Mums are famously difficult to buy for. They say they do not need anything, they already have more candles than they can use, and they would honestly be happy with a card. But Christmas is the perfect moment to give her something that shows how well you know her.
A portrait of her dog or cat
If your mum's pet is the centre of her daily life, a portrait of them is one of the most touching gifts you can give. It shows that you see what makes her happy, and it gives her something beautiful to keep.
At Haven and Whiskers, all we need is one photo. You choose the style and background, approve a preview, and the framed portrait arrives ready to wrap.
Tip: a photo from the family group chat is usually perfect, and keeps the surprise intact.

For the mum who has everything
When she truly has everything, give her something no one else can: a portrait of the companion she loves. Order early to make sure it arrives before Christmas.
