It's December, the list is long, and the calendar is short. Good news: a custom portrait is still one of the most personal gifts you can give, even if you're cutting it close.
Know your deadlines
Custom portraits are made by hand from your photo, so they need a little time. Check our shipping page for this year's last order dates, and order as early as you can for the best chance of delivery before Christmas.
Speed up your order
- Have your photo ready. A clear, well-lit photo with faces in view means less back-and-forth.
- Pick your style fast. Not sure? Classic painted and cartoon styles are always a safe bet.
- Double-check your address at checkout to avoid delays.
Too late for shipping? Give the reveal instead
If the portrait won't arrive by Christmas morning, print a photo of the design proof or a handwritten card saying "Your portrait is on its way." The surprise lasts twice as long: once on Christmas, and again when it arrives.
Great last-minute picks
- Pet portraits for the animal lover who has everything.
- Couple portraits for your partner.
- Family portraits for parents and grandparents.
Don't settle for a generic gift
A gift card says "I ran out of time." A portrait says "I thought about you." Choose a photo, pick a style, and order today.
