Personalized Cartoon Gifts with Look-Alike Characters

Character Gift Ideas

• Families. A cartoon family ornament puts parents, kids and pets together on the tree, dated with the year.
• Couples and friends. Custom cartoon mugs show two best friends, a couple on the couch or a movie-night duo, often with a funny line underneath.
• Cozy nights in. Custom cartoon blankets turn your characters into a throw for the couch: couples, dog owners, whole families.
• Everyday wear. Character shirts and sweaters let grandparents, moms and dads wear the grandkids or kids on their chest.

How to Make the Characters Look Like Them

• Start with hair. Hairstyle and hair color are what people recognize first, so match those before anything else.
• Pick the outfit they'd actually wear. When a design offers outfits, choose the one that feels most like them, not the fanciest.
• Add the small tells. Glasses, a beard, a favorite pet sitting at their feet: these make everyone laugh in recognition.
• Keep names short. First names or nicknames fit under each character better than full names.
