Move Over Mugs and Chopping Boards: Here’s the Custom Gift They’ll Never Forget
If you’ve been scrolling through Etsy looking for a custom gift — something thoughtful, personal, and not totally tacky — you’ve probably seen it all:
Engraved chopping boards. Personalised mugs. Matching T-shirts. Cute? Sure. But unforgettable? Probably not.
If you’re looking for a custom gift that’s truly unique and deeply meaningful, a custom house portrait might be exactly what you’re after.
At Pablo Pandani, I create bold, personality-filled portraits of homes, shops, cafés, and buildings that hold sentimental value. Whether it’s your best friend’s first home, your parents’ house before they downsize, or your partner’s favourite holiday shack — these places tell stories. And that’s what makes this gift stand out from the rest.
✅ More meaningful than a mug
✅ More lasting than a chopping board
✅ Way more personal than a candle or coaster
Custom house portraits are perfect for:
Housewarming gifts that actually feel like home
Birthday presents that bring people to tears (in a good way)
Thank-you gifts for hosts, real estate clients, or Airbnb owners
A truly special present for someone who “has everything”
And yes — people hang them proudly on their walls for years.
This isn’t a gift that ends up in the back of a kitchen drawer. It’s a memory, a moment, and a masterpiece all in one.
So if you’re Googling “custom Etsy gifts” and wondering what will actually make someone feel seen and celebrated…
👉 Skip the chopping board. Give them their favourite place, turned into art.
