Gifts for couples, made from a photo of the two of them

Buying for two people at once is the hardest gift there is, because anything practical belongs to one of them. A portrait of the pair belongs to both.

A proof is emailed to you first. Nothing is charged until you approve it.

Why it solves the two-people problem

Almost every gift for a couple is really a gift for their house, or a gift for one of them that the other tolerates. A portrait of them together is the rare thing that is equally about both people and belongs to neither individually.

Where to get the photograph

You usually do not need to ask them. Couples post the photograph they like best, and that is exactly the one to use. If you want it to stay a surprise, ask a sibling or a close friend rather than a partner.

Engagements, weddings and new homes

It reads as a wedding gift, an engagement gift and a housewarming gift equally well, which is useful when you are buying for a couple whose life is moving fast.

Common questions

How is my portrait made?

Your portrait is generated with AI image tools under human artistic direction, then checked by a person for likeness before it reaches you. It is not drawn by hand by a human artist, and we do not describe it as handmade.

When do I pay?

Nothing is charged when you place your request. We make your portrait, email you a proof, and only ask for payment once you have seen it and approved it.

What do I receive?

A high-resolution digital file by email, ready to print or frame. Nothing physical is shipped, so there is no waiting on post and no delivery address to give.

What happens to my photograph?

It is stored privately while your portrait is made, and deleted once your artwork has been delivered. It is never published, shared, sold, or used to train any model.

Can I give it as a surprise?

Yes. You place the order, you approve the proof, and you give them the finished file or a print of it. They never need to be involved.

What if I only have a slightly blurry photo of them?

Send it anyway. We will tell you honestly whether it will work before you pay, and the looser styles cope with an imperfect photograph far better.

One gift, genuinely for both of them

Send a photograph of the two of them and see a proof before anything is charged.
