Christmas time is here again. For some, it can’t come quickly enough, while others may feel like they’ve only just taken down the decorations. However, something those of us who celebrate this special time of year can all agree on is that if it really is the season to be jolly, the true joy of Christmas comes from gathering with family and friends to share a precious moment.

Among the twinkling lights, the cozy firesides, and the favorite songs, the true magic of Christmas lies in the giving of gifts we know will have genuine personal meaning. The presents that strike a chord, the mementos that will be treasured forever, the gifts that truly express our understanding and affection for those we hold dear.

With this in mind, we invite you to explore a handpicked collection of sentimental Christmas gifts carefully selected to resonate with everyone on your list. Whether it’s family and friends, colleagues, or that very special someone, these thoughtful gestures are tailor-made to light up faces, warm hearts, and ensure this festive season is one they’ll truly remember.

1. Personalized Prints for a Touch of Sentimentality

What could be more perfect at this time of year than a beautiful gift that tells a particular sentimental story? There’s certainly no lack of goodwill at Christmas time, but when it comes to shopping for presents for so many different people, whether it’s siblings, sweethearts, or grandparents of grown-up children, inspiration can sometimes be in short supply.

Getting presents for everyone we know and love often means navigating a wildly varying range of tastes and preferences, which can quickly become exhausting, and often, the overwhelming, ever-increasing array of off-the-shelf products competing for our hard-earned dollars just makes life feel more confusing.

No wonder that personalized gifting has become ever more popular in recent years. After all, a meaningful Christmas gift such as a bespoke wall print is a beautiful reminder of a unique bond, one that proves you don’t just care about somebody but understand exactly what it is that makes them unique. And what more does anyone really want than that? At Christmas time, or any other time?

So whether it’s a significant Star Map or a personalized Baby Print, when it’s a gift for someone you care about, it’s easy to weigh the options with our Unique Gift Ideas with a Personal Spin and know what’s just right. 

2. Stars of Wonder: Personalized Star Maps

If you were ever going to present a friend or loved one with a personalized map of the stars, then there’s surely no better time than Christmas, when an extra star in the sky shone brightly over Bethlehem to mark the most special of events.

The festive season offers the perfect opportunity to create a customized Star Map, celebrating and remembering someone’s very own wondrous night. Whether it was when a couple first kissed, a baby was born, or someone said, “I do,” a printed star map of the heavens at that magical moment is a gift to treasure forever.

3. Graphic Gifts for Music Lovers

Nothing conjures nostalgia or takes you straight back to a certain time and place like a great song. And at Christmas, with everything from choirs of carollers to crooners like Sinatra and Nat King Cole singing sentimental standards, the chilly air seems to always be filled with the sound of music.

For music fans of all ages, genres, and styles, a Soundwave Print will surely prove a gift worth giving. A graphically striking piece of art, ready to take the lucky recipient on their very own sentimental sonic journey.

It could be your boyfriend’s favorite band, the first dance at your wedding, or a lullaby sung to someone as a child. Whatever music you know will mean the most, upload the audio file to visually capture the soundwave of that special song and create a stunning personalized wall print. There’s even the option of adding a QR code to automatically play the music when scanned, making this artwork a truly sound choice of gift!

4. Something Special for Sports Fans

For sports fans, Christmas is never the only season to get excited about, even if it does encourage a little more love and forgiveness than all the other sporting ones. Whatever the time of year, there’s a team competing somewhere, whether it’s baseball or basketball, the NFL, or the NHL.

Few moments etch themselves into the memory as deeply as watching your beloved team battle their way to victory. And sometimes, just the collective camaraderie of loyally supporting your team, wherever, whenever, and whatever the outcome, creates powerful sentiment and a lasting sense of nostalgia.

Why not help the special sports fan you know cherish those memories by displaying their pride for the team right there on the wall with a stadium map — the perfect print for celebrating their home ground. We can add customizable text options for commemorating those famous wins and favorite players.

5. Wall Art Looks for Those Who Love Books

Nearly all of us know someone who’s almost always got their nose buried in a book. And if you’re looking for meaningful Christmas gifts for those who love losing themselves in literature, read on.

If you have a friend who is a poet at heart or a lyrical loved one with a fondness for delivering a literary quote summing up every situation, what gift could be better than a unique piece of Photo Wall Art featuring a cleverly customized image coupled with some treasured lines from their favorite author? It’s the kind of thoughtful, sentimental Christmas gift that might even leave the book lover in your life lost for words.

6. Home Décor Gifts for Stylish Spaces

Almost all of us enjoy going to town when it comes to traditionally decorating our homes for the festive season, and no doubt we all know someone who loves to keep their living spaces elegant yet cozy all year round.

These folks are some of the easiest to buy gifts for. Know them well enough, and you’ll know that a stylish candle or a striking vase, a dramatic indoor plant, bold cushions, or a super-comfy couch throw will always be more than welcome once you have an intimate understanding of their tastes and preferences. Well-chosen Wall Prints with bespoke designs from a collage of personal photos, text, and graphics are another great alternative for giving a special someone a gift they’ll want to hold on to.

