With Valentine's Day just around the corner you are probably scratching your head over what gift to give the special person in your life.
This year skip the tired clichés -flowers that wilt in 48 hours and chocolates that disappear even faster! Instead why not give the gift of animal artwork!
Whether your special someone is obsessed with their cat or has a thing for giraffes, a carefully chosen piece of animal artwork can be a personal, heart-stealing, and lasting gift.
Here’s how to choose the perfect animal art that says, “I love you” in style.
Why Animal Art is a Gift-Win
Animal artwork isn’t just a pretty picture on the wall, it’s a reminder of what we love. For animal lovers, it’s about celebrating the energy and beauty of their furry, feathered, or scaly favourites.
Bonus? These pieces of animal art are super versatile. A colourful pet portrait brightens up any interior space, from living rooms to bedrooms and even home offices, they stand out like no other. It’s the kind of wall art that makes people smile.
Things to Think About For the Perfect Animal Art Pick
1. Find Their Spirit Animal
Does your partner have a special love for golden retrievers or bedazzled peacocks? Start with their most favourite creature, or, if they’re pet parents, commission a pet portrait of their beloved fur baby to make it really special.
2. Pick the Right Style
Not all animal artwork is created equal. Some people love minimalist line drawings, while others get more excited by bold, colourful splashes of paint. Ask yourself, “Does my significant other love modern aesthetics or something closer to life-like representation?” Choosing the right style will mean that your gift fits seamlessly into their personal taste and home decor style.
3. Know Your Space
Where’s this piece of wall art going to live? A large leopard painting in a small studio might feel overwhelming, while a small, detailed fox animal artwork piece could be swallowed up on a massive wall. Find out if they have a prime spot in their home for the new treasure and pick appropriately-sized animal wall art.
Add a Personal Touch
Want to go the extra mile? Choose a custom pet portrait of your partner’s dog, cat, or guinea pig. You’ll win Valentine’s AND pet parent of the year! Personal commissions scream, “I thought about this gift just for you.”
Not Just a Gift: It’s a Statement
By choosing animal artwork as your Valentine’s Day gift, you’re saying more than “I love you.” You’re acknowledging your partner’s passions and their own unique personality. Plus, this super special gift will outlast bouquets and sugar rushes, and they’ll think of you every time they look at their animal artwork piece.
