To help consumers show off these [unique collector's items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zsiga-care-bears), Bordallo Pinheiro also sells accessories for hanging and displaying the sardine sculptures. Bordallo Pinheiro also introduced a [Customizable Sardine kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-pour-gift-set), complete with a plain fish figurine in ceramic, as well as markers for drawing on the decorative piece. On the back of the box are a series of playful illustrations that detail how the shapely piece of ceramic can be customized. While there are many toy sets for kids that are designed in this way, this set has specific appeal to adult collectors, especially those who remember the original, iconic design of Bordallo Pinheiro's sardine, as depicted on the blue box packaging for the piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Collectibles:** Opportunity for companies to create customizable versions of their popular collectibles. - **Playful Art Experiences:** Innovative companies can create unique, interactive experiences for adults with customizable art kits. - **DIY Home Decor:** Trend of customers looking to add a personal touch to their home decor through personalized DIY projects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Collectibles:** Opportunity for collectibles companies to expand their product offerings with customizable versions of their most popular items. - **Arts and Crafts:** Craft companies can tap into the market for personalized, DIY home decor with customizable art kits. - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies can offer customers the opportunity to add a personal touch to their home decor with customizable DIY projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fish Lover Snacking Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinned-fish.md) - [Giftable Portuguese Tapas Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portuguese-tapas.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Giftable Customized Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself-funko.md) - [Personalized Artful Vinyl Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/send-yourself-nowhere.md) - [Flavor-Focused Tinned Sardines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinned-sardines.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Customizable Pen Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pen-creator-studio.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md)
