Of course I’m christmas gifts for mom christmas gifts for mom biased when it comes to gift ideas. I think everyone should consider commissioning a custom watercolor for lots of occasions. But an anniversary is one of the best! I’ve been doing commissioned watercolored portraits for over 20 years, and have done many for anniversary gifts.
Here’s ten great reasons people have hired me to create a watercolor for an anniversary gift:
1: It’s Personalized
A custom watercolor portrait is a thoughtful , personalized gift to give. It’s hand-painted to your order and specifications. A couple will know you put some thought into gift-giving.

2: They Have Everything!
We all know that one couple that is settled, perhaps married for a long time and doesn’t need another vase or appliance. This is a gift that will be original and will be hung with pride in their home!

6: They Recently Downsized
Due to health needs or retirement, many older couples move from the home where they raised their family, But the memories there will always be cherished. A watercolor home portrait of their family home will bring back those wonderful memories.
