Birth Gift: A Map Poster of Your Baby's Birthplace for the Nursery

Babies receive so many gifts at birth that outgrow them within two years. A map poster of the birthplace takes a different path: it grows with them. First it hangs above the changing table, later in the nursery, eventually in their first flat — and it always shows the same thing: the place where it all began. Literally.

What belongs on the poster

The name. Large, as the title — the poster belongs to your child from day one.

The birth date. As a subtitle, often with the time — the number parents never forget.

The coordinates. The exact location of the clinic or home, down to the decimal point. Our birth section shows examples.

The right map section

Popular choices include the neighbourhood around the clinic or first home — close enough that your child can later point and say "here." In cities like Munich, Vienna or Linz, even the street plan of the local area tells its own story.

Colour palettes for the nursery

Light, calm themes work with any decor style and age well as the baby's room becomes a teenager's room. For something more playful, soft greens or blush tones work beautifully — in the editor, you can try any combination live before ordering.

Who gives it matters less — that it stays, matters more

Whether it's from proud grandparents, godparents or the parents themselves: a birth poster is one of the rare gifts that's still there twenty years on. And perhaps, one day, it will hang next to the map of their first home.
