Gift ideas with a star map
24 October 2026
A custom star map keeps the sky of a day that matters: a wedding, a birth, a first meeting. All it takes is a place, a date and, if you wish, a time and a message of a few words.
For which occasions?
- A wedding or a wedding anniversary: the sky above the ceremony venue, on the day.
- A birth: the sky above the maternity ward, with the name and the date.
- A first meeting, a first kiss, a proposal: the sky of the exact spot where it all began.
- A birthday: the sky of the place and day of birth.
- A new home, a graduation, a trip, or a tribute to a loved one.
Which date and place to choose?
Choose the place where the event happened, not necessarily where you live: the wedding church, the maternity ward, the restaurant of the first evening. A city name is enough; the studio suggests cities as you type.
The time is optional. If you do not know it, enter an approximate time: the sky turns by about 15 degrees per hour. And you can choose not to show it on the poster.
What message to write?
A few words are enough, and the text can be written in the language of your choice. Some ideas: “The evening we met”, “The best night of my life”, “Oliver, born under these stars”, or simply “The two of us, since 10 April 2018”.
Which style?
Ten palettes are offered: Night, White, Navy, Slate, Ink, Aurora, Burgundy, Forest, Copper and Paper, with modern, classic or script lettering. Light backgrounds pair well with a white or natural wood frame, dark backgrounds with a black one.
Giving it on time
The poster is printed and shipped within 48 working hours, then allow 2–3 working days of transit in France and 2–8 days elsewhere in the European Union. For a last-minute gift, the digital file (€8.90) is available straight away: you have it printed wherever you like.
Frequently asked questions
Can I give a star map for a date in the past?
Yes. Every date from 1900 to 2100 works: a wedding last year or a birth decades ago.
What is a good last-minute gift?
The digital file: it can be downloaded immediately after payment and printed at any print shop.
Do I need to know the exact time?
No. An approximate time is fine, and the time can be left off the poster.
Can the message be written in another language?
Yes: the title, subtitle and dedication are free text, and you write them as you wish.
