Gifts for your boyfriend: a poster of your story, or of his
A sentimental gift for your boyfriend that doesn’t feel too soppy: that is usually where it gets tricky. He never asks for anything, and anything too declared would make him squirm. What works is something he can hang up without having to explain it: a poster that looks like a map or a diagram to his mates, and is a memory to him. The stars of your first evening, calculated for the hour and the place; the map of the neighbourhood of your first date; the track of his favourite run, from his watch; the kilometres between your two towns if you started out long-distance; or his age as a level cleared, on the screen of a handheld console, if he grew up with one. Allow €19.90 to €69.90 depending on size; everything ships from our workshop in Aveyron within 48 hours. For Valentine’s Day, Christmas or your first anniversary, allow ten days.

Personalised star map poster
The stars of the evening he first spoke to you, calculated for the place and the hour. A poster that passes for decor in your living room: his mates will see a sky, he will know which one.
From €8.90
-
Personalised route poster — your run, your hike, your trip
If he runs, rides or hikes: the GPS track of your first outing together, or of the marathon where you waited at the finish, with distance and elevation gain worked out. A gift about him, and a little about the two of you.
From €8.90
-
Personalised distance poster — two places, one distance
Your two towns joined by a line, with the kilometres as the crow flies under the title. For couples who made it through long distance, or are still in it: he hangs it at his place until it becomes yours.
From €8.90
-
Personalised retro console poster — a birthday level-up
If he grew up with a handheld console, give him his age as a level unlocked and three skills with bars, without a word of sentiment. He laughs first, then he keeps it in a frame.
From €8.90
-
Personalised city map poster — the city where you met
A map of the neighbourhood where you met, or of the street of your first date, with a marker on it. For the wall: it points to the place without a single romantic line.
From €8.90

Frequently asked questions
What’s a sentimental gift for my boyfriend that isn’t too romantic?
A gift that holds your story without spelling it out. The star map shows the stars of your first evening: to his friends it’s décor, to him it’s a memory. The city map does the same with the neighbourhood of your first date, a marker on the bar. Nothing is written on it but a date and a place, and the printed A4 is €19.90.
What do you give a lad who never wears anything?
A poster, precisely: it isn’t worn, it’s hung, and he decides where. The retro console poster puts his name and his age on the screen of a nineties handheld, with three skills rated; the track of his run looks like a map. Two gifts that fit on a bedroom or office wall without anyone reading a declaration into them.
What should I get my boyfriend for our first anniversary?
The star map of the evening you met, with the date underneath, or the map of the neighbourhood of your first date, a heart dropped on the spot. For a boyfriend who likes it to show, the distance poster writes the kilometres between your two towns in big figures. Order ten days ahead for Ireland: two days in the workshop to print, then the post from France.
A gift for a boyfriend who’s into sport?
The route poster: export the outing from his app or watch as a GPX file, upload it, and his route is drawn on the map with distance, time and elevation gain worked out. The most telling is an outing you did together, or the race where you waited at the finish. No file? Our library offers well-known routes.
What’s the last order date for Valentine’s Day or Christmas?
For Valentine’s Day, order before 4 February; for Christmas, before 15 December if he lives in Ireland. Everything is printed to order, then shipped within 48 hours from our workshop in Aveyron, France. Running late? The print-it-yourself file, €8.90, arrives as a download link a few minutes after you order.
