Star map gift ideas
A star map shows the real sky above a place on one particular night, with your own words beneath it. It works best when there is a date that already means something to them.
Is a star map a good gift?
- Yes, when the date matters. The night you met, a wedding, the night a child was born — the map shows the sky as it was then, so the gift is about them, not about the object.
- It is personal without guessing their taste. You choose the moment and the words; the stars are calculated for that date, time and place.
- It is not a last-minute gift. Each print is made to order and dispatched within 3–6 working days, so order early if it is for a particular day.
Nights people choose
- The night you met or a first date
- The proposal and the wedding night
- The night a baby was born — or the night they were born, for a birthday
- An anniversary: the sky of the wedding night itself
- The first night in a new home
- In memory of someone, or the last day at work
- Christmas — or the Moon on that night
What a star map gift means
It marks a moment: the sky that stood over a particular place on a particular night. Most people choose the evening it happened and add names, the date or a short line of their own.
Making it yours
Choose the moment and the place, write up to 40 characters for the title line, then pick a size and a finish — print only, or a classic frame in black, antique gold or antique silver. Within 24 hours of your payment we email you the finished file to check before it is printed.
Questions

What is a personalised star map?
A print of the night sky for the date, time and place you choose, with your own words beneath it. Ours is calculated from astronomical data, not a decorative pattern.
