Why this gift works
A print of the stars as they appeared over a specific place on a specific date - the night you met, a wedding day, a child's birth. It is astronomy doing sentiment's job: the arrangement is real and calculable, which is what stops it feeling like a greeting card.
It is one of the more reliable romantic gifts because it is personal without being embarrassing, and it ends up on a wall rather than in a drawer. Works for anniversaries, weddings and new babies equally well.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Couples marking an anniversary or a wedding
- New parents, for a birth date
- People who keep meaningful keepsakes
- Someone who likes personal wall art
Think twice if
- You are not sure of the exact date or place
- They have no wall space or little interest in decor
The catch
Personalized prints are non-returnable, so the date, place and spelling have to be right first time - and most arrive unframed, so budget for a frame.
Skip if you are unsure of the significant date, or for someone with no wall space or interest in decor.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Personalized prints are non-returnable - check the date, place and spelling before ordering.
- Most arrive unframed, so budget for a frame.
Why we like it
- Personal without being embarrassing
- The star positions are real and calculated, not a decorative pattern
- It ends up on a wall rather than in a drawer
- One idea that works for anniversaries, weddings and new babies