7. Customized Accessories and Jewelry

Customized accessories are another gifting option that has become increasingly popular — simply because choices for personalizing items now go far beyond the old standards of t-shirts and mugs. Today, you can create a bespoke gift from a huge array of luxury items, whether it’s a leather wallet or crystal champagne flutes.

In many cases, fine engraving proves the perfect way of making a beautiful item a personal treasure. If you’re seeking something exceptional for someone this Christmas,  it’s safe to say that the timeless gift of personalized jewelry has been a popular choice for centuries.

8. Experiential Gifts for Unforgettable Memories

While all kinds of objects make sentimental mementos, it’s those amazing, shared experiences that make the memories in the first place. Today, an ever-growing number of us are seeking new and imaginative ways to make more of them.

For the daredevils among us, the list of adrenaline-pumping adventure activities is already broad and keeps on growing, from skydiving to supercar racing. But for those who still want to share an unforgettable moment without fearing it might be their last, there’s a wealth of options, too.

Who wouldn’t remember an awesome stadium concert, a powerful theater production, or being pampered at a luxury spa? And as Christmas is the time we gather to reminisce and share our memories together, the gift of creating new ones seems particularly appropriate for the season.

9. Handmade and DIY Gifts for a Personal Touch

Many would agree that when creating the ultimate personalized and meaningful Christmas gifts, there’s no better choice than to handcraft something very special yourself.

Whatever that might be, it will depend on that unique blend of where your personal creative strengths lie and what you know the recipient of your gift will love most. With a little imagination, the possibilities are almost endless. 

Whether it’s stitched or baked, professionally carved, or covered in glue and glitter, a Homemade Christmas Gift comes straight from the heart and encapsulates the true spirit of Christmas.

What We Really Need to Give at Christmas

When we start to think about what makes a truly meaningful Christmas gift, we soon find ourselves contemplating the sentiment of the season. When we give a gift that comes from the heart and speaks straight to another’s, it becomes more than just a present; it transforms instantly into a symbol of the bond you share.

To have someone else see what makes us unique and to appreciate and celebrate that is the greatest gift of all — at Christmas or any other time.

Updated September 2023

Everyone knows a special place. Maybe it’s the city you grew up in or the place you used to visit on family vacations. Or perhaps you’ve fallen in love with the city you live in today. Wherever makes your heart smile, city map wall art is a great way to commemorate your favorite places and make them part of your home or office.

What’s So Special About City Map Wall Art?

More than a map or a mass-produced piece of wall art, city map wall art puts you in the role of designer to create a truly custom work of art. What’s more, you get to select a city that means something special to you or the person you’re creating it for.

Aside from practicalities, there’s always something comforting about knowing where you are in the world or even recalling a special place you once were. It’s no surprise that city maps have been around for centuries — pretty much since humans began living in larger, organized collectives that became permanent and growing dwellings.

It is no surprise that the earliest city map discovered was carved on a fragment of clay tablet and depicts the ancient Sumerian city of Nipper, which you would now find in southeast Iraq. It’s 3,500 years old and clearly shows important temples, the city park, canals, and the protective city walls and their entrance gates.

Even today, in the USA, no two cities are quite alike, and whether you love traveling between states or across oceans, there’s always something unique to explore and discover. A Custom City Map Print is a great way to find all the hidden gems that add character and intrigue to the places you visit.

Your custom city map wall art is created using the latest GPS technology to create a scale replica of your chosen city’s major highways, side streets, and back alleys. Much like the vessels in our own bodies, streets are what give every city its life. They carry travelers to their destinations and allow the city to thrive. And every time you look at your Custom Map Print, you’ll be inspired to start planning your next adventure.

If you’re searching for a unique, unexpected gift, a high-quality print of a beautiful city certainly doesn’t disappoint. Anyone can go to a store and grab a gift off the shelf, but this does little to personalize the experience. What’s more, there’s always the risk that they already have what you bought them.

The Perfect Occasion to Gift a Custom Map Print

Opting for a unique piece of custom City Map Wall Art brings personalized sentiment to a gift. It shows you know a person well and are more than prepared to put extra care and thought into creating a special present just for them. Thanks to the versatility of city map art, with clever and appropriate personalization, it makes the ideal gift for a wide range of occasions.

Imagine surprising your significant other with a city map depicting exactly where you met for the first time, whether it was a favorite restaurant, a local bar you shared, or even the street corner where you accidentally ran into each other!

For a wedding or anniversary gift, how about a bespoke Met, Engaged, Married Map? This wonderfully versatile piece of wall art offers the opportunity to reproduce maps for three separate locations: where a couple may have first met, the special spot where the proposal was made, and finally, the venue of the wedding.

With special symbols to choose from to mark each address and the option to add text and messages, it’s hard to think of a more personal, special, and heart-warming gift to give or receive. A bespoke cartographic depiction of a unique romantic journey that will undoubtedly take pride of place in a couple’s home forever.

