Gifting
The people who love them will want one too.
A Tailsworth portrait is one of the few gifts that's genuinely personal without requiring you to know someone's taste. You just need to know how much they love their animal.
You don't need to be a member to give a portrait as a gift. Upload the photo, describe what you're imagining, and we'll make it — to keep or to send.
How gifting works
Five steps from photo to gift.
- 1
You provide the photo (or ask the recipient for one — there's a way to do that without spoiling the surprise).
- 2
You describe the portrait you want: style, mood, anything specific.
- 3
Tailsworth makes the portrait.
- 4
Choose whether to download the digital file, order a printed product, or both.
- 5
Ship directly to the recipient, or to you to wrap yourself.
Gift options
Digital portrait
A high-resolution digital file delivered by email. Perfect if you want to give the portrait directly, or if the recipient will decide how they want to print or use it.
Printed product
The portrait printed on whatever they'd love most — a gallery print, a cushion, a mug. Ships directly to them or to you.
Gift card
Give them Tailsworth credit to use however they want. Works well when you don't have a photo, or want them to direct their own portrait.
Occasions
A portrait fits most occasions better than a generic gift.
A few that come up often. See the full occasions guide.
Birthday
For the person whose animal is their most enthusiastic guest at any celebration.
New pet
A portrait of them at the beginning — before they've chewed anything important.
Loss of a pet
The gift for the moment that's hardest to find words for. A portrait of how they looked, made from a photo you have.
Holiday
Something they'll actually want. Not a novelty item — something that earns a permanent spot.
Anniversary
For couples who share an animal. A portrait of the third member of the household.
No reason at all
The best kind of gift. Something that says: I know how much this relationship means to you.
When you don't have the photo
If you're ordering a gift without access to a photo of their animal, a gift card is the cleanest option — they can upload the photo themselves when they're ready. Alternatively, there's a way to request a photo without explaining why. It happens more often than you'd think, and people are usually happy to send one.
