Why a Custom Pet Portrait Makes the Perfect Gift This Christmas
If you’ve ever struggled to find a truly personal gift for a loved one, you’re not alone. We all want to give something meaningful that lasts beyond the season. That’s why more and more pet owners are turning to custom pastel pet portraits as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and even as a way of remembering a beloved companion.
As a Glasgow based pet portrait artist, I’ve seen first-hand how emotional and joyful it is when someone unwraps a hand drawn portrait of their furry best friend. The reactions range from happy tears to laughter - and that’s what makes this work so special.
The Christmas Bonus You Don’t Want to Miss
This year, I’m offering a little extra magic with my Christmas commissions. When you book a portrait in time for Christmas, you’ll also receive a free A5 print of your choice.
Think of it as a keepsake you can gift to another family member, or keep for yourself while the original goes under the tree. Each portrait is crafted in soft pastels to bring out the sparkle in your pet’s eyes and their one-of-a-kind personality.

Remembering Pets With Memorial Portraits
One of the most moving parts of my work is creating memorial pet portraits. Losing a pet is heartbreaking, but many clients find comfort in having a portrait that captures their pet’s expression forever.
I often work with families to include meaningful details, like a favourite background, a name plaque or even a small inscription. These portraits aren’t just pictures — they’re tributes that honour the bond between you and your pet.

Sharing the Joy With Friends
Here’s something I love: when clients tell me their friends spotted their portrait and immediately wanted one too. That’s why I created the referral rewards. Recommend a friend, and you’ll both receive 10% off your next commission.
It’s a simple way to share the joy of custom pet art and make it a little easier to add another furry face to your wall.
Not Sure Which Pet to Choose? Try a Gift Voucher
Sometimes it’s tricky to decide which pet to feature, or maybe you’d like to give the recipient the choice themselves. That’s where my pet portrait gift vouchers come in.
They’re flexible, easy to redeem, and they make a thoughtful surprise for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas. Best of all, they let your loved one enjoy the fun of choosing their own perfect portrait.

Why People Love Pet Portraits
Custom artwork has a magic that no store-bought gift can compete with. A portrait isn’t just a picture of a pet - it’s a celebration of the way they tilt their head when they’re curious, the wag of a tail, or the softness of a cuddle.
Every animal has a story, and my goal is to capture that story in a way that makes you smile every time you see it.
If you’d like to commission a portrait, discuss ideas for a memorial piece, or grab this year’s Christmas bonus, I’d love to hear from you.
