A gift idea for dog owners and cat lovers: a pet portrait in the style of the old masters
For many people, their dog or cat is a full member of the family. That makes it all the harder to find a gift for dog owners and cat lovers that feels truly personal – and doesn't end up in a drawer after a week. A pet portrait in the style of the old masters does both: it shows their own pet, it's a real eye-catcher on the wall, and it often raises a big smile when it's unwrapped.
Why a pet portrait makes a special gift
- It's truly personal. Every portrait is made from a photo of that very pet – nothing off the shelf.
- It lasts. Printed as an art poster or on canvas, it hangs on the wall for years – a keepsake, including of pets who are no longer with us.
- It suits any age. For your parents, your best friend or the colleague with the dachshund: a tongue-in-cheek portrait as a king or a general is rarely the wrong choice.
The Christmas collection
For the festive season we designed four costumes with a wintry mood:
- The Nutcracker – red uniform, gold epaulettes and a tall shako in front of the Christmas tree.
- The Christmas King – a crown with a sprig of holly, an ermine robe and candlelight.
- The Winter Queen – a tiara, a blue velvet cloak and snow falling outside the window.
- Father Christmas – a red coat with white fur, a crackling fireplace and a sack of presents.
Prefer something timeless? The classic costumes King, Queen, General and Admiral work all year round.

How it works
- Choose a costume – from the Christmas collection or the classics.
- Upload a photo – and see a free AI preview straight away (up to three previews per visitor).
- Approve – after you order, we check the finished portrait by hand and email it to you for approval within 24 hours. If you don't like it, we make a new version for free, up to twice. If you're still not happy, we refund the full price.
- Print and delivery – nothing is printed until you approve it.
Order in time for Christmas
Prints usually arrive 5–12 working days after your approval. Allow a little extra time for approval and any changes, and order as early as you can for Christmas – we can't guarantee delivery before Christmas. The digital portrait needs no shipping: the files arrive by email right after your approval.
Tip: a surprise without giving it away
Want to surprise someone but don't have a good photo of their pet? Discreetly ask family or friends for one. Only use photos you're allowed to use, and if in doubt, ask the person who took it. The pet's face should be sharp and clearly visible. Read exactly what makes a good photo in our article The right photo for your pet portrait: 7 tips.
