Colleague & boss gift questions
What is a good personalised gift for a colleague?
A mug, pair of socks, puzzle or insulated tumbler featuring their hand-drawn caricature makes the gift about a person you know. Start with a clear photo, then tell me about their expression, personality and the occasion. Mugs start at £40 and socks at £45; puzzles and tumblers at £60.
What should we get a colleague who is leaving?
For a leaving gift, a caricature mug or tumbler can travel to their next job. Socks make a playful farewell gift; a puzzle can become a keepsake from the team. For a group portrait with several colleagues, ask for a quote before ordering: each additional face costs extra.
What is a thoughtful gift for a boss or manager?
A personalised boss gift can celebrate a mentor, a promotion, a work anniversary or Boss’s Day. A caricature mug or tumbler keeps it personal and useful. Tell me about their sense of humour so the drawing feels warm and appropriate for your workplace. You approve the sketch after payment, before I finish the drawing.
Can you make a retirement gift with hobbies or a whole team?
Yes. A retirement caricature can include their favourite hobby, career or colleagues. The listed product prices cover one face without a background. A full-colour background is an optional £22 extra. Additional people and complex group scenes require a quote before you order. The seven-person puzzle shown here is a custom group example, not a £60 order.
What is included in the prices from £40 to £60?
Each base price includes one face drawn by hand from your photo, reproduced on one selected gift, and UK delivery. The £45 socks price is for one pair; the £40 mug price is for one mug. The puzzle and tumbler are £60 each. Extra faces cost more; a full-colour background adds £22. The paper original is not included with these printed gifts.
How far ahead should I order a farewell or retirement gift?
Allow approximately 7–12 days for the drawing, printing and UK delivery of the gift. If you have a fixed party date, contact me before ordering. The separate 24-hour caricature offer is delivered by email; that express timeframe does not apply to physical gifts.
How do I send photos, and will I see the drawing?
Choose your gift and upload clear photos and instructions in the order form before payment. After payment, I send a pencil sketch for approval before the final drawing and printing. For multiple faces, contact me for a quote first rather than ordering the one-face option.
Are these AI-generated caricatures?
No. I’m Sébastien Rieu, a French caricature artist with 25 years of experience. I draw in ink and watercolour on paper, then the artwork is scanned and reproduced on your chosen gift. Your drawing is made by a person, from your photographs.
