If you recently (or not-so-recently) moved cities, you may want to incorporate decorative items that showcase your hometown pride into your apartment. Whether you're from the next town over or miles away, these online stores offer state- and city-centric items that will show your guests where you come from.

Jelligun
This shop creates pairs of state prints that not only feature your home state, but also your current state. A heart logo marks the city where you're from and the city where you currently live, so you'll always feel like both places are represented in your home.

Covered Bridges
If your style is more rustic, hang a piece of reclaimed wood wall art in the shape of your home state. Each one is customized with your chosen state and the size that you prefer, so you can fill any empty wall with a little piece of home.

TravelSigns
Whether your favorite hometown landmark is your city's baseball field or your alma mater, this Etsy shop creates replica highway signs with the exact number of miles between here and there. You'll also find signs for the highway that leads back to your hometown.

Transport yourself back to a simpler time, when fresh fruits came from trees instead of from your local juice bar. Matt Family Orchard is located just 30 minutes from the hum of city life, but it offers visitors a chance to pick their own fruit right from the orchard and spend the afternoon outdoors under the Texas sun.

While many orchards offer visitors the chance to pick apples, Matt Family Orchard allows you to pick a number of different fruits, from blackberries to figs to Asian pears. The picking tours cost just $3 per pound, and the schedule changes all year, depending on what’s in season. There’s also a nursery where visitors can purchase plants, and a small shop sells preserves and honey.

Whether you’re looking for a unique date spot or a place to take the kids, Matt Family Orchard is fun for everyone. Visit the website to learn more about tour times and harvest schedules.
