Introduced to the gifts and collectibles industry in 1978, Missouri-based Precious Moments® is the world's most recognized inspirational brand. Created by illustrator Sam Butcher, who originally created the illustrations as an expression of his personal faith and desire to convey a message of loving, caring and sharing, the line began as artwork given as gifts to friends and family. A business was launched when he set out to market cards and posters based on his artwork of endearing teardrop-eyed children; today the beloved brand is integral to countless family celebrations and commemorations. The three-dimensional sculptures, figurines and snow globes inspired by the artwork of Sam Butcher are designed to mark the special moments and meaningful milestones in your family's life. Inspirational products include crosses, bisque porcelain figurines, photo frames, musical figurines, musical water globes, banks, holiday figurines, new baby figurines and birthday figurines.
