New York Gifts & Souvenirs

The New York outline covers a great deal more than the city, and the designs treat it that way, drawing out the Adirondack bulk and the Long Island tail both. The New York designs are applied after you order, not before. That is what lets the collection run deep on artwork without running deep on inventory.

As New York souvenirs go, these are the ones that stay out on the table instead of going in a drawer.

Slate and Cork Coasters

Coaster sets are where most people start. Slate and cork each come four to a set, round or square, with the same New York artwork on both, so you are choosing a material rather than a different design.

Slate measures four inches across at a quarter inch thick, hand chiseled at the edge so no two pieces match, with four foam pads on the back. Cork is slimmer at 3/16 inch and weighs almost nothing, which is why it tends to end up on desks rather than bars.

The New York Designs

You will find the plain outline, the outline with the name in brush lettering, a script signature, NY initials, a word cloud, a floral fill, and HOME and HOME SWEET HOME using the state as the letter O. Run one design across the set or mix them.

One thing worth saying plainly: where a heart or a star sits inside the state shape, that placement is decorative. It does not mark a town.

Ornaments for the Tree

Ornaments come in both slate and wood, and the wood ones arrive with a twine hanger tied on. There are Merry Christmas From New York versions in both materials, which cover the card and the present together.

These are the pieces that come back out every December, which is most of why people buy them.

Cutting and Cheese Boards

The New York wine bottle board is bamboo, seventeen by five and a quarter inches, cut long and narrow so it works as a cheese board, a charcuterie plank or a bar tray depending on the evening. Decorated on one face, working surface on the other.

It is the piece people reach for when they want a New York gift that gets used rather than displayed. If you came here looking for a New York cutting board, this is the piece.

City Skylines in New York

Plenty of people are homesick for a city rather than a state. Skylines in the collection include New York City and Buffalo, each engraved on slate ornaments, wood ornaments and bamboo boards.

For someone who left a specific place, the skyline lands harder than an outline of New York ever will.

Tumblers, Wall Art and More

The New York artwork is not limited to coasters and ornaments. Tumblers and wall art are joining the collection, and full color UV printing opens up designs the laser cannot do on its own. If you want a New York piece in a format you do not see here yet, it is worth checking back.

Personalized New York Gifts

Custom text is being added across the range, so a name, a date, a street or a family line can go on alongside the New York design. That turns a coaster set into a wedding gift with the date on it, or an ornament into a record of the year someone moved.

New York Gifts by Occasion

A coaster set covers a housewarming or a closing gift without guessing at anyone's taste. The bamboo board suits a wedding, an anniversary or a host who actually cooks. Ornaments handle Christmas, a first apartment, a graduation move. A set of four is a fair thank-you for the neighbor who watched your dog.

If you are working through New York gift ideas, their city is the safer bet for someone who moved away. For someone still in the state, the outline designs read as pride rather than nostalgia.

City trips account for a lot of the searching, which is why the skyline pieces sit alongside the state ones.

How These Are Made

There are two ways a design gets onto a piece here. Laser engraving cuts into the surface, which on slate reads pale against dark stone and on bamboo burns a shade darker than the grain. UV printing puts down full color for artwork that depends on it.

Since each piece is made once the order is in, turnaround is one to three business days. Sets go out in a clear bag, not a retail box.
