Absolutely gorgeous piece! Love the concept behind it and the quality of the craftsmanship. The creators were very responsive and patient with the numerous changes I made to style the perfect gift for my boyfriend. And it arrived in time for Valentine's Day. EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. They knocked it out of the park! 10/10 highly recommend!

Your Notes
Description
Some stories are told in miles. The cross-country move, the summer you drove the coast, every small town you stopped in just because. The Wanderlust Map lines up 3 to 9 of your places along an open road, each one cut from a vintage map of that exact stretch.
Made for road trippers and anyone who believes life is better traveled together. Hang it beside the Journey Map for a matching road-and-river pair.
This is a personalized artwork. Each order is custom tailored to your story and no two orders are the same.

My husband was delighted with this gift for our 50th wedding anniversary! Ordering process was seamless and communication was amazing. I highly recommend if you want a very special and unique gift. 5+ stars!
Its perfection! My hubby will be thrilled at Christmas. The maps capture such important family memories. Seller was super communicative and even checked to be sure it was received. Will order again!
I gifted this to my husband on the morning of our wedding! What a creative way to highlight specific locations that played an important part in our journey together. He loved it. Thank you!
We absolutely love this! It was an anniversary gift for my husband, of our honeymoon trip. It's the perfect piece to celebrate an incredibly fun and memorable start to our marriage. It's so beautiful! It came quickly, was packaged with care, and Peter made sure everything was correct before having it made. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this shop. Go check it out!
It is exactly what it was supposed to be, made a great gift.
Makes a perfect thoughtful gift.
Just a wonderful, unique gift idea. My wife loved it!

It is beautifully done! Perfect gift!
The print turned out beautifully—exactly as pictured and just what I was hoping for. The shop went above and beyond with communication, sending multiple proofs and checking in to make sure every detail was perfect. They were incredibly easy to reach, with quick and thoughtful responses throughout. Shipping was fast, packaging was lovely, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I’d absolutely recommend this shop and piece to others for the fantastic craftsmanship, accommodating service, and smooth experience from start to finish. My photo doesn't do it justice--waiting for a nice frame so this is just holding it for now.
I'm thankful they offer a proof, I caught a mistake I made, and the seller quickly corrected it. Easy to work with.

The render came out with great quality! Really liked the design and customer service was great! The owner was in constant communication through every step! Only downside was the shipping but that wasn’t on the Etsy store but on their manufacture. Once that became evident, the owner offer me a refund for the difference going from the physical form to a digital form. Very impressed with this Etsy store and owner! Thanks again would recommend!
Great communication with the seller. Very easy to work with and made the minor edits I requested to the proof very quickly. The project exceeded my expectations and my husband was very happy with our 23rd wedding anniversary gift!!!
This item is exactly as described. The seller made adjustments as needed to the wording and was very responsive.
Great gift for our anniversary of a marriage that has seen lots of moves. Artists are fast and found some interesting maps to use for our piece. Very satisfied and am enjoying this unique picture of our road traveled. Highly recommend!
Absolutely Beautiful and the customer service was excellent!
This was a wonderful anniversary gift for my husband. He absolutely loved it!
Seller gave me 3 proofs to review and choose. Confirmed final before making. Excellent customer service
This was the perfect gift!
Peter & Pepper were willing to work with me till we came up with an end product that worked! I can't wait to gift it to my friend, it will surely be loved and treasured!
I will say the customer service was impeccable. The product is amazing. Thank you for making this gift so memorable.
Super fast turnaround despite the one change request I had. Awesome support, would absolutely buy again. My husband, despite not being a huge fan of "signs", absolutely loved it as an anniversary present.
From start to finish this seller was actively engaged keeping me updated all the way. Everything was done in a very timely manner and actually much quicker than I expected. I was prepared to give my gift after the occasion if need be, but instead I got to give it 2 days early! This was a 30th anniversary gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They were both very impressed and really like it. That's saying a lot because they're not that easy to impress! 🙂 They like unique things and they found this very unique and personal. Definitely recommend!

Great looking gift! Thank you for easy communication, fast shipping and a beautiful piece!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!! Great quality and would absolutely order from them again.
I purchased from this company before to note our world wide travels and have loved it. So when I wanted to memorialize our national park visits, returned to this company. The communications from them was excellent to make sure they understood my order. It is lovely and I look forward to adding it to my travel collection. Thank you.
Super easy to work with and made the perfect adjustments.
They were responsive to the changes I made and it arrived sooner than expected. It looks great!

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.