Yet city map prints prove to be thoughtful gifts for many other occasions, especially ones where getting an appropriate gift might otherwise be a headache. For example, a beautiful piece of wall art will always make a welcome housewarming present, but how about a print that elegantly maps just where you are in the neighborhood you moved to?

For a graduation at one end of working life or retirement at the other, custom maps depicting a city with a university where so many memories were made or a fondly remembered workplace make a special present that’s sensitive and appropriate as a gift from friends or colleagues.

Even as an inspirational gift designed to spark wanderlust in an aspiring traveler or a present for those who’ve already journeyed around the globe, a personalized map of a city they dream of seeing or even spending a while living in, or a place that became a favorite destination, is certain to be received as a wonderful, personal memento. City map art makes excellent gifts for all ages and all occasions.

How to Personalize Your City Map Wall Art

One of the benefits of buying a personalized city map instead of one that’s mass-produced is the opportunity to fully customize your print. It’s not just a matter of getting a map of your chosen city printed on paper. It’s also about choosing a color scheme that speaks to your personal tastes, dialing in on a specific area of a city, and choosing the size and shape of your map. And most importantly, it allows you to add custom text to your print that makes it truly unique to you.

How about giving a gift that travels through time? For history enthusiasts, or those who have roots and generations of family in a certain location, how about a map montage, using the latest GPS technology to generate a map of the city they live in as it is today, laid out alongside scans of older maps, depicting how a city looked fifty or even a hundred years ago delivering a fascinating snapshot of how the place a person loves has thrived and grown.

Include a message for your gift recipient to make it even more special. Or, add a special date or name of a place to mark a specific occasion in your favorite city. This is a great way to commemorate your wedding day, an anniversary trip, first dates, where you grew up or went to college, or any milestone events in your life. The only limit is your imagination!

Tips for Displaying Your City Map Wall Art

Finding a special place for your city map wall art is just as important as the map itself. These beautiful maps are just as artistic and creative as they are informative, and you’ll want to choose a spot in your home or office where you can share their beauty with others.

First, you’ll want to choose a nice frame to protect your print and complement its design. If you’ve ordered a print from Positive Prints, you’ll notice we offer several standard sizes that should make framing your print a breeze.

Another fun design tip is to create multiple city maps and display them in the same frame. This allows you to create a unique patchwork of your travels and allows a single piece of art to tell a rich story of your life.

Though installing a gallery spotlight isn’t required to capture your custom wall map’s beauty, good lighting is always a good idea. The right lighting can help all the little details of your city map art shine and ensure no street or feature goes overlooked.

Create Your City Map Wall Art that’s Special to You!

There’s a story behind every custom map. No matter where you’ve traveled or where you dream of visiting next, a custom city map wall art poster is a beautiful piece of your journey.

Get started today with our easy-to-use city map wall art poster creator and commemorate your favorite cities in a fun, creative way!

The moon. That glowing orb of reflected light and pale, radiant beauty, so familiar yet still so mysterious, has been a source of fascination since the dawn of humanity. Almost every culture and civilization has worshipped the moon, and fables and tales, texts, and temples dedicated to its gods and goddesses can still be found in every corner of the globe.

It’s as if the moon were made for mythology and myths. The Greeks called her Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. To the Norse, he was Mani, keeper of time. For the ancient Egyptians, the moon was Khonsu, a god with the head of a falcon. For the ancient Aztecs, she was Coyolxauhqui, the goddess dismembered by her brother, the sun god.

For many over the millennia, the moon has become almost an obsession. Tribes have danced beneath it in a hundred different rituals for a hundred different reasons. And both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine have prescribed bathing in the rays of clear moonlight as a treatment for healing, soothing, and cooling the body.

The moon is the master of the tides; its phases, whether waxing or waning, keep time through the seasons. From the hungry Wolf Moon of January to the plentiful Harvest Moon of September, each full moon marks our way through the year’s cycle. For those who truly feel the moon’s pull, a personalized piece of Moon Phase Wall Art, beautifully depicting just what phase the moon was in to mark a special occasion, makes an ideal present. Maybe the kind they’d be lucky to receive once in a blue moon!

Fly Me to the Moon 

Unlike the sun, which simply shines, the nature of the moon has always been more complex and intriguing. That seductive silver disc has forever been associated with love and romance, but the moon has always had a darker side too. Aside from the legend of the werewolf, madness was long thought to be caused by the moon, hence the term “lunatic,” which can even be found referenced in the gospels.

In fact, due to the synchronous rotation of the earth and its only satellite, 238,855 miles away, we really do only ever see one face of the moon, while its far, or dark, side remains forever obscured from view. Which only enhances the moon’s secretive allure.

For those passionate about astrology, the moon plays a vital role here. What most of us know as our star sign is our sun sign, but each of us has a “moon sign,” too. Astrologers believe that the moon’s location in the zodiac at the time of your birth is equally significant for determining your unique traits and personality. While your sun sign defines your basic preferences and sense of self, your moon sign describes your emotions and desires — the feelings below the surface.

