Gift guide
New home gifts
A housewarming gift has one job: to still be there in ten years. An old map of the city or state they just moved to does that — and the deep-zoom viewer on every product lets you check that their street (or at least their neighbourhood) is on it before you order. Oak frames go with most new-home palettes; white frames disappear into a bright kitchen or hall.

Three tips
- Hallways take a 12×18 or 16×20; over a console table go 18×24.
- Use "See it on your wall" with a photo of their actual wall if you have one.
- Ships in 2–4 days — order after the move so it doesn't sit in a box.
