Custom Maps Are A Special Gift
Custom wood maps are often our favorite to create as there is always a unique and interesting story behind each of them. They are given as gifts or fashioned for a customer’s personal enjoyment. Here are some ideas:
Weddings
You can buy a toaster oven or you can buy customized art. Maybe a map of where they met, a first date, or the location of a favorite restaurant. This is a gift they can cherish forever. The toaster oven will eventually break.
Anniversaries
Wow your partner with a custom-designed map showing all your favorite places. It could show the places you’ve lived, your favorite vacation spots, or where you met, got engaged, got married, or live now.
Mother’s Day
A map of your mom’s hometown or country. Maybe her favorite vacation spot. Or the places she has lived in her life. Or maybe where all of her kids and grandkids are living now.
Father’s Day
Dads can prove to be difficult to buy for, but just be a little creative. How about a map of his high school or first job? A fishing trip. A golf course. His favorite restaurant. You’ll be sure to surprise him and make an impression.
Sports Fans
Some games are more than games; they are deep-seated memories that live with us forever. Stadiums, indoor arenas, golf courses, race tracks (car, thoroughbreds), demolished venues, boat races, and running courses are just a fraction of the memories that can be preserved.
Baby Showers
Let’s be kid friendly and create a map of a child’s hometown or neighborhood in a kid’s graphic style. We can highlight the house, a park, a playground, or any noteworthy place of interest with some graphic icons.
Housewarmings
A custom map is an ideal gift for a new home. Map their new city or do multiple maps on one board showing their present home and former home/apartment.
Retirements
Retirement is a time to look back and look ahead. Create a map of previous residencies, job locations, where children were born. Possibly a map of a retirement community where the recipient is relocating. So many things that can make an amazing heartfelt gift.
Graduations
College or High School campuses and sports stadiums/arenas are tailor-made gifts for high school or college graduates. No one wants to forget dear old State!
Races
Highlight landmark achievements like marathons, triathlons, x-country skiing, or bike races with a custom map of a race course. If your friend ever ran Boston, a map of the course makes for the perfect gift.
Corporate Gifts and Interior Decorations
We can design custom maps of a company’s territories for a conference room or maps of their office sites that can decorate the walls of their headquarters. City maps of office locations are another option. A custom map can be given to customers and also utilized for employee commendations.
Wedding Parties
Do the unusual and present customs map to your wedding party. Create maps that are touching to each individual.
Awards
Custom maps are terrific for awarding prizes and recognizing accomplishments. Be inventive and create a map of a competition locale or a map of a city where a recipient lives. Better yet, a map of a location where an award ceremony is taking place. Depending on the setting and award, you should have no difficulty zeroing in on an appropriate, amazing, custom map.
Legacy Map
Celebrate the lives of those who have left us. Design a map displaying locations significant in their lives along with icons marking milestones. We can also create maps commemorating a tour of duty for a military individual.
