Hometown Gift Ideas for Someone Far From Home

No matter how far someone moves, their hometown stays part of who they are. If someone you love is homesick, a map of where they grew up is one of the most personal gifts you can give.

The whole town: Zoom out to show the full town and title it with its name. Great for a new graduate starting a job in another city.

The street they grew up on: Zoom in on the childhood neighborhood. Parents and siblings love this one, too.

Grandma's house: Map a grandparent's home for the whole family. Titles like "NANA'S" or the family name make it a keepsake.

A shared hometown: For old friends from the same town, a matching pair of posters is a fun way to stay connected.

Short titles like "HOMETOWN", "HOME", or the town's name look cleanest on the finished poster.
