First Birthday Bespoke Keepsake map

When we started Bespoke Gift Maps we never really considered repeat customers, We imagined that clients would just get married once, or celebrate a 50th Birthday once but we were mistaken, our clients have more imagination and creative thought than maybe ourselves.

Take for instance MC in Dublin, she commissioned a wedding present earlier in the year, a map of her two friends lives in Paris, where they met, where they lived and where they had great times together. Everyone loved the special gift map especially MC who came back recently with a request for her niece's First Birthday present. So much more special than a cuddly toy. In this we mapped her first year in Dublin, not that she can appreciate it now but in years to come Ruth can look back at the map and say, "Auntie, why a kangaroo?"

MC also wrote some words about the experience-

"I have commissioned two maps from www.bespokegiftmaps.co.uk and couldn't
be happier with them. Both maps have made the most wonderful and original
gifts, and I have subsequently recommended the site to family and friends.
Michael has been a delight to deal with; he is helpful, creative and
produces truly beautiful art (in no time at all!). I will be back time and
again for gifts for special occasions. Thank you!"

Thank You MC

Bespoke Walking Map



Sometimes it best just to let the client do the talking -


"Earlier this year, a group of six of us walked the Coast to Coast. As a memento of the walk, I wanted to have a map drawn, to show where we had been.


I contacted Michael at Bespoke Gift Maps to ask if this was something that he would do. I was not sure about exactly what I wanted so he asked for details of the walk and what we had done. I directed him to a blog that we had kept whilst we had done the walk.


Michael had a look through and came up with a draft, based on the blog. He added lots of little graphics highlighting some of the incidents along the way, some of which were very subtle. From the draft, I asked him to add a few bits and change a few bits, and when the final map came through, it was far far better than I had ever imagined.


From the very basic brief that I gave, Bespoke Gift Maps came up with a finished map that was brilliant and completely captured the experience we had. It was personal to us and I would recommend his work to anyone." NB(Client)


This client has since commissioned a 50th Birthday gift for a friend, more later.
