For grandparents, the gift is usually about the family, and the best ones make the whole family visible at once. The family name plaque carries the surname and the year it began, inlaid flush in a second color. The picture frame holds a favorite photo with a short line set below it, often the grandchildren's names or a date.

The place contour tile is the one that tends to get a quiet moment when it is unwrapped. It is drawn from the real elevation around a place you choose, the hometown, the farm, the lake where every summer happened, with the place name inlaid in the accent color.

A few choices to make

Choose Fluted for a classic look, fine flutes around a smooth panel, or Contour for rings that grow out of the letters themselves. Pick a colorway the way you would pick a frame for their wall: Gallery (bone and ink) is calm, Cortado (latte and cocoa) is warm and soft, and Library (olive and bone) suits wood and books.

Grandparents Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays and anniversaries are the usual moments; this page lists each next date with its last order date. Free shipping from $50.

Questions

What do grandparents tend to love most?

A picture frame with a short line inlaid under the photo, and the family name plaque with the year the family began. Both go straight onto a wall or a shelf where everyone sees them.

Can I include the grandchildren's names?

The picture frame carries a short line, which can be a few first names. The named wall hooks give each grandchild a hook of their own for when they visit.

What is the place contour tile?

A tile drawn from the real elevation around an address or a place you choose, with the place name inlaid. For grandparents it is usually the town they grew up in or the house where the family gathered.

Can it ship directly to them?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout. The box holds the piece and a card recording what it was made from, never a price.
