Your Notes
Description
Life rarely runs in a straight line. It bends, slows down, picks up speed and carries you places you never planned to go. The Journey Map follows 2 to 9 of your places along a winding river, each one drawn from a vintage map of where it happened.
A natural fit for lake houses, coastal towns and river cities, and a meaningful gift for anniversaries, retirements or any journey of a lifetime.
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.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 786 reviews.
From the beginning of ordering this to gifting it, the process was so smooth! The seller did a great job communicating throughout the designing of it and once it was shipped. It arrived right on time and it was exactly as described! Such a cool way of displaying travel history!
This is the perfect gift for my fiancée, I can’t wait for him to open it! The options and customer service are all great. I will be back to purchase from this shop again.
Came out more beautifully than expected! I was worried that the resolution on canvas would not be as clear. It came out really well, makes a wonderful memento for the trip of a lifetime! Communication with seller was excellent.
Arrived in perfect condition and on time. Beautifully done.
So great to work with. I asked for a few adjustments with the proof and they were right on it! Super thrilled!! Sent the download to Walgreens for framing on canvas only bc it was a little faster after the holidays. But it's a client closing gift. I'm a Realtor and my clients bought their third home with me. Will be ordering again!!
Great idea for our friends’ 50th anniversary. They loved it. Maps are beautiful and it’s such a unique and highly personalized gift. Quick turnaround. Excellent quality of framing as well.
I got this as a gift for my dad and he just loves it! Great quality work, done quickly and beautifully!
Gorgeous item! Perfect for my sisters wedding. Shipping was slower than I had hoped but end result was great.
The team at Custom Family Gifts was extremely responsive. Revisions were taken care of right away. My friend LOVED her gift. I would definitely order from them again. Highly recommend!
High quality maps, exactly as requested. Thank you!
Custom map came out wonderful for a gift. It is unique and creative personal touch, I highly recommend this.

Exactly as described, very nice gift idea.
Great experience from start to finish and it looks great, produced exactly as ordered. Thank you!

I ordered this as a gift for my husband who has dementia but hasn't lost all his memory yet. He loves maps so this seemed like it would be perfect and it is! Stirred up many memories and stories about the places we've lived and visited together. The quality is excellent, seller responded quickly to my questions and although there was a slight delay in printing (perhaps due to Christmas rush) the seller made it as right as they could and expedited shipping once it was ready. I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

Easy to work with. They supplied a proof for approval prior to printing to ensure accuracy.
Greatly appreciated the personal customer service and options given.
Great gift. My husband loved it!

It’s a nice quality product.
This sellers communication was expedient and transparent. The piece came out beautifully and just as I expected but I was more impressed by the sellers communication… giving me a proof to approve first before finalizing the piece. Peter (the seller was so accommodating) when I needed to make changes and I am eager to give it to my husband for our anniversary.
Great gift for a loved one!
It came out incredible, thank you guys so much! My wife loves it couldn’t recommend more!
The way the maps were laid out didn't make sense to me, and in the end, I still messed up the placement on two of them. They were so accommodating with my request for the icons used, coloring, and the location on the maps. It's a belated wedding gift that I know they are going to love as much as I do.
The customer service was excellent from the designers. Very pleased.
This was a great gift for our 15 year anniversary. We are a military family and have lived in a total of 8 different cities in the past 15 years! Customer service was great as well. They adjusted the maps to my liking, moving them over and trying to include cities important to us during that time in our life. Thank you!!

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.
