The place where it all began, in 3D

The café, the pub, the campus, the street corner. Turn the place where you met into a framed 3D map with the exact spot marked by a heart, and your own words printed underneath.

Framed custom 3D printed street map of Dublin marking O'Dwyer's pub, where a couple met

A map of your story, not just a place

Most couples remember exactly where it started, down to the corner of the room. A where-we-met map captures that place as a real object: the streets around it in raised relief, the river or the coast nearby, and a heart standing proud of the map right on the spot.

Underneath, a small pedestal carries your title and the coordinates of the place, worked out for you. Some people write the name of the pub, some write the date, some write something only the two of you will understand.

Perfect for anniversaries, Valentine's and proposals

It works as a first anniversary present, a Valentine's gift that is not another bunch of flowers, or the backdrop for a proposal: the place where you met next to the place where you said yes. You can mark up to three spots, so the first date, the first home and the wedding venue can all share one map.

See it before you buy

You design it yourself in our online designer. Search for the place, frame the area, write your title and drop the heart where it belongs. The map is built in 3D right there in your browser, exactly as we will print it, so there are no surprises when it arrives. We print it in our Dublin workshop in white and black, frame it and post it worldwide.

Questions

Can I mark the exact spot where we met?

Yes. In the designer you tap the map to place a heart, a pin or a star, up to three of them. They are printed in black and stand out from the map, with a small white border around them so they are easy to see.

We met abroad. Can you still make it?

Yes, any place in the world. The map data comes from OpenStreetMap and covers every country, and we ship worldwide from Ireland.

How big is it?

There are two sizes, 10 × 15 cm (€49.50) and 20 × 25 cm (€74.50), both framed and ready to hang. The large one shows more streets in more detail.

How long does it take?

We check every design by hand and normally post it within 4 to 6 business days of your order. Delivery time then depends on where it is going: a few days in Ireland, one to two weeks to most other countries.
