You can now engrave a map of Beijing and inscribe the Chinese characters 北京市 or Seoul in Korean (서울특별시) or Mumbai in Hindi (मुम्बई). We'll be adding more languages over the next few weeks and extending multi-language support to other products as well.
Clara and her mom had always enjoyed a close relationship, but in recent years due to work and family commitments, they were no longer able to spend as much time together as they would like. Despite living at opposite ends of the country, Clara and her mom still made sure they spent at least one holiday a year together, visiting Maine to enjoy the spectacular colors every Fall. Not wanting to get her mom just an ordinary gift for Mother’s Day, Clara decided that a Custom Map Tote Bag with their beloved town in Maine (Bethel, ME).
Housewarming is a pretty self-explanatory tradition, but did you know it all began back in early modern France? Before people had central heating in their homes, friends and family would join you for a housewarming party by bringing firewood as a gift to literally warm your home! Things have changed somewhat since then and we now congratulate new homeowners with gifts including house plants, champagne, candles and chocolates.
The story you wish to tell can sometimes be better accomplished by pairing items of particularly significance. Want to surprise someone with a vacation to the beach - pair a bottle of sunscreen with some sandals. Remebering your time in college with an old friend - pair a school t-shirt with a DVD of a show you watched together. We've gathered some additional gift pairing examples belowing featuring our map related products. Maps are great for story telling, and by pairing them with a related item, you can really tell the perfect story with the perfect gift.
Maps are all around us in our day to day life. We plan the quickest routes with online maps, we check our stop on subway maps, we use tourist maps to guide us around some of the world's most famous destinations, and we plot trails on topography maps when we are adventuring through the wilderness. To celebrate our love for maps, we've written this entry to provide an overview of cartography and its vibrant history!
We find topographic maps both fascinating and beautiful to look at and felt inspired to add these to our map collection. In honor of all those who dare to climb some of the highest mountains and explore the world's most exotic landscapes, we've compiled a list of the 10 most geologically inspiring places in the world.

We love hearing from you and the reasons behind why you choose a particular map to engrave on one of our products. As many of you will agree, a map of somewhere we love can hold so many special memories for us.

Dave from New Jersey recently sent us a request to create a custom set of bottles for an upcoming camping trip. He wanted a map of a camp site on the Allegheny River in Ohio with a callout for the camp location, a label of the river, and engraved names on the caps. As Dave explained, this is a trip he's taken with his buddies for the past 25 years. They started in high school and they've continued the tradition ever since. What an amazing tradition indeed!
Did you know that you can map most stadiums in the US. Here are a few of our favorites, including the current Champions New England Patriots, the Mile High Stadium in Denver, and Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. It is super easy to design your own custom map engraved tumbler. Just pick the bottle style that you like, search for a location, place, or landmark (like your favorite team stadium), then pan/zoom the map to your liking. You can even add a custom inscription such as the name of your favorite fan.
Maps take in 3 dimensions and spit out 2 dimensions. They can be technical yet visual, informative yet fictional, data-driven yet abstract. Most importantly, they tell stories–where you adopted your darling poodle terrier, where you spent collegiate days drooling on economics notes, where you spilled your IPA on your now-fiancée. As an avid map lover, I was delighted to design an interactive map style for our “choose a place, any place, and we’ll print your map to create a literally one-of-a-kind gift” products.
It’s no secret that we love maps at JACE.design. We love how maps allow someone to tell a unique story about themselves, whether it’s the location of their home or where they grew up. We recently received a beautiful note from one of our customers, Alice from California, who purchased a pair of phone cases for her parents.
