Personalised housewarming gifts: for the house, not the shelf
At a housewarming, the wine is gone by midnight and the plant is dead within a month. The gift people remember is the one about the house itself. The safest bet is the bathroom print: airline safety instructions for the throne, with the family’s name at the top and a note of where the spare rolls live; it’s the one that goes up before the party ends. The city map shows the new street, with a marker on the house, and the photo version adds the couple in a round frame. For friends who’ve moved far away, the distance print joins the old town to the new one. The Breton bowls put a name on each bowl for the first family breakfast, and the GPS bracelet engraves the coordinates of the house. Expect €19.90 for an A4 print, €29.90 for a 30 × 40 and €23.90 for the bracelet, and about a week for delivery to Ireland (order ten days ahead).

Personalised funny bathroom print — in-throne safety instructions
The one that goes up before the party’s over: an airline-style safety card for the loo, with the new house’s name at the top and a note of where the spare rolls are kept. Guests read it sitting down, then bring it up again in the living room.
From €8.90
-
Personalised toilet roll print — the anatomy of your household’s roll, over or under
The household’s toilet roll as a natural history plate, “Papyrus domesticus”, with six captioned parts and the verdict in large letters: over or under. When two people move in together, it’s the first thing to settle, and the print settles it.
From €8.90
-
Personalised 5-star toilet reviews print — what your guests really think
The house loo as a 5-star listing, with reviews from everyone who’s been through. Before the party, each friend writes one, and you give it signed by all of you.
From €8.90
-
Personalised city map poster — the city where you met
The new street, drawn from OpenStreetMap and centred on the address, with a marker on the house. Underneath, the name of the town and a dedication: the date they got the keys, to mark the day it all began here.
From €8.90
-
Personalised city map poster with photo — the place where you met
A map of the new neighbourhood with a round photo sitting on the bottom edge: the two of them at the front door, boxes still in the hall. For a first flat together, the place and the couple on the same print.
From €8.90
-
Personalised distance poster — two places, one distance
For friends who’ve moved far away: the old town and the new one joined by a line, with the kilometres between them under the title. It tells people who’ve just left everything behind that nobody’s forgotten where they came from.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Breton bowls poster — a bowl for everyone in the family
The first family table in the new kitchen: one two-handled bowl per person, each with a name painted on it, up to seven, and a title of your own under the stack, like “Our House” or the name of the road.
From €8.90
-
Personalised GPS Coordinates Bracelet – The Place You Met
The GPS coordinates of the new house, worked out from the address and engraved on a cherry-wood plate. For whoever carried the boxes: now they wear the address on their wrist.
€23.90

Frequently asked questions
What’s a good housewarming gift?
Something about the house rather than a bottle that’s gone by midnight: a print with the new owners’ name on it, a map of their new street, or something for the first family table. Personalised, it’s still on the wall long after the party, and it takes a few minutes to put together on a phone.
What’s a funny, unusual housewarming gift?
The bathroom print: airline safety instructions for the throne, with the family’s name and where the spare rolls are kept. It gets a laugh every visit, and it has an obvious spot in a new house, where the toilet walls are still bare.
How much does a personalised housewarming gift cost?
A printed A4 poster costs €19.90, a 30 × 40 €29.90 and a 50 × 70 €49.90; a black, white or wooden frame adds €19 on A4 and €29 on 30 × 40. An engraved bracelet costs €23.90. Split between four friends, a 50 × 70 comes to under €13 each.
Can I give it on the day?
Yes, with the printable file: for €8.90, all five sizes as PDF and PNG arrive by download link a few minutes after ordering, ready to print at home or at a print shop. A printed poster leaves the workshop within 48 hours and usually reaches Ireland six or seven days after you order.
What should I get a couple moving in together?
The city map with their photo: the plan of the new neighbourhood, a round photo of them on the bottom edge of the map, their names underneath. It’s the keepsake of a first flat together. If they’re leaving another town, the distance print joins the old address to the new one.
