Why a new baby star map works so well
A birth gives you the three things a sky needs: a place, a date and a time. That makes a new baby the easiest person in the world to buy a star map for.
Their first night sky
A personalised star map puts the stars over the hospital or home where they arrived on paper, set to the minute on the birth record and titled with their name. A daytime birth still works: the chart shows the stars that were above the horizon then, even though nobody could see them. Check the details in the free preview before ordering.
The Moon on the day they arrived
A Moon phase print needs nothing but the date of birth. It marks the phase the Moon was in that day, and it pairs well with a star map on a nursery wall.
For the nursery wall
The Solar System, Minimal is a clean chart of the eight planets that will still make sense to them at ten. Watercolour Moon is soft enough for a bedroom, and Lunar Phases runs the cycle in gold line. Saturn and Jupiter are single-planet portraits, and Visit the Moon imagines a 1930s holiday at the Sea of Tranquility.
Safe for a child's room
Near a cot, skip anything with glazing: a plain poster or a canvas, hung out of reach, is the safe pick. Canvas is lighter than a framed print and has no glass to break.
Delivery
Prints are made to order and take 4 to 9 working days. You can send one straight to the new parents, with no prices in the box.
