When staying at my parent's beach house, I like to do something nice for them, whether it's helping them out with the house, cooking some meals, or giving a small gift. While flipping through an old copy of Southern Living magazine on the beach, my girlfriend and I discovered the perfect thank you gift from Pen Meet Paper.
Pen Meet Paper designs, draws and creates state prints by hand and uses lyrics that relate to the state. For my parents, we went with the Goin' to Carolina print ($16), which features lyrics from James Taylor's classic song "In My Mind, I'm Goin' to Carolina" (one of my parent's favorites). It has a great water color look to it, and arrived very quickly. My girlfriend put the 8 x 10 print in a simple white frame from Michael's since they'll be hanging it at the beach. A small thank you gesture, but my parents love it!
There are many other state prints available in the artist's Etsy shop, and you can also work with her to customize/personalize them. For the constant traveler who never stays in one place, I'd recommend the See the World Globe print.
