Holiday gift questions
When do I need to order for Christmas delivery?
Order by December 12 for the best chance of delivery by Christmas. We make every map to order, which takes 3 to 5 business days, and shipping usually takes another 3 to 5. Express shipping shortens the trip from us to you, but it can't speed up production. Our holiday shipping deadlines page has the details.
What if I'm ordering too late for Christmas?
Send a gift card. It arrives by email right away, and they can pick the map, size and personalization themselves.
Can I personalize a map that's meant to be a surprise?
Yes, and it's free on every map, posters included. Add their names, a date or a travel quote with one of our 9 templates, and you'll see a preview before you check out.
What size map should I give?
World and USA maps come in 24 x 36, 30 x 45 and 34 x 51 inches. The smallest size works well in an office or hallway. Above a sofa or bed, most people go one size up. Our sizing guide walks through it wall by wall.
Framed, gallery wrapped or poster: which is best for a gift?
Framed and gallery wrapped maps arrive ready to hang. Canvas posters ship rolled in a tube and need a frame, so they suit someone who already has one picked out.
What comes in the box?
Framed, gallery wrapped and three panel maps come with 150 push pins in red, white and black, plus the hardware to hang them.
Can I include a gift note?
Yes. Type your message in the Notes box at checkout and we'll include it with the order.
Can they return or exchange it after the holidays?
Orders placed in November or December can be returned through January 31, as long as the map is new, unpinned and not personalized.
What's a good stocking stuffer for someone who already has a map?
Specialty pins. We make over 100 designs, from golf balls and airplanes to hearts and cruise ships, and most sets start at $6.99.
