Deal Toys & Financial Tombstones

A deal toy is a custom-designed object that commemorates a major business milestone, such as a merger, acquisition, capital raise or successful exit. These pieces are often gifted to key stakeholders including clients, advisors and internal teams, and are proudly displayed as a symbol of achievement.

Beyond recognition, deal toys serve as a way to capture the story and impact of a transaction. In industries where relationships and reputations matter, they offer a tangible way to mark important moments and show appreciation for collaboration and success. For many firms, especially in private equity, investment banking and M&A, deal toys have become a long-standing tradition.

Most deal toys are made from plastic or acrylic, often featuring flashy colours and corporate logos that don’t blend into modern office environments. While the gesture is appreciated, the design often feels out of place on an executive desk or in a carefully curated meeting room.

Fabit3D takes a different approach. We focus on premium materials such as oak, walnut, stone, brass and dark-stained wood — materials that complement high-end interiors. Our designs are minimal, geometric and refined, with subtle engravings or printed details. Every piece is meant to feel like it belongs in the space it’s placed in, while still standing out as something special.

Absolutely. Most of our clients come to us with a general idea or a specific style in mind, and we guide them through the options. Whether you want something bold and modern, or understated and warm, we can shape the design to reflect your brand and the tone of the transaction.

You can choose from various base materials, shapes, and finishes, and we’ll incorporate your logos and deal information using high-precision engraving or UV printing. We also offer optional 3D-printed elements for an extra layer of detail. If you’re unsure where to begin, our design team is happy to brainstorm with you.

The process begins with a short intake, where we discuss the context of the deal, your vision for the design, and any specific requirements. Based on this, we create a 3D visual that gives you a clear idea of the final result — including shape, materials, and placement of text and logos.

Once you approve the design, we move into production using in-house techniques such as CNC milling, UV printing and 3D printing. The final piece is assembled with care, packed securely in a black presentation box with a soft inlay, and shipped directly to you or your clients. We keep communication clear and timelines tight throughout the process.

We understand that transaction closings can move fast and are sometimes unpredictable. That’s why we’ve built our process around speed and flexibility. If you select a design based on materials we have in stock, we can usually produce and ship your deal toy within five business days.

For fully custom designs that require new materials or complex elements, the timeline can extend to one to two weeks. Either way, we’ll keep you updated at every stage and do everything we can to meet your deadline — without compromising on quality.

Pricing depends on the complexity of the design, the materials used, and the quantity ordered. As a general guideline, our deal toys start at around €300 per unit. Most clients order between five and ten pieces, often one for each party involved in the transaction.

We don’t require a minimum order. Whether you need a single high-end piece or a full batch for your team or clients, we’ll make it work. After a short briefing, we’ll send you a clear quote with all pricing details — no surprises.
