1. Star Maps: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
When capturing the magic and wonder of a specific moment in time, nothing quite compares to a personalized star map. This beautiful gift combines the celestial magnificence of the night sky with the joyous occasion of a baby’s christening or baptism.
Imagine presenting the parents with a stunning visual representation of the stars and constellations that adorned the sky on the night of their baby’s birth or baptism.

The star map is fully customizable, allowing you to select the date, time, and location of the baby’s birth or christening.

Additionally, you can add a personalized message, such as the baby’s name and birthdate, plus a heartfelt note or religious quote.
2. Moon Maps: Symbolizing New Beginnings
As the moon gracefully illuminates the night sky, it holds a special place in our hearts and imaginations. With a personalized moon map, you can give an enchanting christening gift capturing the ethereal beauty of the moon’s phase on the night of the baby’s birth.
Each moon phase carries unique symbolism and energy, making this gift visually captivating and imbued with astrological significance.
It’s fascinating how different cultures have myths and folklore surrounding the influence of the moon phase at the time of a child’s birth. They say children born during a full moon possess heightened intuition and leadership qualities, while those born during a new moon may have hidden potential and transformative energy. The waxing moon phase is associated with growth and abundance, and children born then may be seen as inclined towards progress. On the other hand, the waning moon phase is linked to introspection and wisdom.
So, whether that little bundle of joy entered the world under a new moon symbolizing new beginnings or a full moon radiating abundance and illumination, a moon map becomes a timeless reminder of their magical arrival. As with all our prints, the moon map can be customized to accurately depict the moon’s phase for the specific date and location of the baby’s birth.
You can choose from different styles, such as a framed poster or canvas print, and in various styles and colors to complement any decor, making it a delightful addition to the baby’s nursery or home. Additionally, you can include the baby’s name and birth details or a note to guide them on their spiritual path.
With a personalized moon map, you’re not just giving a visually spectacular gift but also a connection to the celestial rhythms of the universe. It will inspire wonder in the baby as they grow, nurturing their curiosity and appreciation for the natural world around them. So, celebrate that little one’s journey under the moon and stars with this truly magical gift.
