobli is 3D printed in matte PLA. The box is cardboard, with a recyclable PET blister.
How big is it?
The figure is 12 cm tall. Around it: the cardboard printed front and back measures 18.4 × 20.6 cm, the clear blister that protects it 21 × 24 × 5 cm, and the box it ships in 31 × 21.5 × 6 cm.
How much does it look like the real person?
Enough to make them laugh, not so much as to scare them. It’s the Doobli style: black eyes, stylized nose and a smile, plus the details that make them recognizable — glasses, beard, hair, outfit.
Is it a toy for children?
No: it’s a collectible for adults. It contains small parts, so it isn’t suitable for under-3s.
Who can I turn into a doobli?
For now, one person at a time: your sister, your best friend, your mother, your boss if they’ve earned it. Yourself too, which isn’t vanity: it’s collecting.
What photo should I upload?
A photo of one person, straight on and well lit. No sunglasses, masks or hands in front of the face, and no drawings: if we can’t see the face, we’ll ask for another photo. We only use it to make the face, and for nothing else.
Can I pick any object?
The catalog keeps growing, and if what you’re after isn’t there we’ll draw it on the spot: write what it is, wait a minute, and it’s in the box.
Can I change something after ordering?
Until you pay you can change anything: name, nickname, objects, clothes. After that, the doobli goes into production exactly as it is. If you spot something right away write to hello@doobli.co: if it hasn’t left yet, we’ll do what we can.
Can I order more than one?
Yes: whole families, teams, colleagues, groups of friends. The cart holds all of them and it’s still one delivery.
Where do you ship?
For now, within Italy. If you live elsewhere write to hello@doobli.co: you can also tell us where we should go next.
When does it arrive?
Every doobli is made to order: production takes two to five working days. Shipping times are shown at checkout and in your confirmation email.
Will I get tracking for my order?
Yes: as soon as the parcel leaves we email you the number and the link to follow it. You’ll also find it on the Orders page of your account.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
We’re sorry, and it’s on us. Write to hello@doobli.co with your order number and a photo of the problem: we’ll look at it and put it right.
Can I return a doobli?
It’s a custom piece, made only for you, so it can’t be returned. If it arrives damaged or faulty write to hello@doobli.co: we’ll find a solution.
Who’s behind Doobli?
Over the Tap S.r.l., from Milan. We make products we’d like to receive ourselves.
