Six guides, and they don't say the same thing six times: what suits a first flat isn't what suits a leaving present, and what you can carry to a party rules most of the range out. Each one starts from the situation, not from the shelf, so read the practical part first and decide afterwards whether a picture is the right gift at all.

Which guide, at a glance
| Their situation | What usually goes down well | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Bought or rented their first place | Something they still need, or a first picture for the wall | First-home gifts |
| Moving this month | Help on the day, food, anything that packs flat | Moving-house gifts |
| You are going to their party | Something you can carry in one hand | Housewarming gifts |
| Settled in, walls still bare | A picture of the house itself | Personalised house pictures |
| Their first Christmas there | A picture of the house, given in December | First Christmas in a new home |
If you are not sure, ask one question first: what is still missing? People mid-move nearly always know the answer, and it is usually something dull and useful. Once they have been in a few months, the answer changes to something for a wall, which is where a print of the house comes in. Every guide here gives you both kinds of idea, and says plainly when the practical gift is the better one.
All our house pictures start from one photograph of the front of the home and are printed to order with free UK delivery. Catalogue houses can be returned unused within 14 days of delivery. A picture made from your photo is personal to you, so it cannot be returned unless it arrives damaged or faulty.
