Personalised birthday gifts: everything starts from one date
When you don’t know what to give for a birthday, you do know one thing: the date. That is enough. The star sign follows from it without asking anyone, and the Cosmic Trio — Sun, Moon, rising sign — is worked out from it. The sky of the birth night is calculated for the exact place and hour — the stars visible to the naked eye that night, not a decoration. The moon of that night is drawn with the twenty-nine or thirty nights of its lunar month around it. The age itself becomes a verdict in statistics, a console level, weeks in boxes or Martian years; the year of birth, a timeline of the world that year; and a photo, a dog painted in watercolour or a newspaper front page. Posters start at €8.90 for the file alone and €19.90 at A4. Everything is made to order in Aveyron.

Frequently asked questions
What original birthday gift works when you only know the date?
The date alone is enough for several of our posters: the Cosmic Trio, whose Sun and Moon follow from the day of birth; the birth star, whose light is as old as the age being celebrated; the age across the solar system; and “Bloody hell, you’re old”, which counts their Mondays. The star map and the moon phase additionally need the place and an approximate hour.
Which sign matches which date of birth?
Aries from 21 March to 19 April, Taurus 20 April to 20 May, Gemini 21 May to 20 June, Cancer 21 June to 22 July, Leo 23 July to 22 August, Virgo 23 August to 22 September, Libra 23 September to 22 October, Scorpio 23 October to 21 November, Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December, Capricorn 22 December to 19 January, Aquarius 20 January to 18 February, Pisces 19 February to 20 March.
Do I need the exact hour of birth for the star map?
An approximate hour is enough. The sky turns about fifteen degrees an hour: a thirty-minute error shifts the constellations barely visibly. The place matters more — it is what decides which stars are above the horizon.
Is there a birthday gift for a child?
Yes: the retro console poster writes their name and their level — their age — on the screen of a handheld console, with three skills rated, and the six dressed-up pet portraits turn the family dog or cat into a king, a pop art star or an animated-film hero. And for a gift from a child to their godmother or uncle, the word GODMOTHER or UNCLE fills up with their photos.
How far ahead should I order?
Ten days are plenty for Ireland: 48 h of printing to order, then four to five days in transit from France. The print-it-yourself file of a poster, on the other hand, skips the workshop altogether and arrives by link a few minutes after you order.