If you’d like to learn more, you can discover your moon sign here.

For truly inspired gifts for moon lovers, what could be more thoughtful or satisfying than discovering their moon sign and encapsulating it in a beautiful piece of bespoke Zodiac Sign Art? It’s a wonderful way to reach a deeper discovery of astrological personality and a present sure to thrill every moon child out there, maybe especially those in the sign of Cancer, whose ruling planet is the moon.

If I Could, I’d Give You the Moon

We’ve taken our best shot at compiling a list of other inspiring moon gifts below to ensure that you don’t just please the lunar lover in your life — you give them a gift they’ll be over the moon about!

Enjoy the Beauty of the Moon All the Time with Moon Phase Wall Prints

There’s no denying that music and art share a deep connection. The two mediums are often entirely interchangeable for many devotees and professional practitioners of both. Great art and great music touch the soul in the same way. One that nearly all of us understand yet find equally hard to express.

The spine tingle we often receive when listening to a favorite track is delivered straight through the ears. But another crucial part of what makes music so special to us is the images it conjures. There’s a song that takes us all back to a specific time and place, replayed instantly in the mind’s eye — just as there’s music that makes our imagination soar to create new visions.

For those who live their lives to ever-evolving soundtracks — the folk that don’t just enjoy music but truly need its magic to survive — there’s real harmony in receiving a beautiful, entirely bespoke, music-related present. Finding gifts for a music lover you know well can be equally satisfying and creative.

That’s why we offer a selection of personalized gifts for music lovers and musicians alike. Striking wall prints that capture soundwaves, immortalize favorite lyrics, and synthesize the joy of art and the music you love in some extraordinary ways.  

1. Waves of Sentiment: Soundwave Prints for Music Lovers

You probably already know that Thomas Edison, a great American inventor, invented the phonograph (later known as the gramophone) in 1877. But did you know that Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, a French printer, created the Phonautograph, the first device capable of recording and visually depicting sound waves as they pass through the air, twenty years earlier?

Today, we’re used to seeing audio waveforms accompanying artists’ tracks on online music platforms like SoundCloud or music studio software such as Garageband. Visually expressing a song through its wave frequency and amplitude is a practical way to follow a song, or any recording, in real time to fulfill essential tasks like audio editing.

However, we think you’ll agree that the depiction of audio waveforms works equally well to form striking pieces of abstract art. Imagine taking a key moment from a family member’s favorite song, a special section of the romantic number that’s become “your tune,” or even a slice of an original track recorded by a loved one and their band, then transforming it into a graphically stylish wall-print, packed with personal meaning.

Couple this with extra options, such as adding text for titles, lyrics, and meaningful messages, and you have a unique opportunity to create artistic gifts for people who love music. These will surely be appreciated in the same timeless and unforgettable way as the music it represents.

Discover how to create your very own piece of Soundwave Art.

2. Celestial Symphonies: Star Maps for Heavenly Music

For any of us who’ve ever gazed up at the stars on a clear night, maybe even with a favorite song lilting gently in the background, it’s easy to understand why ancient Greeks, such as the philosopher Pythagoras, actually believed that the celestial bodies overhead made music as they arced across the heavens. They called the movement of the planets and stars “the music of the spheres,” a phrase so poetic and appropriate we remember it thousands of years later.

Music and the night sky share a deep affinity in our human psyche, chiming (no pun intended) in the same emotional range. So, if you’re searching for a gift with real meaning, why not marry both elements to create a wonderful, one-of-a-kind wall print?

Discover just how the heavens were spread overhead on the day a favorite song or album was released, the day you went to see the concert of a lifetime, or that little local gig that turned out to be the perfect first date. Showcase the arrangement of the night sky at that moment by making a Star Map. Personalize it with the appropriate text to mark the occasion, and enjoy your entirely personal cosmic connection to music, then immortalize it as a work of art.

3. Melodic Journeys: Maps for Musical Memories

Nothing captures that instant sense of nostalgia quite like music. Much of what makes a song so special — the very reason it ends up becoming a lifetime favorite — is that mysterious ability that music has to transport us back to a particular place and time.

With this in mind, what could make a more thoughtful gift for a music lover than artwork specifically designed to take them on a journey down their own musical memory lane? A Custom Map wall print is ideal for visually expressing this exciting sonic pilgrimage. 

A piece of cartography that works as a personalized music history could evoke a hundred memories just by highlighting the old music shop on the street where you bought your first guitar, the venue where you first saw your favorite band, or even the place where somebody played their very own gig for the first time.

No doubt there are many more examples of musical moments to map out and cherish, but what’s certain is that when it comes to finding gifts for music lovers, a music-inspired map is a stunning, imaginative way to let someone special travel back on a sentimental trip to recall their musical roots. 

4. A Wall of Sound: Photo Art That Captures a Magical Musical Moment

Of course, musicians of all ages often quickly build an archive of photographs, whether it’s pictures of them performing publicly or simply practicing at home. And if that’s the case with the music lover in your life, then a stunning piece of photo-led wall art will surely make their heart sing.

