About Housewarming and first home

A house becomes theirs in small ways: a name by the door, keys that always land in the same place, a picture of where they live now.

By the door

The key holder carries the family name and the year they moved in, with hooks for every set of keys. Named wall hooks give each person their own hook for coats and bags. A family name plaque or a wall name plaque sets the household name in the entry, inlaid in a second color.

The new town on the wall

The place contour tile turns a real US place into raised contour lines drawn from USGS elevation data: the hills behind the house, the lake down the road, the shape of the valley. Add a label and the year. It is the gift people ask about when they visit.

Practical notes

Our current pieces are PLA, made for indoors and covered porches out of direct sun. Wall pieces hang from keyhole slots; hardware is not included because walls differ. Order about 10 business days before you visit. Free shipping from $50.

Questions about Housewarming and first home

What is the best first home gift?

A key holder with the family name and the year they moved in. It is used every day, hangs by the door and makes the house feel claimed.

Can you make a map of their new town?

Yes. The place contour tile draws a real US place from USGS elevation data as raised contour lines, with a label and the year inlaid.

Do your pieces go outside?

No. Our current pieces are PLA, made for indoors and covered spaces. Outdoor pieces will only be sold after they pass an outdoor test.

How do they hang?

Wall pieces have keyhole slots on the back for a screw or nail. Hardware is not included because walls differ.

How early should I order?

About 10 business days before the housewarming. Spring and February are the busiest moving months.

What if I am not sure of the spelling of the family name?

Ask first: personalized pieces are final sale except defects. You have 12 hours after ordering to change the words.
