creative gift ideas for husband

50th Birthday Present for husband

“Hi I’d like to arrange a 50th gift for my husband. I’m thinking I’d like a framed picture. And I’ve seen a large picture before with a few pictures caricatured - would this be something you could do or is it more a pic of a moment like your website examples? Thanks! Aisling”


A montage of scenes? Yes I can certainly do that.

Birthday Gift for Partner

Email From Customer:

“I would like to order a glossy A3 print for my partner as a birthday gift. He is Superdad and family man with 2 crazy boys. I would like to have Terry with the boys in the picture. His biggest passion is travelling. He likes to surprise us with unexpected trips. Furthermore he likes to go on hikes in mountains and as a family we often go to the beach. He likes to watch old (Western) movies. He works as an engineer.


I would like a caricature of Terry with the lads. Maybe as an old movie style cowboy on the beach with the boys somewhere? 
I have not a creative mind at all but I hope I gave you enough information to think of something”

Present For Husband (Celebrating a work milestone)

Email From Customer

“Hi Brendan. My husband Paul works as a agent for Irish Pride & Barrons Bakery - in the past he’s also worked for Lenihans Bakery - I have a few photos of his vans with labels on them and one of Barrons Bakery & the man himself -hopefully these will help. its 25 years that Paul will have been working as a breadman. This is to celebrate that milestone”

[To do the background I googled “Barrons Bakery” and got a Google Streetview angle where the side of the shop was visible, with the sign painted on the side. So I did the Irish Pride van parked on the path, with Barrons in view behind]

Finished Cartoon:

“Brendan, a million thank you's for the fantastic caricature. Paul was amazed & lost for words when he saw it - it is taking pride of place in our kitchen. Thank you again” - Liesl