Pictures of friends or loved ones playing their instrument at various times in their lives, attending concerts, or even performing onstage will make a great starting point for a striking wall print. Still, there’s always the option to create a personalized visual symphony by building a montage that incorporates album cover artwork by their favorite performers, ticket stubs from gigs, and even scans of the star’s autographs.

Adding personalized text also means that, when it comes to finding gifts for music lovers, a piece of lovingly created Photo Wall Art could be the ideal solution — one that offers a beautiful, bespoke snapshot of your music lover’s life.

Gift Ideas That Are Music to Your Ears

We hope you feel inspired if you’re looking for personalized gifts for a music lover. Of all the occasions we buy presents for, the one we buy gifts for more than any other in the US is a birthday. Wall art for someone special with a passion for music is a great choice. You already know they’re someone with a creative mind, so they’re bound to appreciate anything artistic.

We believe wall art is an even stronger choice when it’s time to celebrate a music lover’s birthday, especially if you take a moment to do a little research to check if any significant musical events occurred on the same day, month, or even year they were born.

Did a classical composer write a famous symphony exactly a hundred years earlier? Did a band they grew to love release a classic album that same year? You can encapsulate such musical events to great effect in wall art — expressed in sound waves, cosmic maps, or a personalized photomontage.

If you still feel some further insight into the art of thoughtful gift-giving would be helpful, please check out our Guide to Buying Really Good Birthday Presents for some helpful extra tips and advice. In the meantime, whatever personalized gift you choose for the music lover in your life, we hope it fills them with delight by striking all the right chords.

It’s reasonable to suppose that astrology has existed in some form since humans stared up at those bright specks of silver adorning the night sky and gradually began to observe them moving in cycles.

The earliest recorded system of astrology discovered to date arose in ancient Babylon some 4,000 years ago. By the 5^th century BC, under Persian rule, Babylonian astronomers had divided the 360° circle of the sky into twelve equal 30° segments, each governed by a different constellation that the sun appeared to pass through over a year. And so the zodiac first came to be.

This method of cataloging the stars for use as a calendar for marking time and a method for divining future events was adopted in due course by the Greeks, and the word “horoscope” is formed from two Greek words translating as “observer of the hour.” By the second century AD, under the influence of the ancient scholar Ptolemy, who lived in Alexandria in Roman-ruled Egypt, the system had been refined to become the western form of astrology we’re familiar with today.

Ancient and mysterious yet so familiar, the twelve signs of the zodiac, a celestial kaleidoscope of animals, humans, and mythical beasts, still strike a chord in so many of us today. This proves that the allure, intrigue, and even romance of astrology endures.

In a recent YouGov poll, over a quarter (27%) of those surveyed said they are believers in astrology and the influence of the position of stars and planets on their daily lives. However, it appears this celestial cycle, beginning with Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and finally Pisces, remains familiar to almost everyone, even the skeptics, as it’s interesting to discover that 90% of Americans know which sign they were born under, whether they’re inclined to read their horoscopes or not.

The Allure of Astrological Gifts

There’s no doubt that personalized gift-giving has become one of the strongest growing spending trends to emerge in the last couple of years. And you don’t need to read the stars to see that it’s an expressive urge that’s only getting stronger. Many experts have theorized that after enduring a global pandemic, our collective need to reach out and connect in meaningful ways to acknowledge family, friends, and loved ones, even when separated, has become even more important to many of us.

A truly thoughtful, personalized gift is more than a mere acknowledgment or a cursory thank-you; it’s a wordless and enduring way of expressing just how much we care, which is why we’re lucky to have so many unique gift ideas with a personal spin to help inspire us when it comes to finding that special something for a special someone.

No wonder then that, in terms of selecting presents that surprise and delight, thanks to their personal touch, astrology-related and zodiac gifts remain some of the most popular. 

It’s easy to understand why. After all, what could be more uniquely meaningful than striking artwork depicting special events, such as where and when a romance began or a child was born, marked by a Map of the Stars or a Phase of the Moon Print for that magical night — or maybe just a beautiful piece of Zodiac Art depicting a special someone’s star sign? 

Such gifts are likely to be well received by the most artistic star signs, such as Pisces, passionate creatives like Leo, or real appreciators of style and beauty like the immaculate Virgo!

Great Gifts for Astrology Lovers

Suppose you have a certain someone in mind who’s simply starry-eyed about their connection to the cosmos or just curious about star signs in general. In that case, you’ll be glad to know there’s a sky full of opportunities to create some wonderfully personalized zodiac-related horoscope gifts.

To begin unlocking that potential, it might help to be aware that not only does each star sign have its particular personality traits but also its own birthstone, flower, and even spirit animal, as you’ll discover here.

 Personalized Zodiac Sign Prints

When you pick a fully customizable Zodiac Sign Art Print for a friend or loved one, you know you won’t be stuck for inspiration when creating something personalized and unique. Why not take a cue from a star sign’s birthstone color when it comes to color options? Maybe a rich amethyst purple for a conscientious Aquarius or the vibrant green or peridot for a confident Leo? There’s room for personalized text, too, to really help define who that special person is.

