An original housewarming gift is something made for that very home: with the address, the street name or the family name. Or a useful little thing the new flat is missing in the first weeks. Here are ideas we print ourselves \u2014 from a map of your street to a router holder for power cuts.<\/p>\n<h2>An \u201cOur home\u201d map with the address<\/h2>\n<p>The most personal housewarming gift is a 3D map of the block around the new home. Buildings stand by height, the streets are dark, and the home itself is printed as an orange insert with a red heart above it. The address, \u201cOur home\u201d or the housewarming date go in relief around the edge, on the stand or on a strip.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Round map with the address and a heart<\/strong> \u2014 \u00d8150 mm, the address around the edge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cOur home\u201d heart<\/strong> \u2014 a caption and the address on the stand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cOur home\u201d plaque<\/strong> \u2014 a caption and the address on the strip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We build the map from OpenStreetMap data right around the new homeowners\u2019 address and show it to you before printing. More on the <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.lviv.ua\/en\/ready-made-products\/our-home-map\/\">\u201cOur home\u201d map<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h2>A house number sign<\/h2>\n<p>For a private house \u2014 a sign with the number and the street name: couriers and guests can see it, and it makes the facade feel like home straight away. We print it in PETG, a plastic for outdoor use: separate 3D digits that cast a shadow on the facade, a two-colour sign with the street name or a light-up sign with channels for an LED strip. <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.lviv.ua\/en\/ready-made-products\/house-number-sign\/\">House number signs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A self-watering planter<\/h2>\n<p>A plant is a classic housewarming gift, and a planter with a reservoir helps it survive the first weeks after the move, when watering is easy to forget. A cotton wick draws water from the reservoir into the soil, and a window at the front shows when it\u2019s time to top up. There is a table planter with a level window, a textured \u201cWave\u201d planter with a tray and a hanging one. <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.lviv.ua\/en\/ready-made-products\/self-watering-planters\/\">Self-watering planters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A night light for the bedroom or nursery<\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cMoon\u201d night light glows softly on a shelf, the \u201cStar lantern\u201d scatters stars across the nursery ceiling, and on a lithophane the picture appears as soon as the light is on \u2014 with a landscape or your own photo worth taking to the new home. The light comes from a battery LED candle, with no wires. <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.lviv.ua\/en\/ready-made-products\/night-lights\/\">3D-printed night lights<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Useful little things for a new home<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mini UPS and router holder.<\/strong> In a new flat the internet for power cuts goes straight onto the wall instead of the floor.

To hand it over in something better than an envelope, there is a safe piggy bank with a battery-free combination mechanism: in the \u201cMoney gift\u201d version the notes lie flat, you give the safe locked, and the code goes in a card or a riddle. <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.lviv.ua\/en\/ready-made-products\/safe-piggy-bank\/\">Safe piggy bank with a code<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A gift from your own idea<\/h2>\n<p>Know exactly what this home is missing \u2014 a hook for a particular shelf, a handle, a cap or a door sign?
