Option 1 (most popular): Gift a Certificate (always available)

Gift them a certificate so they can submit their favorite photos & background color when they are ready to paint. You will do this by essentially purchasing the kit for them and sending them a certificate. Orders do not expire, so this is a great option for all. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to our kit homepage, scroll to the “add to cart” area. Enter the number of pets they will be painting on their project, the number of projects you are gifting them, and click add to cart.

  2. There will be an order form that pops up. For background color, select “will be included in email w/ photos” so your recipient can pick their own background color.

  3. Enter YOUR email (the person gifting the certificate). This will ensure your recipient does not get the order confirmation.

  4. Enter THEIR shipping address (the person receiving the gift). If you do not know their address, you can enter yours, and we can manually change the shipping address later.

  5. Enter YOUR billing information.

  6. Hit “submit order.” You will get an order confirmation with an order number. You shouldn’t need your order number, but save it just in case.

  7. After you have placed the order, you can download a gift certificate using the button below. This is a generic certificate that has information about their gift. It’s always nice to have something to open.

    Once the recipient has opened their certificate and is ready to paint here is what they need to do:

  8. They should email photos and background color of choice to kits@grayduckart.com using directions our homepage. We will be able to look up their order/gift certificate using their shipping address which was provided with the order. Orders do not expire, so they can choose to order their kit whenever they are ready. Paints do expire, so plan to paint the kit in the first month or two.

  9. Their kit will ship to them with our normal turnaround time. Turnaround time will be updated on our website periodically.

Option 2: Gift a Ready-to-go Kit

Gift them the physical kit. Purchase the kit AND submit their photos and background color. Have it shipped right to them (feel free to add a request for a note on the package), or have it shipped to you to give to them.

  1. Go to our kit homepage, scroll to the “add to cart” area. Enter the number of pets they will be painting on their project, the number of projects you are gifting them, and click add to cart.

  2. There will be an order form that pops up. Please select a background color you think they would like and enter any special requests you may have. If you would like us to include a note in the box, please add that in your special request box.

  3. Enter YOUR email. This will ensure your recipient does not get the order confirmation.

  4. Enter THEIR shipping address (wherever the kit is going).

  5. Enter YOUR billing information.

  6. Hit “submit order.” You will get an order number. Email kits@grayduckart.com with your order number and the picture(s) of the recipient’s pet.

  7. You’re all set! Once you have sent in the photos of the animal with the order number the kit will be sent to production.
