Mom and Child

Looking for a marvelous, magnificent, last-minute Mother’s Day Gift for Mom? Are you looking for a gift that conveys your thoughtfulness? Have no fear — Leading Edge Gifts is here! We have a number of thoughtful, meaningful and quick Mother’s Day gifts to celebrate the Mom in your life (and the Mom-to-be).

#1 — Give her the gift of ownership in her favorite company. Starbucks, Tiffany, Coach, Target, Costco, Hershey — to name just a few, can all be hers. Choose 2-part delivery and your order will ship out within 2 business days. You can also print a gift note online to let her know the gift is on its way. www.GiveAshare.com

#2 — Is Mom a Facebook Fiend? A Pinner on Pintrest? Do you often find her on Message Boards or Tweeting? We have the perfect gift for her — a Caricatured Icon! At the time I’m writing this post, our artist has spots open to get your icon to you by May 10th (Rush) or May 11th (Normal timing). You will receive a link to your digital artwork and you’ll be on your way. Think outside the box and have the baby or family pet caricatured for her to use as her icon. www.myfaceicons.com

#3 — As a Mom myself, some of the best gifts I have been given are the ones incorporating pictures of my children (they grow up SO fast!) – give her a heart-warming gift — a masterpiece of her favorite photo! Give her a gift certificate and let her choose her favorite photo to be converted to a beautiful piece of art. www.GiveAmasterpiece.com

#4 — Give the gift of a MOM BLOG. Mom blogs are all the rage. Recently there was a Mom blogger who published a book based off of her blog. Whether it is sharing the experience of a new baby, the challenges of Motherhood, or simply finding a constructive way to express herself, let her blog away and give her the gift of a URL. Act quick, at the time of this post, www.momwhoblogs.com was still available! www.GiveAurl.com

#5 — Moms love whimsical gifts. Why not a family portrait — but in Caricature style? Can’t seem to get everyone together to pose for a portrait? No problem! Let our artist put everyone together for you. He just needs a a picture of each family member’s face and with a little direction he will do the rest. Give mom a Gift Certificate for a caricature and let her enjoy a family portrait like she’s never seen and will treasure for many years to come. www.GiveAcaricature.com

Spring is here and the golfers are back on the green!  Custom caricature make perfect birthday gifts for golfers!

Background: Golf course.

Scene Description: I’d like to show Dave golfing and daydreaming about going on a cruise with his three granddaughters, the older two are in the attached phot and the third can be a generic girl baby.  Dave is also a U of O Duck fan so any fan paraphenalia scattered around would be welcome. He’s retiring and his main interests are traveling, his granddaughters, golf and U of O sports.

"Buck"

Buck’s family shared with us that he is a a beloved older dog and they wanted a way to always remember him. They sent us his photo and chose the Oil Brushstrokes style.

Dog owners aren’t the only ones who create artwork of their pets — Look at this great Watercolor of another family’s cat:

Cat Watercolor

The family let us know that they were looking for the artwork to show the cat’s softness. Per their testimonial:  “Mission Accomplished!” Pet portraits are a wonderful way to memorialize both your pet’s personality and spirit. They also make unique, personalized, and thoughtful gifts for graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Birthdays!

This customer wasn’t going to wait another day for the much ballyhooed Zombie Apocalypse,  so she had our artists draw her and her friend’s right in the middle of a Zombie attack!

Our fully custom caricatures make the perfect gift for horror, sci-fi, and comic book fans!

Background:

In a city that looks run down – a zombie apocalypse

Scene Description:

The two women ( Maria Heather ) and the guy ( isaac) are on top of a car with guns and machetes fighting off zombies. Women are wearing skirts and knee high heels. Would really like for the picutre to show that the trio is triumphant in the war against zombies but still fighting them off.

Shelby Mustang CARtoon

Today Carroll Shelby unveiled their 950-hp street-legal Mustang at the New York International Auto Show to mark the 50th Anniversary of Shelby American — now that’s a car with some pop! We’re fans of Carroll Shelby here, too. At GiveAshare we offer true one-share ownership of Carroll-Shelby stock. At GiveAmasterpiece we have been doing car caricatures of Mustangs of Shelby fanatics.

Need a gift for a Mustang Enthusiast? Father’s Day on your mind? Graduation gift for a car lover? Check out our websites for some awesome gift ideas!

Icons are available and MyFaceIcons.com and GiveAcaricature.com

Background: Forida-esque (it was the last vacation they took together and it holds wonderful memories).

Scene Description: Please have the man holding the baby somehow.  Please show him sitting but don’t showcase a wheelchair.  Please don’t showcase his missing legs.  Please don’t showcase his missing fingers.  Please have the three guys in some kind of Hawaiian shirts.  Please give the baby a baby bottle with the base of a Diet Mountain Dew can (his favorite drink).  Also if there’s a way to incorporate Devil Dogs (his favorite food).

Not just any signature will do. People need to look at it for it to be effective. That’s where our  www.MyFaceIcons.com site comes in.   Our talented artists draw custom cartoon icons from a photo that can be used for email signatures, social media icons, business stationary, websites, marketing collateral, business cards …

Did you know that cartoons are 8X more likely to get noticed and 17X more likely to be remembered than photos? This applies whether it is an email signature, business card, or any piece of marketing collateral.

In addition to reaching our 10,000 order mark in our www.GiveAcaricature.com business, we’ve moved from Portland, OR to Gilbert, AZ (in the Phoenix area).

We’re still going thru the upheaval of the move and hope to have things settled soon – but no worries, we’re able to satisfy orders just as efficiently as we did before!  We’re just holding off on things like facebook page updates and blog posts.  And getting used to the 100+ degree heat

We’ll be back to updating our pages and posting our caricatures & masterpieces of the month very soon!  Stay tuned…

Background: Picnic in a park, sitting on a blanket with a wicker picnic basket and a lake behind them with ducks swimming. There are ducks near the blanket looking for food.
Person Specific: The man wearing an aikido uniform with iphone in one hand showing a basketball game. The woman wearing traditional Pakistani clothing (as seen in picture) holding a travel brochure.


How cute – I love the colors in this one!!! A caricature makes a great “Paper” Anniversary Gift!
