This is a little known phenomenon, but predominantly, anniversaries come up in the winter months. Maybe it’s the Christmas spirit, or maybe it’s the feeling of a new start at the New Year, but whatever it is, make sure you have got your spouse the perfect gift! Anniversary gifts can be high end, and often expensive. But when you think about it, what says ‘I love you’ more, some expensive piece of welded metal, or a hilarious, personal cartoon caricature?!
Well obviously here at Charlie’s Cartoons, we believe it is our drawings. As all of our drawings are done by photographs, you can be sure to fully capture the traits of your spouse. You can decide to personalise your cartoon caricature any which way you want. Whether you are more of a romantic soul, and looking for a caricature from photos with a meaningful sentiment to it, or more of a joker, we have the perfect solutions for you.
We really can tailor your caricature from a photo however you want it. We can incorporate iconic places, or even your pets! The process for this could also not be made simpler. All you need to do is contact our professional team, and send a few photographs through. Once we are happy with the photographs, you get to specify exactly what you want the cartoon caricature to look like – what you want included, and what you don’t want included. With different sizes available, we are sure to fully customise your cartoon caricature however you want it.

A question that many of us ask ourselves, what on Earth should I get my partner for our anniversary? We can always go for the standard gifts – chocolates, wine, flowers, but none of these things really have any meaning. If you are looking for a special and personal gift, one of our cartoon caricatures is perfect for you. Our caricatures are tailored specially to you, and we can incorporate any unique memories or traits that you wish. So whether you are a keen golfer, or love your garden, our caricatures are completely centred on what you require.
As all of our caricature cartoons are individual, you can be sure of receiving a completely individual gift. Drawn by only professionals, these caricatures are great framed and hung on the wall. With different sizes available, these unique gifts can be made completely to your specification.
With that extra dollop of humour incorporated into every cartoon caricature, these gifts are sure to make you smile every time you look at them. Our caricatures from photos are also very realistic and picturesque, giving that extra bit of personality to each and every one. Our process to making these great caricatures from photos is extremely simple. All you need to do is get in contact with our team and send some photos across. Two or three photos will normally be enough, but occasionally we may ask for more. Photos are easiest to portray when they are portrait photos, so any portrait photograph of your partner will be fine.

Looking for a fun anniversary gift for your spouse? How about an anniversary caricature from a photo?
Here at Charlie’s Cartoons, we make high quality, humorous caricatures from photos. They make fun and highly personalized gifts for anniversary gifts. It’s a great way to spark memories and share a smile with the one you love.
All you need to do to get started with your own custom caricature from photos is visit the Order Your Cartoon page. Fill in your details, and send us a couple of photos of the person you want us to draw.
You can also tell us a little bit about them. This is a great place to mention hobbies, favourite foods, what they do for a living, or how many grandchildren they have. It’s a way for us to get a sense of your spouse’s personality so that we can incorporate some of those traits into our drawing.
Once you have sent us the information, we’ll get back to you as quickly as we can with our own ideas—within 24 hours. After that you can tell us if there are changes you want us to make to the concept, and then it’s time for us to get started on your caricatures from photos.
Once we’re done we’ll send you an invoice and a scan of the finished drawing. Pay for your artwork, and then we’ll post it to you framed to your specification. Looking for prices? An A4 drawing starts at £90. For more price information, get in touch.

The point I made about anniversaries being about looking back in order to contemplate the value created by being together – through experiences, kids, the lot – brings me to my next point: if looking back is what these occasions are for, why not get anniversary gifts which precisely serve this purpose?
Rather than being the expensive cherries on the cake, booze and three course meal, your anniversary gifts could be retrospective summaries of a relationship. This is what Charlie’s Cartoons are.
So what else might you get as anniversary gifts? A pet, perhaps? Hmm, tough to make that one a surprise… Such an important anniversary gifts decision is bound to be preceded by long chats about what animals you like, how much time you can both commit, what you’re allergic to and so on. It would be a pretty gutsy move to turn up with a puppy in a box.
But then most anniversary gifts: a tie, a watch, etc etc, are so bland that you almost feel that you have to “spend your way out of the problem” – i.e. if I spend £300 on my anniversary gifts, then they’re bound to be appreciated. It’s a simple case of economics: cost to me, benefit to you.
Might seem a bit cynical, but if we’re honest, most anniversary gifts are viewed in the perspective of some sort of transaction. This is an event where presents will be given both ways. Unlike birthdays where it’s about an individual, or Christmas where it’s about a group, this is about a two-person exchange.
Differences in how much each person invests in their anniversary gifts will be glaringly obvious. The only thing that can blur the edges of this cynical perspective is getting personal with your anniversary gifts. Making them personalised.

Are you looking for a great anniversary gift? Whether the couple you have in mind has been married five years or fifty, wedding caricatures make the perfect gift for celebrating their anniversary.
Caricatures make a great gift for a wedding anniversary because they bring back memories of the couple’s special day, and will probably even make them laugh. Cartoon caricatures are also a great gift because it’s more than likely that no one else will give them the same thing.
Look through some of their wedding photos to get ideas. Who are the key “characters” who should be included in the drawing? Friends? Children? Group caricatures are just as much fun as a cartoon of the bridal couple alone.
Wedding caricatures can include anyone you want from the flower girl and bridesmaids to the parents of the bride. Just be sure to indicate who you want in the drawing when you send us your photos and ideas.
Once you’ve decided on some photos, send them to us along with some thoughts and memories about the couple. You may want to include things like: how long they have been married, their wedding colours and theme, their hobbies and occupations, where they spent their honeymoon, etc.
When we’ve put your ideas together with our own, we’ll let you know what we have in mind. If you like what we describe, then we’ll get started creating the caricature from photos and the other info you’ve given us. And you’ll be well on your way to the perfect anniversary gift, and certainly one that won’t soon be forgotten. Who knows—it might even become a treasured family heirloom some day.