Personalized Star Map Prints

Make a gift of a customized Star Map Print, and someone will hang a piece of heaven on their wall! Stylish star maps are ideal for celebrating a birthday or marking a birth. A beautiful depiction of just how the stars were aligned at that very moment, they’re perfect for other sentimental occasions, such as a fateful first meeting or a wonderful wedding day.

Personalized Moon Phase Map Prints

As with the stars, so with the mysterious moon, the jewel of the night sky. And where the moon was in the heavens is as important for discovering personal traits through the horoscope as our sun sign. Our moon sign describes our inner life of emotions, feelings, and desires. Discover your moon sign here.

 Moon Map Prints make a bold and beautiful piece of graphic art, letting you recreate that mysterious lunar connection by discovering the phase of the moon at a significant event. Maybe you met under a waxing crescent or proposed beneath an almost full moon.

 Personalized “Where We Met” Map Prints

Of course, astrology gifts and zodiac-inspired artworks are an ideal choice as meaningful presents marking the birth of a new arrival. Still, they can also make a wonderfully romantic memento. 

Some astrologers might suggest that the geographic location of a significant event can also have an influence. This can tie into the idea of geomancy, where the energies of a particular place are believed to affect the experiences and interactions that occur there. In the context of a “Where We Met” Map, considering the astrological aspects of that location could add another layer of meaning to the memory being celebrated. Customizable text will let you remember the location of your first meeting and what was happening high in the celestial sphere as the stars in the zodiac gazed down on a blossoming romance.

How to Choose the Perfect Horoscope Gift

Great gifts for astrology lovers have the versatility to commemorate all types of significant events, whether it’s a birth, a marriage, or simply recollecting a special, sentimental moment.

Yet, with a range of equally striking options to choose from, how will you select the ideal astrology gift for that special someone? In answer, there probably couldn’t be a better time to look to the heavens!

For instance, the twelve sun signs of the zodiac are grouped into four further elemental groups: earth, air, fire, and water. Discover your star sign’s specific element here. It may be worth considering that the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces all express traits governed by lunar energy, so they might appreciate a Moon Phase Map more than most.

The most imaginative zodiac signs, such as Aquarius and Sagittarius, may just love staring at a sky full of stars hung on the wall. For the signs regarded by astrologers as the most romantic, such as Leo and Libra, what could be better than a delicious Double Star Map Print, allowing you and a loved one to show your place in the heavens and the special synastry (the unique compatibility between different star signs) that you share? It’s a gift that will work just as well for astrology-loving best friends or even close relatives.

The super-practical earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo may well enjoy the aesthetically pleasing functionality of an astrologically Customized Map Art, and all 12 will surely not be disappointed with a classic, bespoke piece of Zodiac Sign Art.

Take It as a Sign

With so many choices and creative potential for personalized gift-giving to those with a passion and fascination for astrology, it’s just as well that each star sign’s unique personality is there to guide and inspire. And if you’re feeling fired up with enthusiasm for creating a truly exceptional astrology gift for a special someone, then, just maybe, you’re a Leo, Cancer, Virgo, or Aquarius — widely regarded as the zodiac’s most generous signs!

That means finding personalized treasures reflecting the couple’s journey in a meaningful way without breaking the bank.

Even just casual chats where he mentions enjoying something can reveal potential gift ideas.

Make it a habit to keep a running list of the hobbies, interests, and preferences he shares with you.

With this inside information, you’ll have a treasure trove of ideas to inspire exceptional gifts he’ll be thrilled to receive.

2. Heartfelt Gifts That Speak Volumes

Sometimes, the most precious gifts are those that come straight from the heart. Consider thoughtful gestures like custom-made jewelry engraved with your special nicknames or a scrapbook brimming with your cherished memories. Handwritten love letters and mixtapes featuring “your song” can also make his heart flutter.

Such sentimental gifts convey “I love you” in a way that store-bought items simply can’t match. They serve as a beautiful reminder that your bond is truly unique. So, get ready to get started on a sentimental journey that will leave both of you teary-eyed!

Reflect on meaningful moments in your relationship that you can commemorate in a gift. Think about inside jokes, cute pet names, or cherished memories you share and how you can incorporate them creatively. Sentimental gifts like a Where We Met Map with a personal touch will feel extra special because they highlight your unique bond.

Even if you’re not crafty, you can make simple boyfriend gifts from the heart. Write love notes recalling favorite memories and the feelings they sparked. Make playlists of songs with significance in your relationship. Find creative ways to compile photos from special occasions into a scrapbook or photo book. The thoughtfulness you put into sentimental gifts speaks volumes.

3. Exciting Experiences and Adventures as Gifts

Experiences make for fantastic gifts for boyfriends! Imagine his surprise when you present him with tickets to see his favorite band or plan a weekend getaway to a place he’s always wanted to visit. The memories you create together during these experiences are truly priceless.

