Christmas Portrait Gift
One photo, one unforgettable gift under the tree
A custom AI portrait is the rare Christmas gift that's both personal and finished — no DIY scramble, no scented candles. Upload one photo of a partner, a parent, a child, or a pet, choose a style, and within minutes you have a piece of art unmistakably theirs. Digital HD downloads start at €9.99; museum-quality canvas prints start at €69.99 with free worldwide shipping.
The most common Christmas use cases we see: a Renaissance Royal portrait of the family dog for dog-obsessed parents, a Van Gogh portrait of a partner who loves art history, a Greek God portrait for the friend who lifts heavy, a family portrait in Gothic Noble style for grandparents who already own everything. The portrait works because it's about the recipient — not a stocking-filler the giver picked at the till.
Production and shipping timeline for physical prints: Gelato (our print partner) typically produces in 3–5 business days, and worldwide delivery is another 5–12 days depending on country. To guarantee delivery before December 24, order canvas or framed canvas by **mid-November** for North America/Asia/Australia, or by **late November** for Europe. Digital HD downloads have no shipping constraint — order Christmas Eve and email the file the same hour.
Wrapping ideas if you order canvas: present the boxed canvas under the tree as-is (the Gelato packaging is clean and gift-worthy), or pair a printed greeting card with a QR code that links to the HD digital while the canvas is still en route. For digital-only gifts, we recommend printing a small physical card with the preview image plus a handwritten note — the recipient holds something tactile while opening the HD link.
Pricing reference: Starter pack €9.99 (1 HD portrait, 2 watermarked previews), Creator €19.99 (3 HD, save 33%), Studio €29.99 (5 HD, save 40%).

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to order to get it by Christmas?
For canvas or framed canvas: order by mid-November (North America/Asia/Australia) or late November (Europe). Production is 3–5 days plus 5–12 days shipping. Digital HD downloads are available instantly — order December 24 and email the file the same day.
Can I include multiple subjects in one portrait?
Yes. Upload a photo with multiple people, multiple pets, or people-with-pets together. Every face and every animal is preserved in the final portrait at no extra cost.
What if they don't like the style I picked?
Generate previews first — every order includes 2 watermarked AI previews per portrait so you can confirm the style before committing. The Studio pack (€29.99) gives you 5 HD portraits and 10 previews, so you can mix several styles.
Can I gift just the digital file?
Absolutely. The HD download (4096×5120 px) is a complete gift on its own — recipients can print it themselves locally, use it as wallpaper, or display it digitally on a TV/frame. Print it later as a canvas anytime within the year.
Is the canvas truly gift-quality?
Yes. Museum-grade pigment inks, kiln-dried pine stretcher bars, hand-trimmed cotton-blend canvas. The packaging is matte black, unbranded, and gift-presentable as-is.
Can I get a refund if it arrives damaged?
Yes. EU 14-day right of withdrawal applies on all orders. Damaged or defective prints get a free replacement or full refund within 14 days of delivery — see our refund policy for details.
