For what occasion do you give a family illustration as a gift?
A family portrait drawing or personalized family poster is popular as a gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, births, housewarmings, or Christmas. But also as a photo-to-drawing gift without a specific occasion: something lasting for the wall that touches the whole family. A drawn family poster also works wonderfully as a wedding gift or wedding illustration for the newlywed couple.
