Keeping the element of surprise is often difficult regarding gifts.
I have a suggestion today. You might have been thinking of having a portrait of your better half painted for Valentine’s Day or a Birthday.
Well, I discovered French digital painter and illustrator Cali Rezo. All you have to do is send her a few photos of the subject of the portrait. She then gets to work on her digital canvas and produces these amazing paintings, no sitting sessions involved.
Once her work is finished, she will send you a digital file that you can use to print yourself or let a printing shop do it for you. 
Check her details on how to order portraits.
Her work is not limited to portraits. She also illustrated books and magazines and worked on advertising campaigns.
Cali Rezo also sings for pleasure and designs her own covers as the ‘Forever‘ which I chose to illustrate this piece.
So surprise someone with a work of art, a one of a kind.

I like the portrait idea but maybe a little techie for me. My husband would never think of something like that unless I asked for it. Last year he surprised me with a personalized romance novel from http://www.yournovel.com. I don’t think he actually found that idea online though; I’m sure he saw an ad somewhere. No matter…I was still really impressed. Perhaps I’ll leave up the portrait website for him to “stumble upon.” Thanks!
