This compact treasure is full of festive spirit — perfect for adding a touch of magic to your Christmas décor, slipping into a stocking, or gifting as a unique keepsake.

Lovingly crafted by Peruvian artisans, this miniature nativity scene is inspired by the traditional retablo — a form of Peruvian folk art that tells stories through intricate, hand-painted scenes enclosed in tiny boxes. Each figure is carefully sculpted and painted, reflecting generations of artistry and devotion.

Doing our part for the environment.

We try to use recycled packaging for all of our orders so you can expect to receive your item in a pre-used carton or container but don't worry, it will still reach you in perfect condition.

When we can't use a pre-loved box, we'll use recyclable packaging envelopes and paper tape made from 100% recycled fibres.

We encourage you to re-use your packaging either to mail other items or in crafts with your little monkeys - the hours of fun that can be had with a cardboard box are priceless!
We're sure you'll be happy with your order but should you wish to return it, we accept returns of all un-used, non-personalised prints and products.

Please note that the items need to be unused and returned in their original packaging to be eligble for a refund. Please also note that refunds exclude the cost of delivery and the cost of the return is made by the customer. If you wish to make a return, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

We are very particular about colour and quality and all products are quality checked before being sent out, however, please be aware that colour appearances on your computer, digital or mobile phone screens can vary slightly.
One of our motivations for setting up Cheekymono was to try and support women and children from our ancestral motherland.

We do this by donating 5% of profits to charities that help support women and their families in Peru.

We also take care when sourcing our clothing and homeware to ensure that the artisans who make our products, usually women, are paid fairly and produce their crafts in good working conditions. We support Fairtrade factories and are against child labour and animal cruelty, working with our suppliers to ensure these practices are not used in the production of our products.

Of course, we'd like to do more and have big dreams for the future, read more about our mission, values and goals on our about page.

We appreciate that we all have a part to play in creating a sustainable future for all life on this planet, and we appreciate you too, thank you.
