Housewarming Gifts for Her
Something Real for Her New Home
She just got the keys. She's got boxes everywhere and a wall she doesn't know what to do with yet. You want to bring something that feels like home—not something she has to find a place for.
Jess is an Indiana watercolor artist who paints everything by hand—florals, botanicals, faith-forward art—and turns those original designs into tea towels, art prints, tote bags, shirts, and more. Every housewarming gift in this shop started as a real painting. Made by hand. Made to go on the wall she hasn't figured out yet or get reached for every single morning in her new kitchen.
This is where you find the housewarming gift that actually feels like home.
The Housewarming Gift for
Every New Beginning
First Home Gift
She worked hard for this. First mortgage, first set of keys, first kitchen that's actually hers. A hand-painted tea towel is the gift she hangs in that kitchen on day one and reaches for every morning after. Soft, beautiful, 100% cotton—it belongs there from the start.
New Apartment Gift
Blank walls are the hardest part of a new place. A watercolor art print is the gift that solves one of them. She hangs it, the room feels right, and she thinks of you every time she walks past it. That's a good gift.
Going Away/
Moving Gift
She's leaving and you want to send a piece of home with her. An Indiana art print or Indiana tea towel is the gift that follows her to every apartment after this—on the wall, in the kitchen, a little reminder of where she came from.
Hostess Gift for Her
She's opening her home. You're bringing something. A hand-painted tote or a watercolor tea towel is the hostess gift that says you thought about her—not just the party. Something for her kitchen. Something she'll use long after the guests leave.
Made by Hand. By One Person. For the Home She’s Making.
Jess is a mom of two boys, a minister’s wife, and an artist who made a vow in art school that she'd never give up creating—no matter where life took her.
More than ten years later, Art and Home co. is still here and growing. Still hand-painted. Still made by one person in Indiana who believes that beauty is worth making and worth giving.
She creates because she has to. And somewhere in the making of something beautiful, she believes we catch a glimpse of who God is—because He called us to create too.
That's what's behind every piece in this shop. Not just a product. A little bit of what it means to be made in His image.