Engaging in activities together not only strengthens your bond but also gives you stories to reminisce about for years to come. To add an extra personal touch, consider commemorating your sports outing with a custom stadium map of the special location. He’ll be deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture about his favorite team!

Think about upcoming concerts, events, or exhibits related to his interests that would make for a thrilling surprise gift. Or consider a weekend trip to a new destination that caters to his hobbies and passions. Experiential gifts offer you both the gift of lasting memories! And if it’s a location that’s truly close to both of your hearts, a customized city map highlighting your favorite city spots is absolutely perfect.

Even smaller, specially planned outings or activities can be memorable gifts too. Cook his favorite meal together while listening to his favorite music. Have an indoor picnic surrounded by photographs of your best times together. Do an arts and crafts date night or binge-watch shows featuring his favorite actor. With a little creativity, everyday moments can become extraordinary gifts!

4. Personalized Prints That Capture Memories

Speaking of custom maps, personalized prints make for fabulous boyfriend gifts! These prints can be further personalized with adorable photos and heartfelt messages, making the gift even more meaningful. With so many options available, you’re bound to find the perfect print that will make his heart flutter!

Think through special dates, song lyrics, inside jokes, or loving nicknames that you can work into a custom print. You can even upload photos to include in the print for an extra personal touch.

For inspiration, you could do a map of where you went on your first date or a star map showing the constellations on the night you became official. There are so many creative ways to design personalized prints that perfectly capture the special memories you share.

5. Gifts for the Music-Loving Boyfriend

Is your boyfriend a music lover, always plugged into his headphones or playing his favorite tunes at home? Then Soundwave Art is a fantastic gift choice! These unique prints transform meaningful songs into visually stunning pieces of art.

Choose a special love song, his favorite band’s track, or a song tied to a significant memory. You can even add his name and birthdate for a personal touch! He’ll be over the moon to have your song immortalized in such a sentimental way.

Really consider songs that have a special meaning in your relationship when selecting one for soundwave art. Your first dance song, the tune playing during your first kiss, or even just a track you both love singing together would be perfect.

If you’re not sure which song to pick, make a shortlist of options, then subtly ask your boyfriend questions to determine which one is most meaningful. He’ll be amazed that you put so much thought into choosing a song that captures a poignant moment for you both.

6. Handmade Gifts That Showcase Your Creativity

Unleash your inner artist with DIY presents! Create personalized art or clothing, bake his favorite cookies, or design coupons for hugs or backrubs — the sky’s the limit when it comes to your creativity.

The time and effort you invest in handmade gifts are a testament to how much he means to you. Even if you’re not particularly artsy, the heartfelt effort will deeply touch him. So, grab your crafting supplies and let your creativity flow.

Even if you don’t consider yourself crafty, you can find easy DIY gift ideas to make just for him. Print some photos of you together and decorate a frame or album. Stitch together a blanket covered in fabric from places you’ve visited together. Bake his favorite treats and decorate the packaging.

It doesn’t have to be perfect – the care you put into a homemade gift will mean more to him than something store-bought. Not feeling creative? You can always customize something like a personalized photo gift or by embellishing pre-made items with personal touches. However you decide to do it, a DIY gift highlights your unique relationship.

7. Small Surprises That Make a Big Impact

Sometimes, it’s the small gestures that leave a lasting impact when it comes to gifts. Surprise your man by planning his dream date night or cooking his favorite meal under the soft glow of candlelight. Or, leave sweet notes in unexpected places for him to find throughout his day.

Pay attention to what brings him joy and incorporate these little surprises into your routine. He’ll feel incredibly loved knowing you put in that extra thought and effort just for him.

Little thoughtful surprises are a great way to show your boyfriend you care regularly. Bring him his favorite takeout after a bad day at work. Slip sweet notes under his pillow or in his wallet to find later. Let him catch you wearing his favorite shirt of his.

Surprising him with his favorite candy bar or a sudden kiss can instantly lift his mood too. Listen for subtle mentions of things he enjoys so you can turn them into impromptu surprises. Your thoughtfulness will make him feel extra appreciated.

8. (Gift) Wrapping Up

Finding the perfect gift for your boyfriend may seem daunting at first, but with a little thought and creativity, you can uncover a plethora of great ideas. Sentimental, personalized presents not only show how much you care but also make him feel truly appreciated.

Updated August 2023

Gift-giving for new parents can be quite a challenge. You want to show your love and support for the new journey they’ve just embarked on. But you also know that they’re juggling a million new things, and telling you they want a sentimental gift for new parents usually doesn’t fall high on the priority list.

While there are obvious choices like clothes and toys, personalized gifts for new moms and dads are sure to stand out among the others. They’re more creative than your standard registry items and tend to be things that new parents would never think to ask for themselves.

Use these thoughtful gift ideas to take the guesswork out of buying sentimental gifts for new parents.

Buying a Gift for New Parents? Avoid These Common Mistakes

Before we dive into specific options, let’s clear up some of the most common mistakes people make when buying a gift for new moms and dads.

