This was one of the best gifts I ever ordered for anyone! As beautiful as the proofs were, it looked so much better in person! It’s such a unique and thoughtful gift and I recommend this a thousand times over!! Plus, customer service was AWESOME! They communicated the whole way through- even when my email wasn’t working they worked with me through text! They never skipped a beat and I got my map in good timing. Great business!!

Your Notes
Description
Some places hold more than memories. The first apartment, the town where you said yes, the house where the kids took their first steps. The Heart Map gathers up to 6 of those places into a single heart, each section cut from a vintage map of that exact spot.
A romantic gift for anniversaries, weddings and Valentine’s Day, or for the mother whose love knows no distance.
This is a personalized artwork. Each order is custom tailored to your story and no two orders are the same.
Our work is not computer generated, but has a real turnaround time with a proof and approval process to make sure your artwork is exactly what you wanted.

This canvas print was beautiful and the recipients loved it!! What a beautiful idea for two or more worlds coming together!
I bought one of these customized map pictures for my daughter for Christmas. The sellers were super helpful in the customization- sending me a proof and then adjusting it per my requests.

The proof arrived timely and so did the final product. It was beautifully done.
The item was as described. The proof arrived timely as did the final digital product. It was very well done
I got an instant size (16x16) so if you get that size have them frame it as frames are hard to find. Over all great outcome.
We are extremely impressed & pleased with the gift for our son & daughter! We know they’ll love it., Workmanship, attention to detail are top notch!? My only regret is that I didn’t order a larger size. We will purchase more in the future. Thank You very much!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't like my artwork?
You get to see your artwork as proofs before it's printed. Anytime before approval you can request a refund if you do not want to proceed.
No questions asked.
Can I order additional copies?
Yes, identical or near identical copies are offered at cost. We only charge for printing and shipping for additional copies. Just ask.
What work goes into my artwork?
We do research on all your locations - pulling up many options for each place so we can balance and match the set.
We try our hardest not to repeat similar colors or styles next to each other, and as the map count goes up, that balancing act gets more and more difficult.
Special attention is paid to the text that you provide, we will position and balance or even embellish the artwork to make it really pop.
Can I use a photo instead of a map?
Yes, any of our "map sections" work perfectly well with photos. We offer color correction and light image manipulation such as removing unwanted details at no extra charge.
What if I need additional copies?
For copies, or very similar prints (varying the text by a bit, for example) we charge only the cost of printing.
If you have a digital copy you're also free to reproduce it as many times as you want.
Can I get it by [date]?
Because of our unlimited revision policy, and the variable nature of shipping, it's difficult give exact dates for delivery. Though we are very good at estimating. Tell us your dates and we'll do our best to pull the right strings to make it work.
What if my place is tiny or remote?
Over the years there have only been a handful of locations we've been unable to map. For the vast majority of places, we have multiple map options.
Whether it's remote, small, or obscure, I bet you we can find a map for it.
Can I ship directly to the recipient?
Yes, we can also include a gift note so your loved ones know who sent them this awesome gift.
Do you ship internationally?
Canada, definitely. Rest of the world, please ask. In the current year, it's often times much easier to order digital and arrange for a local print shop to take over.
Can I make changes to my order?
Yes! Add or remove locations even after you've placed your order.
Change locations, add or alter text. We can even switch designs. Just ask.
Can I make copies myself?
Yes! You are free to reproduce your copy of the artwork, as many times as you want. We claim no rights to your specific artwork.
Where do I print my digital files?
Prints can be done at FedEx Office, Office Depot, or any local print shop. Many stores accept emailed files for pickup when ready. Ready-to-hang same day prints can be found at Walmart Photo and many pharmacies.
Call first.
Should I pet the badger I found?
No, please call your local animal control.
