Christmas Gifts for New Homeowners: Ideas to Make a House Feel Like Home

A first Christmas in a new home is special. The walls are still bare, the boxes are not all unpacked, and every new piece makes the place feel a little more like theirs. That makes it the perfect moment for a gift that belongs on the wall.

A portrait of the pet who makes it home

For many people, home is wherever their dog or cat is. A portrait of their pet is the perfect first piece of art for a new house, personal, elegant and full of meaning.

At Haven and Whiskers, each portrait is created from one photo and delivered framed, ready to hang in the hallway, living room or kitchen.
