What Types of Handmade Gifts and Decor Does Lucuma Designs Offer?

Lucuma Designs sells handmade, fair-trade gifts and home decor made by artists in Peru, organized into a few clear categories: eco-friendly finger puppets and toys, gourd and plant decor, boxes and vessels, and ceramic or alabaster nativities for the holidays. If you're shopping for a small gift, a nature-inspired piece of home decor, or a seasonal nativity, the site groups products so you can go straight to the type you want. Some items ship with a gift box included, which makes them easier to give as-is.

Toys and Gifts for Kids

The finger puppet line is the most gift-friendly entry point, positioned as eco-friendly toys. These are small, handmade pieces suited to children's play or as stocking stuffers and party favors.

• Finger puppets — eco-friendly toys, the category most clearly aimed at kids
• Woodland wisdom stickers — a lower-commitment, small-item option

If your goal is a playful, low-cost gift, this is the section to start with.

Home Decor

The decor side leans on natural materials and Peruvian craft traditions, with several distinct product types rather than one generic "decor" bucket.

These suit buyers looking for nature-inspired accents rather than mass-produced decor. The gourd and alabaster lines in particular reflect the handmade, artist-made positioning described on the site.

Holiday and Nativity Pieces

For seasonal gifting, the nativity collections are the main draw:

• Ceramic nativities — nativity scenes in ceramic
• Alabaster nativities — nativity scenes carved from alabaster
• Christmas — a broader seasonal category grouping holiday items

If you're buying for Christmas or a collector of nativity sets, compare the ceramic and alabaster versions: they differ in material and finish, and the site presents both as artist-made.

Gift-Ready Options

Some products are marked gift box included, which matters if you're sending something directly to a recipient and don't want to repackage it. Check the individual product listing for this note before assuming a gift box is included — it applies to selected items, not the whole catalog.

How to Choose

• Buying for a child: start with finger puppets or stickers.
• Buying decor for a home: look at gourd birdhouses, plant decor, boxes and vessels, or alabaster.
• Buying for the holidays: compare ceramic vs. alabaster nativities.
• Sending a gift directly: filter for items marked "gift box included."

The site also runs a blog profiling individual artists (for example, alabaster artist Benjamin Pizarro and ceramic artist Richard Chavez Quispe), which is useful if you want background on who made a piece before buying.
