Life events should be met with anticipation and celebrated with people you care about. Celebrating weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and other major life milestones are sometimes dreaded, because of the costs of buying gifts for the celebrants. However, special gifts to mark these occasions do not really have to be tough on the budget, if you can find simple yet meaningful gifts that are right for the occasion.

Collectible porcelain figurines are perfect special gift ideas to celebrate special events. You can find a great deal of these tiny works of art that are exquisitely crafted with very fine details. They are often of heirloom quality, made of the highest quality of porcelain that will ensure many years of keepsake memories.

For a newly married couple, for example, a porcelain figurine depicting their long lasting love would be a perfect wedding gift. With proper care, the couple can still stare at this collectible porcelain figurine many years later and be reminded of their dedication to each other. When the couple's first baby arrives, a gift of a porcelain statue depicting motherly love would be the perfect special gift for the occasion.

Sometimes, there is no need for an occasion to give someone a classic porcelain statue. There are many of these figurines that show family love or faith that one can simply keep as home decor. These can be great conversation pieces, especially Christian figurines which are depictions of a family's faith. In times of crisis, such as the passing of a loved one, these figurines can also relay a message of hope and peace.

One thing that sets these classic porcelain figurines apart from other gifts is that they can communicate different positive messages, as they are actually symbols of love, peace, hope and joy.
