Gifts for a couple: sixteen personalised posters of their story
Giving a couple a gift that tells their story means deciding what you want it to say. A place tells a story nobody else can read; a date pins down one particular day; a photo shows what they looked like that day. Our sixteen posters start from those three ideas: the map of the town where they met, the map of every trip they have taken, the sky above their date, the moon on the day each of them was born, their photo hung like a work of art, splashed across a magazine cover, painted in watercolour, stencilled onto a graffiti wall, redrawn in a single line, turned into a 3D animated movie or set on a 1955 scooter, their two first names or the word US filled with their photos, or their story written out as a recipe. Everything is printed to order in our workshop in Aveyron, from €19.90 at A4. Up close, one draws a place, another a night, another their faces.

Personalised 3D animated movie couple portrait poster — your photo as a 3D cartoon
A photo of the two of you, redrawn as a 3D animated movie in which you are the stars, with a title across the top that starts as “I Love You”. Funnier and softer than a stencil or a magazine cover, and you see it in half a minute before ordering.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Travel postcards photo poster — your trips as postcards
For a couple who have more memories on the road than at home: their photos as airmail-bordered postcards, with stamp, postmark and the place name handwritten. Three to nine cards, like the ones they never sent.
From €8.90
-
Personalised couple’s names photo poster — two names interlocked
Your two names staggered on two lines, each letter filled with a photo: of one of you, of the other, or of both together. The gift that says “this is us” without a date or a place to know, put together in a few minutes on a phone.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Polaroid-style photo poster — captioned snapshots
Your photos as instant-style prints, four to twelve, slightly tilted, each with a handwritten caption: a place, a date, a word. A gift for a couple who prefer snapshots to albums, put together in a few minutes on a phone.
From €8.90
-
Personalised city map poster — the city where you met
The same idea, larger: the map of the neighbourhood where they met, framed by you, in the style you choose. Five sizes, with or without a frame.
From €8.90
-
Personalised star map poster
The exact sky above a place, at a date and a time. The stars visible to the naked eye that night, calculated — not a decoration.
From €8.90
-
Personalised photo print Musée de Nous — your photo, exhibited like a work of art
Their photograph, hung like a museum piece: the exhibition title, their two first names, the date, the place and, depending on the collection, a short text and a museum label. The gift a friend or relative makes from a photo they took themselves, or dug out of a drawer.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Couple photo poster — your photos in the letters
The word US, each letter filled with a photo of the two of you: the first one, the latest, the one that looks like you. A line around it such as “Always US”, and an accurate preview before you pay.
From €8.90
-
Personalised magazine cover poster — the two of you on the cover
Their photo on the cover of a magazine about them: their names splashed across the front, the masthead in huge letters — “Us”, “Love Story” —, the date, the place and, on the Love and Summer layouts, three cover lines for their memories. It gets a laugh when it’s unwrapped, then stays on the wall.
From €8.90
-
Watercolour couple portrait poster, personalised — your photo, painted
For a couple in love: their photo painted in watercolour, both names underneath, in four palettes. The portrait appears in about thirty seconds, before you order; no date or place needed, just a good photo of the two of them.
From €8.90
-
One line portrait poster, personalised — your photo in a single line
Your photo of the two of you redrawn in one fine line on white, your names and the date you met written underneath in handwriting. A restrained gift: a single line, black or coloured, on white paper.
From €8.90
-
Personalised street art couple poster — your photo as a stencil on a graffiti wall
For a couple who prefer street art to soft painting: a photo of the two of them as a black-and-white stencil on a wall covered in tags, with “You & Me” painted on it. Nothing to write and no date to know: the poster appears in about thirty seconds, before you order.
From €8.90
-
Personalised couple moon phase print — our two moons
The only gift on this page that starts from their two births: the moon on the day each was born, side by side, at its real phase. Give it when you know their dates; a third moon can carry their wedding day.
From €8.90
-
Personalised travel map print — all your trips together
All their trips on one dotted world map, each linked to their home town and numbered with its year, then the number of countries and continents and the kilometres travelled together, worked out for them. The gift for a couple whose suitcase is never quite unpacked.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Magnat-Debon vintage scooter poster 1955 — your couple on a period scooter
The two of them on a 1955 scooter, from their photo — he at the handlebars, she behind, a road lined with sunflowers ahead — with their two first names in the banner and a line of their own. A gift for a wedding anniversary, with a smile.
From €8.90
-
Personalised recipe for love poster — your couple’s recipe
Their story written like a card from a grandmother’s notebook: ingredients (“2 fits of giggles at 3 a.m.”), steps, and a cooking time counted in real days since they met. The gift from the one who cannot say “I love you” but can write a recipe.
From €8.90

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to give a couple two posters?
No: one is enough, since it hangs in their home, in the room they share. If each of them wants their own — two flats, two offices — order the same composition twice, in two sizes or two styles: it is the same map, the same sky, and that is what makes it a pair.
What do you give a couple when all you have is one photo of them?
A phone photo is enough for five posters on this page: the watercolour portrait, which paints it with their names underneath; the 3D animated movie portrait, which redraws it as a cartoon; the street art poster, which stencils it onto a graffiti wall; the one line portrait; and the magazine cover, which makes it front-page news. You see the preview before you pay, and the print is exactly what you saw on screen.
What do you give a couple when you know neither their date nor their initials?
A place. The city map draws the street where they met or their first address, and it is the only poster on this page that asks for neither a name nor a date: pick a style, frame the map, drop a marker. It is what you choose when the gift comes from a friend rather than from one of the two — and to anyone who does not know the story, it is just a map.
Which one marks a first meeting rather than a wedding anniversary?
For a first meeting, the place: the city map, because the spot is what people remember once the date has gone vague. For a wedding anniversary, the day: the star map of the evening they said yes, which gets read again every year, or the recipe for love, which counts the days since. Somewhere in between, the couple moon phase poster asks only for their two dates of birth.
Can I give the same thing to two people without it being identical?
Yes: on a poster it is the style that changes. The same place or the same sky comes in nine styles, from midnight blue to chalk paper, and the size changes too, from A4 to 70 × 100. Two maps of the same street, one in midnight blue, the other on chalk paper, recognise each other without being confused.
What unique gift for a couple can I make from a photo?
The Musée de Nous poster: the couple’s photo is presented like a work in an exhibition, with their first names, the date, the place and, depending on the collection, an exhibition title, a short text and a museum label. Six collections change the composition, from a gallery wall to an art-house film poster. A phone photo is enough, and the page warns you before you buy if its resolution is too low.
