Unique Birthday Gift Ideas & More

Earlier in the year I wrote about the terrific caricature (left) my mate Leanne received from her partner Steve.

The brilliant Spratti – Phil Spratt, one of the best caricaturists around – comes up with these unique birthday gift ideas that really hit the mark.

A few weeks back I was trying to think of a gift for a good friend of mine who was turning 40. A call to Phil, photos emailed and on Friday morning I was picking up the best unique birthday present I’d ever given.

Phil not only does these wonderful caricatures, but he also adds in elements that the person is interested in – my mate Dave (right) loves his camping, his beer (Crown Lager) and has a crane business.

But Not Just Unique Birthday Gifts

But Phil doesn’t just provide these great birthday gifts. He’s smarter than that.

You see, Phil understands that a big part of his business is word of mouth and getting his name out there.

To this end, Phil includes in with the caricature a couple of fridge magnets (below left), business cards (below middle) and a “Thank You letter” (below right), which even has some ideas on how best to frame the work.

And then Phil follows up with an email to say he hopes my friend likes the gift.

Simple stuff all that. And very effective at getting Phil’s stuff out there, noticed and commented on.

He makes it as easy as possible to stay top of mind (if you click on the caricatures above you’ll notice Phil signs them and then has a link over to his web site. He’s smart that Phil!).

But all of the above wouldn’t be great without being backed up by a terrific product – and Phil more than delivers on that. It was without question the best birthday gift I have given.

Check out Phil’s work if your looking for a special birthday, retirement, corporate gift or for any other special occasion.

Cheers
