Why You Should Go the Extra Mile to Give a Special Gift on Valentine’s Day

It is always worth it to take every possible opportunity to share love with your significant other. Your love for your person is truly worth celebrating, and Valentine’s Day is one specific day of the year when you have a free pass to go above and beyond and be a bit extravagant. 

Even if you and your significant other do not normally go all-out to celebrate Valentine’s Day, now is the perfect time to start. You don’t need to overdo the commercial side of things, showering your person with candy, flowers, and other generically romantic gifts. Instead, you can do something incredibly personal and meaningful that your significant other will never forget!

While candy, flowers, and other traditional Valentine’s Day gifts can be great, it’s always a good idea to get a little creative with your gift-giving, especially for the most important person in your life. When you are giving a Valentine’s gift, think about the deep, abiding love that is the driving force behind your relationship. Let that love serve as your inspiration for giving an unforgettable gift!

How Paint Your Life Can Help You Make This Valentine’s Day The Best One Yet

At Paint Your Life, we believe that love is a big, big deal. Any chance to celebrate it is one worth taking. So, how do we propose that you celebrate the love that you share with your significant other this Valentine’s Day? By giving them a beautiful, personalized work of art!

Making your memories into masterpieces is our specialty at Paint Your Life. Working with a team of master artists who are proficient in many mediums, we can take any photo of you and your favorite person and turn it into a beautiful work of art. It all starts with choosing a picture that perfectly represents the love you share with your significant other.

When you want to give the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, keeping things personal is the way to go. There’s no better way to do this than by giving a gift based on a special memory that you have shared with your person. If you have a favorite photo of you and your boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, or spouse, one of our gifted artists can turn it into a masterpiece in a variety of mediums. 

Getting Started With Creating Your Gift

Paint Your Life offers personalized artwork in acrylic, watercolor, or oil paint, or as a drawing in pencil, color pencil, charcoal, or pastel. Each of these mediums has its own unique look, and there is no right or wrong one to choose! 

When it is time to decide on the medium for your personalized piece of art, the best way to figure out which one is right for you is to head over to Paint Your Life’s online gallery and take a look around. We keep our gallery full of paintings and drawings of a wide variety of subjects so that you can get a sense of what our beautiful artwork looks like. That way, you can decide what looks best to you based on a wide array of examples. 

Once you have found a medium that looks best to you, it’s time to choose a photo that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of your relationship. For some helpful tips on choosing your perfect reference photo, keep reading!

Choosing A Perfect Picture

When it comes to choosing a photo that perfectly represents your relationship, no one can do it better than you. You know better than anyone all of the quirks, inside jokes, idiosyncrasies, and one-of-a-kind memories that make your relationship so special. When you want to pick a perfect photo to turn into artwork, the best place to start is by thinking long and hard about the defining characteristics of your person and the words you would use to describe your relationship. Then, you’re off to a great start!

Depending on how long you have been with your person, you may have a longer or shorter photographic history of your relationship. If you have been married for decades, you might even have albums full of family photos, as well as your wedding pictures from years back. The longer you have been together with your significant other, the more photos you will have to choose from!

For someone who has been married a long, long time, looking through decades worth of precious memories can be an emotional experience. You might find yourself shedding more than a few tears of joy as you look back on everything you have been through with your spouse and the rest of your family. Although you may want to keep your gift-giving a secret from your significant other, looking through old photos with them can make for a perfect romantic Valentine’s date night.

If you have been in a relationship for a bit less time, you are still more than qualified to give a meaningful Valentine’s Day gift! Every relationship is valuable, regardless of how long or short. If you have only been dating or married in the age of smartphones, you may have a long string of memories with your significant other in your phone’s camera roll. Any of these photos can serve as the perfect reference point for a beautiful work of art. Take some time to take a look through your camera roll, and you are bound to find some great memories that are ready to be turned into masterpieces! You may also find yourself getting a bit emotional, of course, and that’s more than alright. Love is a beautiful thing!

Ordering Your Gift

Once you have selected your reference picture and medium of artwork, there are just a few more customizations to make before your gift is ready to order. Thankfully, the process of ordering a piece of art from Paint Your Life is quick, simple, and easy! 

After you have a reference photo and medium chosen, your next task is to determine the dimensions for your artwork. Depending on your budget, your piece of art from Paint Your Life can range from as small as 8”x12” to as big as 48”x72”. A painting or drawing can be beautiful in any size, and you can count on any of Paint Your Life’s artists to do an excellent job working in whatever size you choose.

If you want, you can also add a frame to your order. Framing your artwork can give it a distinctly tasteful look and make it 100% ready to go on the wall. Displaying framed artwork can level up your home décor, and giving the gift of artwork in a frame makes your present’s presentation even better than without one.

Time To Give The Gift To Your Person!

When Valentine’s Day finally rolls around, you’ll be ready to go with an incredibly meaningful gift to give. Take the time to go the extra mile and wrap your artwork from Paint Your Life before giving it, if possible. Wrapping gifts shows that you put in the maximum possible effort to make the recipient feel special. 

In addition to wrapping your personalized artwork, writing a meaningful, handwritten note can take things to the next level. Kind and loving words go a long way every day of the year, and they can be especially meaningful on Valentine’s Day. Use your card as an opportunity to remind your person how much they matter to you – it will make your gift of artwork even more meaningful!

Make this Valentine’s Day the best one yet by going all-out to give a unique, meaningful gift to the person you love most! With Paint Your Life, you can turn one of your favorite memories into a true masterpiece that is worthy of proudly displaying on the wall. There’s no better gift to give to someone you love than something that celebrates all the memories you’ve made together and the stories that make your relationship so special.
