Want an original gift idea for a dear friend? Consider a map. It is not only attractive and imaginative, it is usually functional or sentimental, or both.

Gift maps can be functional. If you have a friend heading overseas on a vacation, giving them a collection of city maps for their destination countries can be invaluable. Then every time they refer to one of the maps they will think of you. The same can be said of topographical maps for hikers or mountain climbers, nautical charts for scuba divers and sailors, and simple road maps for someone who is planning to move across the country.

To really make a lasting impression, consider having a custom map made. These maps can be created to focus on a specific country, region, or state that is meaningful to the receiver. A map that includes all the cities a person has lived in can be memorable. Sports lovers might prefer a map that shows all the teams in a given sports league. Maps can also be customized with the name of the recipient or their family. A historical reproduction of a favorite era can be mounted in an engraved frame. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the giver and their knowledge of the interests, history, and preferences of the recipient.
