Picturing Places

Personalised map prints

An anniversary map of a place in your story.

Some gifts say how well you know someone. Choose a place you share and turn it into a personalised anniversary map print, with your words and a framed or unframed finish.

A place only you would choose

Choose the chapter, not just the date.

For a first anniversary, a tenth, or a year that simply deserves remembering, one place can say more than a list of milestones.

Where you met or first dated

Go back to the start: the café, the city, the neighbourhood you explored together. Use the date you remember most clearly, rather than trying to fit several beginnings onto one print.

The proposal or wedding

Choose the town or the area around the venue, then add your names and the date. A closer view can make a small place feel personal; a wider one can recall the whole day.

The honeymoon or a shared journey

A coastline, a city break, the place you kept returning to. Choose one location from the trip and let the surrounding geography set the mood.

Your first home

The street where everyday life together began. A neighbourhood view can tell that story without displaying the full address on your wall.

Start with a look you love

Your place. Your way of seeing it.

Two designs from the Picturing Places collection. Your print can use your own location, style and wording; these examples show city labels.

Portrait Athens map in muted green and blue with a handwritten-style city label at the bottom
Athens: a softer palette and a different arrangement of the labels.
Portrait Paris map with dark streets, a pale blue Seine, and city and coordinate labels at the top
Paris: a city name and coordinates keep the composition simple.
Choose your own place

The words underneath

Make room for your own words.

An anniversary caption can be quiet. Pair one line with your names, a year or a date that makes sense to the two of you.

Make it yours

From a memory to a print.

  1. Find the place

    Search for a city, neighbourhood or address. Check the result, then adjust the view: closer for a familiar street, wider for a city or coastline.

  2. Choose the style and words

    Explore the palettes and layouts. Edit the main label, second label and coordinates or personal-text line. Use names, a meaningful date or a short caption.

  3. Choose your print

    Select from the available framed or unframed options in the creator. Check the preview, spelling and date before ordering.

Create your anniversary map

A few useful details.

Does an anniversary map have to show where we met?

No. Choose one place that matters to you: a first date, proposal, wedding, honeymoon, first home or a city you return to. The meaning comes from your choice and wording.

What should I write for a milestone anniversary?

A short line such as ‘Ten years, and counting’, with your names or a meaningful date, is enough. You can also leave out the number and choose wording that will feel natural on your wall for years.

Can I change the style and text?

Yes. Choose a map style, adjust the view and edit the three label lines. You can keep automatic coordinates, replace them with personal text or leave a line blank.

Should I choose a framed or unframed print?

A framed print brings the artwork and frame together. An unframed print leaves room for a frame you already own or want to choose yourself. Check the available sizes and finishes in the creator before ordering.
