Candles and gift cards are forgotten by spring. A portrait of the first place they made their own goes in the entryway and stays.
All you need is a photo
Use a listing photo, a picture you took on moving day, or one from the curb. No visit, no measuring, no waiting on an artist.
Ready to give
Framed prints arrive ready to hang with a free gift note. In a hurry? The $19 download arrives the moment you pay.
Gift-ready examples
Three styles to choose from, all from the same kind of phone photo.
Why a house portrait makes a good housewarming gift
A new home is a milestone, and a portrait of it marks the moment the keys changed hands. It suits first-time buyers, parents downsizing, friends who finally found the right place, and anyone moving far from family.
Because the portrait follows the real house, with its porch, windows and trees, it feels made for them. You choose the style and approve the crop before ordering, so there are no surprises.
Which gift to choose
A framed print is the classic: 8×10 for a shelf ($89), 12×16 with a mat for a mantel ($129), or 18×24 for a statement wall ($179), in Black, Red Oak or White wood. A 12×16 poster ($39) is a lighter option they can frame their way.
For a smaller gift, a 3-inch porcelain ornament with the family name ($24) or an 11 oz mug ($26) works well. The keepsake bundle adds both to a framed print or poster for $39 instead of $50.
How to get a photo of their house
The best photo is straight-on from across the street, in daylight, with the whole front of the house in frame. The real-estate listing photo often works, and so does a picture from the day they moved in.

Questions
- Can I ship it straight to them?
- Yes. Enter their address at checkout and add a gift note; prices are never printed on the packing slip.
- What if I only have the listing photo?
- That usually works well. Any clear daylight photo of the front of the house is enough.
- How long does delivery take?
- Standard delivery is usually 11–16 days in the US, a few days more for framed prints; express is about 5 days faster.
- Can I see it before I buy?
- Yes. Previews are free and take about a minute, with no account needed.
