Caganers
The following is not a joke:
In Catalunya, the part of Spain that includes Barcelona, people give caganers as gifts. The translation is little shi--ers. These figurines are usually public figures. So if you are there for Christmas, this would make a most unusual souvenir or gift.

They are not a "long standing tradition in French Catalunya". It is only 2 years ago that a Catalan company started to make them specifically for the French market and to export them. Right now there are only 2 shops selling them in Perpignan and the choice is limited. When we want one, we go to Figueres

Spent almost an hour to see if I could find anyone i personally know or have met including IMDonehere among the figurines, to no avail.
Do you know if they will make dolls from photographs we can send them?

For the benefit of the world, my Caganer is not to be found on the page of images. As far as making a doll from the photographs, I think your wife might be concerned on many levels.
