What's in the picture

A green elf hat with a jingle bell, and the look of someone who has wrapped every present in the house personally.

In oil the scene is painted like a serious gallery portrait: visible brushwork, one warm light and a restrained palette, and anything they wear in proper tailored cloth and metal.

Who it suits

Small dogs, kittens and pets with mischief in them. A good choice for children's presents and for a card that isn't the usual robin.

Questions

Will the hat cover their ears?

No. The hat is fitted around their own ears, whether they stand up or flop down.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

Each product has its own recommended last order date for your country. To the UK, order a greeting card by Thursday 26 November, a mug by Wednesday 9 December. Every date, for every country, is on our Christmas order dates page (fancy.pet/christmas). Order dates are recommendations, not guarantees: December posts are busy, so earlier is kinder.

Is it painted by hand?

No. It isn't painted by hand. It's painted-style: an AI image model makes it from your photo, so you see it in about a minute rather than waiting weeks for an artist. It's made to look like an oil painting, and it's printed, not painted, on whatever you order.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Add a photo and you see the finished picture in about a minute, with no account and no card. Seeing it is free, and we'll email you the full-size file free too. You only pay if you choose a print, mug, card or other product.
