There's nothing more classic than the family portrait, and with the modern day accessibility of so many amazing artists via places like Etsy, there are even more unique options for you that go beyond the typical family photograph.
Jordan Grace Owens creates these amazing interactive paper dolls that you can have customized to resemble every person (or pet!) in your home. These would be a great gift idea, and what's more special than a one-of-a-kind work of art celebrating one's family? A great (and inexpensive) way to preserve and display these would be in a shadow box - you can find these at your local craft store.
