An adorable illustration of your kid drawn just for you
Just when I thought I'd run out of original gift ideas, I came across an illustrator who will draw a ridiculously cute picture of your kid along with his or her favorite possession. There's literally no kid's room that these illustrations wouldn't look good in. The talented illustrator behind Unless Someone Like You does custom kids' art prints that feature a cherubic likeness of your child along with their name. What you do is send her details like your child's name, hair color and item they love.

She uses "archival pigment print" which in layman's terms means it's acid-free, light-safe and will last over 100 years in the frame without fading. Each print is the size of a record album cover (remember those?).

As much as I'd like to give this print to a deserving mom friend, I can't help but cover it for myself. My older son is obsessed with his guitar and I can't help but think how cute it would be to have a personalized drawing of him toting around his little red axe. -Melissa

Shop for a personalized illustration at Unless Someone Like You on Etsy. From now through December 31, prints are $75, $20 off the regular price. Little kids won't know the difference if it comes after Christmas, ha.
