Custom pet shirt or pet portrait?
Both put their pet front and center. Here is how to pick the one that fits the person you are shopping for.
A custom pet shirt is the better pick when you want a fun gift that gets worn and shows the person's job or hobby. A framed or canvas pet portrait is the better pick for a keepsake on the wall, especially a memorial. Pawcupation makes the shirt: the pet drawn from one photo in one of 65+ careers, from $35 with free US shipping and a free preview.
Pick a shirt when
- They love their job or a hobby, and the shirt can show both at once.
- You want something funny and personal more than formal.
- You want to see the result first: Pawcupation shows a free preview before you pay.
- Your budget is around $35 to $40 per gift.
Pick a portrait when
- It is a memorial and they want a keepsake for the wall.
- They prefer home decor to clothes.
- You want a classic painted or royal style rather than a cartoon.
Why not both?
Many people pick the shirt for everyday wear and keep a portrait at home. A memorial shirt with the pet in the job it loved to help with is also welcome.
