🐾 The Perfect Gift for the Pet Lover on Your List

A Holiday Guide from Fun Animal Graphics

By Kathleen Murphy — Custom Pet Portrait Artist

If you have a pet lover on your holiday list, you already know—pet people don’t just like their animals… they adore them. That’s why a custom Fun Animal Graphics portrait makes such a meaningful and unforgettable Christmas gift. Whether the recipient loves dogs, cats, birds, horses, bunnies, ferrets, or any other beloved companion, a customized portrait turns their favorite pet into a heartwarming, story-filled piece of art.

Because each portrait is thoughtfully hand-crafted, proofed, and printed to order, a little extra time is needed during the holidays. Below is your complete guide to choosing the perfect photos, understanding the ordering process, and creating an unforgettable gift-opening moment.

🎁 Why Custom Pet Portraits Make the Best Holiday Gift

A custom portrait is more than wall art—it’s a celebration of the bond we share with the animals who make life brighter. Every portrait is created from your own submitted photos and placed into one of our carefully designed backgrounds—from scenic and minimalist to whimsical or retro.
Your gift becomes something deeply personal and wonderfully unexpected.

The magic of gifting a custom portrait is seeing the recipient’s reaction—surprise, joy, and often a few happy tears.

📸 How to Choose the Best Pet Photos

The right photo makes all the difference, and it’s easier than you think. Here’s what we need for the best possible results:

✔️ 1. Full-body photos are required

Because many of our backgrounds show the pet’s entire body, please upload a photo where your pet is fully visible from head to tail.

✔️ 2. Take the photo at the pet’s eye level

Photos taken from above can distort proportions. Eye-level images produce the most natural and flattering results.

✔️ 3. Clear and well-lit

Soft daylight works best. Avoid heavy shadows or motion blur.

✔️ 4. One pet per photo (if ordering multi-pet)

Upload one clear, full-body image of each pet. This ensures consistency in lighting and posture when we create the final composition.

✔️ 5. Show their personality

If your pet has a signature pose, a quirky expression, or a regal stance—use it! Personality is part of the magic.

Note: Our system only accepts the required images for the portrait. No extra reference photos can be added, so please choose your uploads carefully.

🎄 Holiday Order Timing — When to Order for Christmas Delivery

Custom portraits involve several thoughtful steps, and we want to make sure everything is perfect for your gift. Here’s the smooth, customer-friendly overview:

How the Process Works

Artwork Creation – We design your portrait based on the full-body photos you upload.
Proof Sent to You – Once your artwork is ready, we send you a proof to review.
Your Review & Optional Changes – You can approve your proof or request small adjustments.
Final Approval → Production → Shipping – Once approved, your portrait goes to print and then ships directly to you.

This process is simple and enjoyable—but during the holidays, it’s a good idea to allow a little extra time for review and any adjustments.

⭐ Holiday Deadline for Christmas Delivery:

Please place your order by December 10th.

(This gives time for artwork creation, proof review, and printing before the December 14 production cut-off.)

Ordering by December 10 ensures:

- Your artwork can be created with care
- You'll have time to review your proof
- Any small changes can be made
- Your portrait moves into production by the Dec 14 cut-off
- Holiday shipping runs smoothly

Orders placed after Dec 10 will still be created, but Christmas delivery cannot be guaranteed.
