Father's Day Gifts: Personalised Metal Prints He'll Love
Find the perfect Father's Day gift with personalised metal photo prints. From adventure shots to family portraits, discover gifts dad will treasure for decades.
A bottle of wine gets drunk. A candle burns down. A houseplant — let's be honest — usually doesn't survive the first month.
When friends move into a new home, what they actually need isn't another decorative object. They need something that says: this is yours now. Something that turns the house on the deeds into the home on the wall.
That's where a personalised address sign comes in — and why it leads this guide to premium housewarming gifts that actually get kept.
There's a strange psychology to moving in. The keys are yours, the mortgage is yours, but for weeks the place still feels like a hotel. Boxes in corners. Walls without pictures. The previous owner's choices echoing back at you.
Personalised gifts shortcut that transition. They say you live here in a language no generic homeware can speak.
The address sign is the most direct version of this. It doesn't sit on a shelf hoping to be noticed — it's literally the line that completes the house: this number, this street, this family.
Most housewarming gifts try to be useful. Ours is built to last for decades.
The Bolot address sign is handcrafted in Poland from glossy metal — a premium material built for professional exterior signage. It is designed for exterior address use with simple care, so the entrance feels considered without promising indestructibility.

This is the gift that earns its place by the front door. It marks the home, photographs beautifully, and arrives ready to mount. If the new owners haven't bought one for themselves yet — and most haven't — you've solved a job they didn't know they had.
Best for: any new home, any aesthetic, any budget tier from £109 for the square or £139 for the landscape.
A metal photo print of the family — perhaps the day they got the keys, or the children on the new doorstep — turns the empty hallway into a homecoming. Pair it with the address sign and you've gifted the entrance of the house.
The latitude and longitude of the new house, etched into solid brass. A small object with surprising emotional weight, especially when the move was a long time coming.
Skip the seasonal selection box. Find a single candle in a scent that suits them — fig and cedar for the minimalist couple, smoke and leather for the renovator. Quality over quantity.
A blank journal for the new home — visitors sign it, the family logs renovations, and twenty years later it's the most-read book in the house.
The pairing rule
The most memorable housewarming gifts come in pairs: one personal, one
consumable. The address sign and a good bottle. The family print and a
handwritten card. Pair the lasting with the immediate.
The address sign isn't only a housewarming gift. It's the most under-used premium gift in five other situations:

Pro Tip
Wedding gift idea: ask the couple where they're moving after the honeymoon,
then surprise them with an address sign waiting on the doorstep when they
arrive.
Enter the house number — single digits, double digits, or letters (14, 14A, even "The Cottage" works)
Enter the street name — full street name; long names auto-scale to fit
Choose a template — from six designs covering serif, sans-serif, geometric, and minimal
Pick a size — 30×30 cm for most front doors, 46×34 cm for grander entrances
Review your included mounting kit — choose raised steel standoffs (with a full anchor kit) or an adhesive fix using included real glue, both included
Design tip: the rule of thumb is to match the typography of the house. Modern build with sharp lines? Choose the geometric template. Edwardian semi with original details? Go serif.
Long street names
Don't worry about character counts — the configurator auto-scales the street
line so "Cherry Tree Walk" and "St" both look intentional.
You don't have to. Every Bolot sign arrives in a premium presentation box — black, branded, with the sign nested inside protective foam. It looks like a gift before you've touched it.
If you want to add a personal layer:
Slip a handwritten card between the sign and the foam
Wrap the box in linen with a sprig of olive or eucalyptus
Print a photo of the new home and tuck it inside the lid
For weddings, the cleanest version is to leave the box wrapped and present the wrapped box on a tray with two glasses and a bottle. The reveal does the work.
Each sign is handcrafted in Poland and individually inspected before it ships.
Production: 1-3 business days
UK delivery: 5-7 business days via local carrier

If the housewarming is in two weeks, you have plenty of time. If it's this Friday, send a note now and let the physical gift arrive after production and delivery.
A bottle of wine vanishes by Sunday. A candle is gone by Christmas. A houseplant — well, you know.
The address sign becomes part of the entrance routine: visible, personal, and easy to care for over the years. New babies arrive and leave under it. Friends learn to recognise the house by it. Eventually, it's the small, enduring detail that makes the place look like home in old photographs.
That's what a premium gift is meant to do. Not impress on day one — endure quietly, for decades.
Give the new homeowners something they'll see every time they come home.

Frequently Asked Questions
A personalised address sign tops the list because it's the first thing guests see and the last thing the owners look at when they leave each morning. It marks the home as theirs — not the builder's, not the previous owner's. Unlike candles or wine, it stays on the wall for decades.
Production takes 1-3 business days. UK delivery via local carrier takes 5-7 business days. For a moving-in date in two weeks, order now and you'll have time to spare.

The most meaningful gift for new homeowners is something that marks the home
as theirs. A personalised address sign — the house number and street,
handcrafted in Poland from glossy metal — does exactly that. It's the first
thing guests notice, the last thing they remember, and it stays on the wall
for decades. Pair it with a handwritten note and you've given a gift no candle
or wine bottle can match.
Pro Tip
The strongest housewarming gifts are the ones that couldn't have been bought
for anyone else. Personalisation is what separates a thoughtful gesture from a
filler present.
