Custom map wall art personalized with a meaningful location, names and date

How to Create a Personalized Map of Memory Gift

A great personalized map gift starts with one simple question: which place means the most? It could be the location of your first date, your wedding venue, a favourite holiday destination, your childhood home or another place connected to a special memory.

Step 1: Choose the location

Start with the place that tells the story. Think about a city, neighbourhood, holiday destination or exact location that you and someone special will instantly recognise.

The location is the heart of your personalized map poster, so choose somewhere with emotional meaning rather than simply a beautiful place.

Step 2: Add the names

Names make the artwork feel truly personal. You might add the names of a couple, family members, friends or the people connected to the memory.

Combining a meaningful place with names creates a piece of custom wall art that is unique to the recipient.

Step 3: Add the special date

A date can turn a beautiful location into a story. It could be an anniversary, wedding date, first meeting, engagement, birthday or the date of a memorable journey.

The combination of location, names and date gives the finished Map of Memory its emotional meaning.

Step 4: Choose a size for your wall

Consider where the artwork will be displayed before choosing the size. A smaller format works well on a bedside table wall or in a gallery arrangement, while a larger framed poster can become the focal point of a living room, bedroom or hallway.

Step 5: Create your Map of Memory

When you know the location, names and date, you are ready to create the artwork. Visit the personalized Map of Memory product page and turn your chosen memory into framed wall art.

A personalized map makes an especially thoughtful anniversary gift, wedding gift, couples gift or memory gift because it is based on a story that already belongs to you.

Make a memory part of your home

Photos capture a moment. A personalized map can capture the place behind that moment. That is what makes custom map art so special: every time you see it, you remember where the story happened.

Create your Map of Memory today and give a meaningful place a permanent place in your home.
