IDEA #1

Wanna surprise your special person – a relative, a friend, a colleague – with a custom gift wrapping paper with their faces on it?

Michelle was very happy about the paper! I feel like it almost withdrew her attention from the gift itself! She said that Carlo really captured her features.”

How does it work?

After you send me over their pics (and maybe yours too), you can write down some other things that you would like to be in the pattern of a gift wrapping paper. I usually work with 4 “scenes”, for examples the initials of your names, the faces, something else that is dear to them or that characterizes them (like the pic of their pet) and/or seasonal decorations (like Valentine’s Day decor such as flowers, hearts, chocolate bars…).

We also agree on colors.

What then?

After we agree on the timing, I send over a sketch. When you agree on it, I follow with the production. I typically send over an A4 or A3 PNG file for you to print in your local copy store. We can also agree upon you getting delivered the paper home with a special Internet service. If this suits you better, write me for more details.

How many sheets do I need to print?

The custom gift wrapping paper can be used in different ways: as an inner folder to an envelope, to cover a book or something more voluminous. My advise is to print an A3 for a book of average dimensions, while 3 A3 sheets will be enough to cover a shape similar to a shoe box.  

How much does it cost?

The offer for Valentine’s Day 2022 is € 25 or USD 30 (VAT included).

IDEA #2

What about a comic story with your loved ones stylized as comic figures? Write me some facts and anecdotes about them, some funny details, an inner joke between you two…

My husband declared the custom comic story for our anniversay the best gift of the year!

What then?

After we agree on the timing, I send over a sketched story board. I then send the story digitally or we can also agree upon me handwriting it to send over.

How much does it cost?

This is a special service that needs time and dedication and is therefore slightly more expensive. Drop me a line at [email protected] or fill in the form within this page and we’ll take it from there.
