Wine is fine. A map of their new street feels like you showed up with something only you would think of — especially when the housewarming is this weekend and shipping will not make it.
Just Map Print is built for that: live preview in the browser, then a $12 multi-size download you can print at home or a local shop the same day.

Why a map beats generic wall art
- The address is already emotional — first keys, first Sunday coffee, first guests.
- Digital files skip shipping. Design Friday night, print Saturday morning.
- They choose the frame that matches the new apartment (IKEA, Target, high-street poster frames).
- One unlock covers common US and UK/EU sizes, so you are not guessing their wall.
If they just moved into a first place, the same product with a stronger headline lives on New home map print and First home map.
What to put on the print (copy that works)
Keep type short. The streets should stay the hero.
| Element | Ideas that work |
|---|---|
| Headline | Welcome home · Est. 2026 · Our new street · The Smiths |
| Subline | The address · Neighbourhood name · “First Sunday brunch” |
| Marker | House icon or simple pin in a quiet colour |
| Crop | Tight on their block, or wide enough to show a park / river they care about |
Avoid long paragraphs on the poster — save the story for a card.
Step-by-step: make one before the party
- Open Housewarming map print (preset for welcome-home style).
- Search the new address (or the nearest intersection if the listing is private).
- Zoom until the crop feels personal — not a whole city blob, not a single building unless that is the joke.
- Edit headline / subline. Toggle coordinates off if they clutter the gift.
- Optional: download a free watermarked preview and send it in the group chat for a vibe check.
- Unlock for $12 → get the full size pack → print the size that matches the frame you bought (or they already own).

Gift logistics that do not fail
- No frame yet? Print 11×14 (US) or A3 (UK/EU) — easiest to find in-store.
- Last-minute: unlock on your phone, email yourself the files, print at a drugstore / Staples / high-street printer on the way.
- Long-distance gift: send the download link or files; they print where they live — no customs, no crushed tube.
- Couple just moved in together? A soft “where it began” variant is Where we met map if the gift is about them, not only the apartment.
