Among the amazing gifts the Blizzard staff receive on their 5, 10 or 20 year anniversary, all employees get a yearly holiday gift! Last year’s gift was a statue of a Treasure Goblin from Diablo III, which was sculpted by Blizzard’s own Brian Fay. This year’s Holiday 2013 Gift is a life size replica of a hearthstone in commemoration of the Hearthstone beta launch.

Nick Carpenter just tweeted out the new employee gift to show it off to the world:

Word on the street is that the blue area within the Hearthstone also lights up so it’s probably battery powered as well.

These are not available for public consumption, however, gifts like these in the past have ended up on eBay from time to time so if this is something you are wanting I would recommend keeping an eye out for it in the next year as it’s sure to become a collector’s item.
