Generic anniversary gifts are forgettable. A where we met map is specific: the café corner, the campus quad, the street where someone said yes.
Just Map Print turns that place into a print-ready poster — live preview, optional free watermarked download, then $12 for a clean multi-size pack you can print the same night.

Who this gift is for
- Anniversaries (1st month through “we forgot which year”)
- Valentine’s / “just because”
- Long-distance couples who want the same place on both walls
- Engagement stories that started somewhere ordinary
If the story is really about a new address, switch presets: New home map print or Housewarming map print.
For the main product keyword: Custom map print.
What to put on the print
Keep the map loud and the words quiet.
Headline ideas
- Where we met
- The place it began
- [City] · [Year]
- First coffee · First yes
- A private nickname only you two use
Subline ideas
- The date (2021.06.12)
- Café / venue name
- “Still our favourite corner”
Marker
A heart or simple pin works. Huge stickers fight the streets — leave room for the grid.
Crop
- Too tight: only roof shapes, no recognisable streets.
- Too wide: whole metro area, feels like a generic city poster.
- Sweet spot: the block + one landmark (park, river, campus gate) they would recognise in a second.
Make it in the editor (tonight)
- Go to Where we met map — heart marker / “where we met” preset is ready.
- Search the place (venue name, intersection, or “near [landmark]”).
- Pan and zoom until the crop feels like your memory, not a tourist map.
- Edit headline and subline; try a classic or muted map style if you want a quieter gift.
- Download a free watermarked preview if you want approval from a friend (or yourself after sleep).
- Unlock for $12 → print 11×14 / A3 for most frames, or see the full list in Custom map print sizes.

Two prints, one story (long-distance tip)
Unlock once, send the files to both of you. Same crop on two walls — cheaper than shipping a tube across borders, and you can each pick a local frame size from the pack.

Common mistakes (easy to avoid)
- Wrong pin — double-check the map before you pay; streets look similar at night in memory.
- Too much text — long quotes belong on a card, not across the map.
- Shop “fit to page” — ask for actual size / 100% so the aspect ratio stays true.
FAQ
Can I use a nickname instead of the real street name?
Yes. The headline is editable; the map still shows real streets underneath.
Do you ship a physical print?
No — digital download so you can print locally tonight.
Can I make a housewarming version too?
Yes — same product family: start at Housewarming map print.
