Loved by Our Customers
Rated 5.0 from 281 Google reviews
Got a star map for my hubby. He nearly cried. Our star map was from the day he recovered from his prolonged illness. Never seen something with so much sentimental value for him.
She was stargazed and emotional when she saw the gift. Knowing what star was in the skies in the location she was born in was truly magical for her.
I absolutely love the star map. My partner loved it as well and was so emotional upon receiving it.

What is a unique birthday gift idea for him or her?
A star map of the night they were born shows the exact sky over their birthplace at that moment, calculated from NASA and ESA data. Framed prints start at AED 240 and the digital file is AED 99.
Is a star map a good 50th or 60th birthday gift for a parent?
Yes. The sky from the night they were born, framed with their name and a message from the family, is a milestone gift that stays on the wall for years.
Can I get a digital file today if the birthday is tomorrow?
Yes. The high-quality digital file costs AED 99 and arrives within 24 hours. For a printed gift, next-day UAE delivery is AED 99 on orders placed before 2 p.m.
Can I add a photo?
Yes. The Star Map + Your Photo design places your picture beside the sky from your date, and the photo collages turn several photos into one framed piece. Every collage is designed individually and shown to you before printing.
What can I write on it?
Each design has a title, a personal quote or message, and the date and location of your moment. You see every word in your design preview and can ask for changes before printing.
Does it come framed?
Yes. Every printed size comes ready to hang in a black frame, or as a modern acrylic panel if you prefer a sleeker look. If you would rather print it yourself, the digital file is AED 99.
Personalised Birthday Gifts From the Night They Were Born
A personalised star map is a birthday gift for him or her, your wife, husband, mum, dad, sibling or child, that shows the sky exactly as it was above the city where they were born, on the night they arrived. It is meaningful because that sky belongs to one person only, and their name, date and a line from you make it a gift no one else can give. Delivery is free across the UAE in 2–3 working days after your order is confirmed.
Star Maps is a personalised gift brand that designs and prints custom star maps, city maps and photo collages, with free delivery across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Choosing a Birthday Design by Recipient
Start with who it is for and where it will hang. Every framed print comes in a black frame, or you can choose a modern acrylic finish.
For him: husband, brother or friend
Clean designs usually suit men best. The Original Star Map shows his birth sky with the date and coordinates, while Velvet Nights and the Classic Star Map give the same layout in navy or black and white. For more ideas for a partner, read our guide to birthday gift ideas for your husband.
For her: wife, sister or friend
Softer colours such as Chiffon Pink or Sapphire and Amethyst suit a bedroom or dressing area. Capture Your Love Story (Star Map + Your Photo) adds a favourite picture under the sky, and the Star Map Pendant in 925 silver lets her wear it (UAE delivery only).
For mum or dad
The MOM and DAD Photo Collages spell the word in family photos, and the Personalized Moon Phase Print shows the moon on the day they were born, a quiet design that suits parents who prefer something subtle.
For a child
The Baby Name Custom Photo Collage fits a nursery, and an Original Star Map of the night they were born becomes something they keep as they grow.

Ideas for Milestone Birthdays
- First birthday: the sky on the night the baby was born, framed for the nursery, with the full name and birth date.
- 18th or 21st: a star map of the birth night with a line about the year ahead, a gift that moves with them to university or a first flat.
- 30th or 40th: a larger 40x50 cm print or acrylic, or a Star Map With Skyline of the city where they were born.
- 50th, 60th and beyond: the Moon Phase Print or a family photo collage made from decades of pictures.
- A surprise from a group: friends or colleagues can share one framed print and add a joint message.

Timing a Birthday Gift
Birthdays come all year, so the safest plan is to order about a week ahead. That leaves time for the preview, any changes you want, and delivery in 2–3 working days. If the birthday is close, next-day delivery is available for AED 99 on orders placed before 2 p.m.
A second print is automatically 25% off, handy when two family birthdays fall close together. Cash on delivery is available in the UAE, and orders to Saudi Arabia are delivered free, in about 2–4 days to Riyadh and 4–8 days to other cities. For birthdays in late November, our White Friday gift guide covers the season's ideas.
