We’re currently working on a new guide for Housewarming Gifts. If you have any suggestions please post them here with a link.
We’re looking for great ideas plus great product shots that:
are in focus
crop to fill the whole square view
don’t have filters or frames
don’t have distracting watermarks
If you need help with your product shots, have a look on the Folksy blog in our product photography tips section. http://blog.folksy.com/category/seller-tips/handmade-photography-tips
Thank you!

A signed limited edition print of an original artwork makes a lovely house warming gift.
“This abstract artwork was inspired by the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem Pied Beauty. Hopkins wrote “Glory be to God for dappled things”, which brings to mind the sunlight streaming through the trees. I created this piece from ink and brusho pigments following a late Spring walk in a bluebell wood.”

Ooo perfect theme (I’m moving house on Monday!!)
I personally love original art- not just because I make it but because I think it makes a home a lot more personal & interesting. I also try & keep my artwork affordable as I believe everyone should be able to own a piece should they want.
How about something like the Shoal of Herring currently in my shop,
Or how about something even more affordable? A hermit crab literally carries his home on his back.
