What makes a good hometown gift?

A piece of the place they love: the city they grew up in, the one they moved to, or the one where you met. Draw it free, choose the craft that suits their home, and order early. Every piece is made to order, and the product page shows how long it takes before you pay.

Which place should I choose?

The one that means something to them, which is not always the one on their address:

  • The hometown they still talk about.
  • The college town, or the city of a first job.
  • The city where the two of you met.
  • The state they just moved away from, or the one they just moved to.
  • The country their family comes from.

When should I order for the holidays?

Every piece is made to order, and the time it takes is shown on its product page and at checkout, read live, so count back from the day you want to give it. The design itself takes about a minute, so the only wait is the making and the delivery.

Can it go straight to them?

Yes: put their address at checkout. The delivery is tracked, and you can follow it on the tracking page from the day it ships.

Questions this leaves

Can a gift be returned?

Each piece is made for one place and one person, so it cannot be returned once it is made. That is why you see the design and approve it before you pay.
