After the year you two have been through, a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates just isn’t going to cut it. So this Valentine’s Day, put the “special” back in your special day as a couple with a gorgeous, personalized map of the course of your love and life together.
And when we say “map,” we mean it literally.
Grafomap — that company you’ve heard about that crafts frame-worthy, customized map prints — is your key to surprising your significant other with a truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime Valentine’s gift that will become a family treasure for a lifetime, or even generations to come.
Remind your loved one about the important places in your relationship, from the birthplace of the love that binds you together to the cities your children were born. More than just a chart of latitude and longitude, a Grafomap map is a way to celebrate not only the places you belong but the ways you belong to each other. These maps are your secret code to each other to spark the feelings at the heights of your time together — from holding hands on the Seine that weekend in Paris to the seeming lows that turned out to be important turning points, like that disastrous camping trip in the Smoky Mountains that served as the now-hilarious backdrop to your proposal. In other words, these maps are a way to remind yourselves where, and how, you put down roots together. Even better, you can get 20% off with code LOVE until February 14.
And because of Grafomap’s artisanal-level designs and nearly endless ways to customize your selection, you’re not just sticking a gas station street map in a frame and nailing it to a wall; you’re creating a true and unique piece of art that the two of you, and only the two of you, can tailor to the aesthetics of your living room, office, kitchen or elsewhere in your home. It can be a wall print, a poster or even a multiprint gift that traces the milestones of your relationship, from the cute little neighborhood in your hometown where you had your first date to your honeymoon in Tahiti. You can even make your personalized pieces wearable — why not make cute matching T-shirts that make it clear to everyone where each of your hearts lies?
Just think about the possibilities for that touching map that will make his or her heart flutter like the first time you kissed by that fountain in Centennial Park: where you had your first date, the apartment where you moved in together, the garden where you got engaged, the lakeside estate where you got married, the first house that you owned where you welcomed your first child… The possibilities are as endless — and nuanced — as your love for each other.
Luckily, you don’t need cartographer-level skills to put it all together. Grafomap does all the hard work for you, then lets you breathe your own artistic spirit into the project. All you have to do is type in the location you want to map, decide on the scale you want to portray by zooming in or out, pick from the many styles of visual (from retro to super modern) and text (if you want it), then choose the material you want the map on, from paper to canvas to metal. Grafomap utilizes 12-color printing tech and high-grade 200-gram-per-square-meter paper, and even provides a nice array of frames to house your final image. It’s a fast and easy-to-use process on your end, and Grafomap’s streamlined production and efficiencies mean it can afford to keep prices down.
The important events in our lives are by their very nature ephemeral, and even the places we experience them change like the laugh lines on the faces of lifelong friends. But the memories will come back to you like yesterday every time you and your significant other look upon that piece of art from Grafomap that you gifted this Valentine’s Day.
