A city map gift starts with one question: where did it all begin? Almost everyone can point to that place: the street corner where you first made eye contact, the park where the proposal happened, the city where you finally moved in together after years apart. A photo hardly captures such a place, but a map featuring that exact spot does.

The where it all began city map poster, or in Dutch: the poster of where it all began, turns that one place into a gift. And it can be done in more than one way. Below are four variants, each with its own perspective, so there is always one that suits the story you want to capture.

City map gift: where it all began poster in round shape, personalized location map

1. One place, just as you remember it

The where it all began poster captures a single location: the place of the first meeting, the first home together, or simply the city where it felt right. You choose the place yourself and add your own text such as "where it all started" or "waar het allemaal begon", in a round shape.

A beautiful gift for a relationship anniversary, your partner's birthday, or simply because you want to commemorate that one place once again. Price: from €21.95.

Where it all began city map poster in square shape, personalized location poster

2. Sleek and minimalist, in a square

Another version of the where it all began city map poster, in a square shape: sleeker and more minimalist. This makes it easy to combine with other art on the wall. Ideal for those who prefer a clean line over a round shape. Price: from €21.95.

Where it all began city map poster heart, personalized location in heart shape

3. That one place, in a heart

If you prefer not to have a round or square shape, then there is the where it all began city map poster heart. This city map itself has the shape of a heart, instead of being round or square. By the way, you can add the heart at the exact location to any city map poster, in the color of your choice or without it at all.
