Pros and cons
What we like
- Plays 10 different sayings from the painter
- Comes with a mini easel book featuring 30 of his landscape works
- The 4-inch figure fits easily on a desk or shelf
- Includes 3 replaceable button cell batteries
What may bother
- Only 10 phrases, so they repeat quickly in a shared office
- Not intended for children, with button batteries inside
- Figure is only about 4 inches tall, so it is a small accent
Our verdict
82 / 100A fit for the coworker or relative who already quotes happy little trees. If the recipient dislikes talking gadgets, or if there is a child nearby who could reach the batteries, choose something quieter.

Does it actually talk, or is it just a regular bobblehead?

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
