Personalized phone cases for the family

Ideas for every family member, a birth-month flower chart, and how to order several custom cases at once.

Family gifts are hard because the people closest to you usually have everything. A personalized phone case gets around that: it’s practical, it’s replaced every year or two anyway, and it can carry something that only your family would recognize. Here are ideas for each family member, a birth-flower chart for multi-grandchild designs, and tips for ordering several cases at once.

For Mom

• Her garden, painted — whatever she grows, as a vintage botanical print.
• The kids as storybook art — restyled from a favorite photo, in soft watercolor.
• Birth-month flowers — one flower for each child, gathered into a single bouquet.
• Her favorite place — the beach town or lake, as a travel poster.

For Dad

• The truck, boat or motorcycle — drawn as a clean vintage illustration.
• His team colors — an original design in those colors (no team logos — they’re trademarks).
• The fishing spot or trail — as minimal line art or a bold poster.
• The dog — a classic oil-painting pet portrait.

For grandparents

Grandparents tend to love two things above all: the grandkids and the places the family has shared. A bouquet of the grandchildren’s birth-month flowers is a quiet way to include everyone without a crowded photo. A Tough case ($34.99) is worth considering here — it is a sturdier dual-layer case.

Ask the studio for “a bouquet of daisies, roses and marigolds” and it will paint them together. If you want names too, keep it to initials in quotes so the lettering stays legible.

For siblings

• The childhood house — as a warm storybook illustration.
• A running family joke — illustrated in bold sticker style.
• Matching sibling cases — the same scene, each in their own colors.

For kids and teens

Let them choose the idea and you handle the ordering. Younger kids love seeing their own drawing turned into art — take a photo of it, add it in the studio and ask for “this drawing as a bright, clean illustration”. Teens usually prefer a bold style over a sentimental one.

Ordering for the whole family

1. Design each case in the studio, switching the phone model for each person before you generate.
2. Order each case separately — each one can ship to a different address, free in the US.
3. Every case is printed to order and ships within 48 business hours. For holidays, we recommend ordering by December 14 for the best chance of US delivery by December 25.
4. Make a gift reveal card for anyone who lives far away, so they know what’s coming.
