These days many couples live together, so more than likely, they have all the household bits and pieces that they need like appliances and linens. Besides the fact that a gift idea that comes from the kitchen department of any Sydney department store is probably already in their household, it’s mundane. Why not look into a Christmas gift idea that will be proudly displayed and treasured such as couple portraits.

If the couple lives far away, you might feel that the best gift idea would be money. Of course everyone likes to receive money, but you can give a more personal gift of a hand painted portrait and have it sent right to their door.

Just think back about when you were starting a new household with your significant other.  If the household was combined from two previous homes you probably had 2 of almost everything; 2 coffee pots, 2 toasters, etc. Then when Christmas rolled around, you probably got more of these terrific gifts that you had to lug back to the store to exchange. The gift idea of couple portraits won’t fall into the category of ‘to be returned’.

A thoughtful Christmas gift of having a couple’s portrait hand painted from a photo of the two of them is a gift idea that won’t be easily topped. This unique gift idea doesn’t have to be just for new couples either. What couple wouldn’t prefer showing off their hand painted Christmas gift from you instead of the toaster oven that Auntie Nell sent.

Choosing gifts for couples can be complicated; pleasing both people is…a exercise in lateral thinking. One solution is to present the couple with a gift certificate and let them choose the portrait or painting they prefer. That way they can talk about it and make their own minds up at leisure.

Our most popular gift to couples is often the wedding photo painted into a portrait. A friend may send in the photo, we will give them a quote and then start.
