A picture of the home they are leaving
The first family home, a much-loved garden or the doorway everyone remembers can make a meaningful picture to take to a new place. Choose a home they remember fondly and use a photograph you own or have permission to reproduce. You can also arrange to take a new photograph while you have access.
A picture of the new home
A picture of the new home marks the next chapter. Let their decorating plans guide the style and size: a framed print for the hallway, a smaller picture beside the desk or a house mug for the new kitchen. Choosing the picture together after unpacking can be part of your first visit.
Which format suits a leaving gift
A moving gift is usually given before the move rather than after it, which changes what works. They are packing. Anything large is one more thing to wrap, and a picture of the new house may be premature if the sale is not finished.
- Unframed print, £14.99 at A4 to £34.49 at 50x70 cm. Packs flat in the box that is already open.
- Mug, £16.99. Survives the move in a way glass does not.
- Framed print, £69.00 at A3. Give this one after they have landed, not while they are wrapping plates.
Keep the photo or try an art style
You can print the original photograph or try an optional AI style. Confirm that you own the image or have permission to transform and reproduce it. The AI studio allows three successful previews per verified client per day; select the result you want and inspect the details and crop before proceeding. AI can change small details, so check the house is represented as you expect.
Make a picture of their home or print the original house photograph to begin.
