Howaya! If you’ve landed here, you’re likely thinking ‘What is that map yoke they’ve been banging on about‘.
In a nutshell:
- It’s a high quality, detailed, watercolour map of Ireland that you can personalise
- You can pick & choose what landmarks it shows + include the route you took on your road trip, if you like
- It was created ‘digitally’ by an artist & looks like it’s been hand-painted, just for you, when printed
A gift that’ll spark memories, conversation & plenty of ‘Ahh, remember when we…’
This map isn’t a regular stocking filler.
It’s not the type of thing they’ll open, smile at and then tuck away at the side of the couch to gather dust.
It’s unique to the recipient.
And thanks to the watercolour design & the museum quality paper it’s printed on, it has an OH-WOOOOW! factor when opened.
Then it gets framed and hung.
And for years to come, it’ll spark memories, stop people in their tracks and fire up conversation about adventures and days past.

Ordering your custom map is dead handy.
The first step, when the website launches on November 9th, is to select your map.
There’s 2 to choose from (info below).
You’ll then be asked to pick the landmarks you want on your map & pop in some other information that’ll make it personal to you or the recipient.

- Step 2: You receive a picture of your map to review within 24 hours (If you want some changes, that’s no hassle, we’ll make them)
- Step 3: When you’re happy, we’ll send the design to our printer in Sligo
- Step 5: You receive a little tube with your custom map printed on thick, fancy paper
- Step 6: You/they have a ‘God, that looks deadly‘ moment
