Every Easter, someone in your family is impossible to buy for.
You know the one. They’ve got their own dog. They’re obsessed with
their dog. Their entire camera roll is their dog. Their dog has a better
Instagram than you do.
If that sounds like someone you love — or honestly, if that sounds
like you — this is the gift idea you’ve been waiting for.
Why Easter Gifts for
Dog Mums Are So Hard
Here’s the problem with buying for a dog mum: they don’t want more
stuff.
Chocolate? They’ve got a dog who’ll try to eat it. Candles? They’ve
got seventeen. A voucher for a restaurant? They’d rather stay home with
the dog.
What they actually want is something that celebrates the thing they
care most about. Something personal. Something that says: I see you, and
I see how much your dog means to you.
That’s a very specific kind of gift. And most people don’t know where
to find it.
The Gift That Actually Lands
A custom dog portrait isn’t a novelty item. It’s not a mug with a
dog’s face on it (though we have nothing against a good dog mug).
A proper custom portrait is a piece of art. Something you’d hang in
the lounge room or the hallway — the place in the house where you put
things that matter.
I’ve been around dog owners my whole career. Six-plus years of
grooming, 16,000-plus appointments. I know what makes a dog owner light
up, and I know what makes them emotional in the best possible way. When
someone sees a portrait of their dog rendered in watercolour or as a
regal royal portrait — that’s not a “thanks, that’s lovely” moment.
That’s tears. That’s taking a photo to send to their mum. That’s a gift
they’ll remember.
That’s the Easter gift you want to give.
What Makes a
Custom Dog Portrait Worth Giving
Not all portraits are equal. Here’s what to look for:
Style matters. The style of portrait should match
the dog’s personality — and the recipient’s taste. A bold, dramatic dog
with a big personality suits a royal portrait (think velvet robes,
gilded frames, crown). A gentle soul, a dog who loves mornings and quiet
walks, suits watercolour — soft edges, dreamy colours, something that
feels like a memory.
Our two most popular styles are:
- Royal — the dog as a 17th-century aristocrat.
Dignified, dramatic, and impossible not to smile at. Every dog is
secretly a king or queen. This style proves it. - Watercolour — soft, painterly, beautiful. The style
most people choose for beloved older dogs, or as a memorial piece. It
captures the feeling of a dog, not just the likeness.
The photo is everything. A great portrait starts
with a great reference photo. Clear, well-lit, in focus — ideally
showing the dog’s face and eyes clearly. Most people have dozens of
perfect reference shots on their phone without realising it. The best
portraits come from a photo taken at the dog’s level, in natural light,
when they were relaxed.
Digital first, canvas if you love it. Every portrait
starts as a digital file — beautiful, high-resolution, ready to print
yourself or gift directly. For an elevated Easter gift, a canvas print
takes it from “gorgeous” to “this is going above the fireplace.” The
canvas is the premium version — and it looks like it.
Who This Is For
The dog mum who has everything. She’s got the leads,
the harnesses, the premium kibble, the matching bandana set. What she
doesn’t have is a piece of art celebrating her actual dog. Give her
that.
The partner who loves their dog more than they’ll
admit. You know the person — “it’s just a dog” until they’re
baby-talking it at 11pm. A portrait catches them off guard. In the best
way.
The family who recently lost a dog. Easter falls in
autumn in Australia — a quiet, reflective time of year. A memorial
portrait of a dog who passed is one of the most meaningful gifts you can
give a family still grieving. It says: they mattered. They’re
remembered.
The person who has been meaning to get one for
themselves. Sometimes the dog mum is you. You’ve been scrolling
portraits for six months, saving examples, telling yourself “one day.”
Easter is a good enough reason. Twenty percent off with code EASTER20 is
a better one.
How It Works (It’s
Easier Than You Think)
Getting a custom portrait for Easter takes about five minutes to
order.
- Go to get.woofspark.com.au/portraits
- Upload a photo of the dog (or a few to choose
from) - Choose a style — royal, watercolour, oil painting,
pencil sketch, and more - Add the code EASTER20 at checkout for 20% off any
digital tier - Receive the portrait digitally — ready to share,
print, or upgrade to canvas
The digital portrait arrives as a high-resolution file. From there,
you can print it at any local print shop, frame it yourself, or upgrade
to a canvas print through us.
For Easter: Order by March 30 to be confident your
portrait arrives well before Easter Sunday (April 5). Canvas prints need
a little extra time for shipping, so order those earlier.

template. Not AI-generated clip art. A portrait that looks like
your dog, styled beautifully, delivered digitally.
It’s the kind of gift that makes someone stop scrolling when you send

single day.