Buying a Gift Before the Baby’s Arrival

It’s a classic move to stock up on baby items before the baby arrives. This way, new parents have everything they need to care for their little ones. However, no parent can truly think of everything, and there’s a good chance they’ll discover many things they’ve overlooked. It’s a good idea to wait until after the baby is born so you can find out what the parents need but didn’t get at their baby shower.

Opting For Overly Basic Items

There’s no doubt that all babies need diapers, clothes, personal care items, and toys. And if you like a safe bet, you’re probably not the only one. Too often, parents are overwhelmed with basics while other needs go unmet. This is another advantage of waiting until after the baby comes — by this time, they’ll have gone through and returned any unnecessary items and can focus on what they need.

Purchasing Items They May Not Be Able to Use

Clothes, diapers, and seasonal items pose many challenges, specifically when it comes to sizing. In some cases, new parents may be unable to use the items due to seasonality or sizing.

While practical gifts are essential and undoubtedly appreciated, a personalized keepsake holds unparalleled emotional value. It symbolizes the profound love and thoughtfulness invested in creating a unique memento that captures the essence of their child’s birth or a cherished moment. Unlike traditional items that may be outgrown or replaced, a sentimental gift becomes a timeless treasure, telling the story of their baby’s arrival and the overwhelming joy that accompanied it.

Find the Best Sentimental Gifts for New Parents at Positive Prints

New parents want to savor every special moment with their bundle of joy. You can help them remember the details in a unique gift designed to last and be enjoyed for years to come.

Our birth posters, moon phases posters, and custom star maps are one-of-a-kind gifts that will surprise and delight any new parent. They’re inexpensive and easy to create, and while you might not find them on any baby registry, you can take comfort in knowing you’ve given the new parents in your life a gift of a lifetime.

And that’s the beauty of it — these one-of-a-kind gifts hold timeless significance. They stand out amidst the sea of baby items, making a lasting impact on the hearts of new parents and becoming cherished family heirlooms as the years go by.

Birth Poster

No parent forgets the day their child enters the world. It’s an extraordinary moment that etches itself into their hearts forever, marking the beginning of a new journey for the whole family. As they cradle their tiny newborn in their arms, they realize how fragile and precious life can be. However, those early moments of their baby’s life pass by all too swiftly. That’s why a custom birth poster is a perfect way to commemorate these moments and help parents remember just how little their little ones used to be.

A birth poster from Positive Prints is a special keepsake that can hang in their home for years, even as their child grows up. 

Our posters beautifully display the baby’s weight and length, providing a heartwarming touchstone to commemorate their birth statistics. But it doesn’t end there. You have the freedom to personalize each poster with the baby’s name and other details, ensuring it perfectly captures the essence of the little one.

The beauty of our custom birth posters lies not only in their artistic charm but in their timeless appeal. As your child grows, these posters continue to hold a special place in your home, gracefully reminding you of those precious early days. The love and joy that filled your heart on their birth day will come rushing back with just one glance.

Moon Phases Poster

With a similar sentiment to the birth poster, our moon phases posters create a replica of the moon on the date of your choice. 

For new parents, our moon phase posters are the perfect way for new parents to capture the celestial magic of the night their little one made their grand entrance into the world.

Just like our beloved birth posters, our moon phases posters are crafted with love and attention to detail. We recreate a replica of the moon on the date of your choice, making it a truly sentimental and unique gift. Imagine the joy on the faces of new parents as they gaze at the moon that adorned the sky on the night their precious bundle was born. It’s like a cosmic connection to that extraordinary moment in time!

With Positive Prints, personalization is key. Each moon phase poster is tailored specifically to your selected date and location, ensuring absolute accuracy. And the customization doesn’t stop there — you get to choose from an array of captivating color schemes, poster sizes, and whether you prefer portrait or landscape orientation. It’s all about creating a harmonious and stunning addition to the baby’s nursery or any room in the house. Each time the new parents look at their moon phase print, they can travel back in time to one of the greatest nights of their lives.

Star Map Poster

Lastly, our custom star map posters are a favorite sentimental gift for new parents. Just like our enchanting moon phases poster, our star maps beautifully depict the night sky on the very moment their little bundle of joy came into the world. It’s a celestial celebration of their child’s birth, connecting them to the vast wonders of the universe.

Just like all our prints, our custom star map posters are created with exquisite attention to detail. Each map is customized to the exact date, time, and location of the birth. It’s a heartfelt representation of the unique moment when a new star was born — their little one!

Imagine gazing at the stars, knowing they were aligned just for your child on that momentous night. It’s a feeling of wonder and love that words can hardly capture. With Positive Prints’ custom star map posters, you’re creating a timeless and meaningful memento, a testament to the beauty of life’s most significant moments.

So, whether you’re looking to celebrate the birth of your own child or searching for a heartfelt gift for new parents, our star maps are a brilliant choice.

Get started creating your personalized prints today and give new parents a keepsake they can treasure forever.
