Display Case

A display case, also called a display cabinet, shadow box, or vitrine, is the classic option for showcasing your Sonny Angels. A display case is like a deep picture frame with a clear front that's deep enough to hold your favorite things. You can find display cases with glass or acrylic fronts, and some even have compartments for each figurine. They are great for protecting your minis from dust, damage, and grubby fingers.

You can put it on a table, or hang the case on your wall which is perfect if you have limited space.

If you have one close to you, Daiso has some small acrylic display cases, and of course Etsy sells them too.

Display box

A display box is another great option to show off your Sonny Angels collection. They're like display cases, but with a deeper frame so you can display different-sized dolls. Plus, some boxes can be stacked to save space, and others even have LED lights to make your collection look extra fancy.

Display Stand

If you have a smaller collection or just a few minis that you want to showcase, a display stand is a simple and cheap option. They are great for highlighting individual figurines or small groups. Some collectors like to use them to create height and depth in their displays.

A display stand, also called a display riser, is also very versatile. You can choose a clear acrylic stand to make your figurines appear to float in mid-air, or a colorful stand to add some personality to your display. You can even mix and match different stands to add some variety to your display. Plus, you can easily move the stand around to change up your display whenever you feel like it.

Nail polish rack

A nail polish rack may seem like an odd choice, but trust me, it works! It’s a great affordable option for displaying your Sonny Angels. Those little shelves are actually the perfect size for displaying those cute little figures. They are pretty compact, so you won't need a ton of space to set it up. And since these racks are designed to hold nail polish bottles, they're usually transparent, so you can see your Sonny Angels from all angles.

And the best part? You can easily mount them on your wall to create an eye-catching display!

Wooden display shelf

If you want to display your Sonny Angels collection in a charming and rustic way, a wooden display shelf is a great option! The warm and natural look of the wood will complement your cute angels perfectly. Plus, a wooden shelf will give your collection a cozy and homely feel, adding a touch of personality to your decor. They're also durable and easy to clean, so you can enjoy your little angels for years to come!

And, let's be honest, nothing beats the look of a well-organized collection on a beautiful wooden display shelf, am I right?

To create a truly one-of-a-kind display that showcases your collection, try mixing and matching different sizes and shapes of shelves. For example, you could combine our castle and house shelves to create a fun and whimsical display that's sure to impress. 

Diorama

A diorama is a miniature scene that can bring your Sonny Angels to life. Creating a diorama is a fun and interactive way to display your Sonny Angels.

You can use a shoebox or other small container to create a miniature scene, such as a beach, park, or even a cityscape. Arrange your figurines in the diorama to make them more interesting and visually appealing.

You can create a diorama with materials like paper, cardboard, fabric, or clay, and incorporate your figurines into the scene. This is a great option for those who enjoy crafting and creating.

Bowl or jar

For an easy and effortless display option, you can use a bowl or jar to showcase your Sonny Angels. You can arrange your figurines in a circular or stacked formation and use different-sized bowls or jars to add depth to your display.

Picture ledge

A picture ledge is an awesome way to showcase your Sonny Angels collection because it's simple yet elegant. Picture ledges are narrow shelves that are typically mounted on a wall and used to display framed photos or artwork. But they're also perfect for displaying your cute and charming Sonny Angels!

What's great about using a picture ledge is that it creates a clean and minimalist display, which puts the focus entirely on your collection. The narrow design of the shelf means you can line up your figurines in a neat and orderly fashion, without taking up too much wall space.

If you have a large collection, you can use multiple picture ledges to create a larger display that covers more of your wall.

Bookshelf

Last but not least, you can always use a bookshelf to display your Sonny Angels. You can mix them in with your books or create a separate section just for your collection. You can add other decorative items like candles, fairy lights, or plants to create a cozy and inviting display.
