What Is a Star Chart Gift?
A star chart gift (also called a star map or night sky poster) is a custom-made print showing the exact arrangement of stars, constellations, and planets visible from a specific location on a specific date and time.
That's what makes it such a powerful gift — it captures a moment that matters. The night you got married. The day your child was born. The evening you said "I love you" for the first time. Every star chart is unique because every moment is unique.
