Hey Guys,

Today, I want to tell you about the awesome experience I had recently with a company that creates quality personalised caricatures but before I do, here’s the background story.
A couple of my good friends, Kevin and Laura got married a few weeks ago and during the run-up to their big day, I was racking my brains and scouring the Internet for a unique Wedding gift for them.
The three of us share a similar sense of humour and over the years it has become a bit of a tradition to get each other unique and somewhat unconventional birthday and Xmas gifts.
And because this was a very special occasion, I wanted to get them something that was ultra unique and also very personal to them both.
A week before the Wedding, I was starting to panic because I hadn’t found the perfect gift I was looking for – and I began to get worried that I’d have to make do with a 2nd-rate gift that wasn’t as unique and personal as I wanted.
That’s when, entirely by accident, I came across Bill & Ben: The Cartoon Men. To be honest, I can’t remember exactly how I found them but after a quick scan of their website I knew that I’d found what I’d been looking for.
They create the caricatures from photos that you upload during the order process – ensure that you send them quality photos showing the subject’s head and shoulders so the caricature artist can achieve a good likeness.
The website stated that it would take around 5 days before my order was dispatched and because as I only had 9 days (including a weekend)Â until the Wedding, I was worried that I wouldn’t receive it in time.
Fortunately, my fears were put to rest after I gave them and a call. I spoke to a lovely gentleman who promised me they would rush my order through and send it by Royal Mail First Class as soon as it was ready.
I received the caricature of my two pals in just 5 days (actually 4 full days as I ordered quite late in the day) and knew as soon as I saw the finished A3 picture in it’s shiny silver frame that I’d made a great decision.
And this was confirmed when Kev and Loz opened their gift – they absolutely loved it 
So, if you haven’t guessed already, I highly recommend Bill and Ben’s personalised caricature creation service.

I’d like tosecond your recommendation. I’ve used Bill & Ben a few times (for some staff photos) and was very pleased with both the finished results and the service received.

The hand-made caricatures are an excellent idea for humorous gift.

That’s a very informative contribution and perfect matching just in time for me. I’ve already found Bill and Ben’s personalised caricature creation service useful as you said. I appreciate them because they solved my gift problem for my father birthday. Thanks and keep up the nice work.

I really like to have my own caricatures. They really look cute and beautiful. I know that it would be a great gift for my friends birthday also.
