Why you should give someone an old map
Old maps are perfect gifts. Not sure what to get someone? Just buy them an old map of where they were born, where they live, or where they work.
I've organised my gifts into a few different sections: foolproof gifts, romantic gifts, gifts for your dad, gifts for Londoners, gifts for globetrotters, and gifts for history geeks.
If you need your gift to arrive by a certain date, please check my delivery info page.
Foolproof gifts
You can't go wrong with one of these old maps. A personalised old or modern map of someone's hometown always goes down well.
How about a horse or dog world map that has been personalised with an illustration of their beloved animal companion?
Or for something completely different, take a look at our fine art and illustration collection. All our art prints can be fully personalised, too.
Valentine's Day gifts
My personalised maps are perfect for romantic occasions, such as Valentine's Day or your "paper" wedding anniversary. I can take a beautiful old map of your town or city, and then highlight where you first met, got engaged, or married.
Or how about a pop art style map with an 'in' joke on it? Or a customised world map highlighting all the countries you've visited together? Contact me if you want to discuss a customisation idea in more detail.
Please order before 9 February for free Valentine's Day delivery, or pick Express Delivery at checkout for last-minute gifts.
Map gifts for discerning dads
Did you know that about 90% of dads love old maps? And the remaining 10% love old maps - they just don't know it yet.
Consider buying your dad a map of his hometown, with his childhood house marked on the map.
Map gifts for Londoners
London is probably the most mapped city in the world - and Londoners simply love maps. What a happy coincidence. I have hundreds of London maps, so make sure you check my complete collection for all my borough and postcode maps.
Map gifts for history geeks
Do you know someone who already owns a few maps? Or maybe they're always telling you about how civilisation peaked during the Roman Empire? Then pick one of these maps.
Map gifts for globetrotters
And finally, a selection of old maps for people who people who are always booking their next far-flung holiday or citybreak.

Personalisation & customisation
When you buy a map from The Unique Maps Co., you have the option of making it truly unique with my personalisation and customisation services.
I can make you a custom map centred on a specific house. I take real old maps, restore them, cut them up, and join them together again to make a map just for you.
Or I can personalise a map to add a message, or mark a house, or add the logo of your dad's favourite football team.
Take a look at the example below. You can slide it back and forth to see the personalisation.
