Gifts for GrandmaA Night From Her Family Story
Grandmothers keep the dates. Give her one of them: the sky the night her grandchild was born, with the baby’s name, time and weight, or the sky over her own wedding night, decades back.
In short: A star map gift for grandma is a print of the real night sky over a chosen place at a chosen date and time, computed from the Hipparcos star catalogue, with your names and a message underneath.
The digital file is $19.99 and arrives by email in minutes. Posters start at $39.99 and framed prints at $79.99, in 11×14, 12×16, 18×24 or 24×36 inches, with free shipping to 35 countries; prints are made in 2 to 5 business days. The preview is free and needs no account.

Getting a grandchild’s chart right
For a new grandchild, use the minute on the hospital bracelet and the town of the hospital. The birth poster prints the name, date, time, weight and length under the sky, which is what grandparents want to read.
For a wedding chart from decades back, the date is on the marriage certificate; if nobody remembers the time, choose the evening, around 9 pm. The sky is computed for any year since 1900, so 1968 looks exactly as it did over that town.
With several grandchildren, one chart each in the same frame and theme makes a row that grows with the family, and a new one is easy to add later.
With the baby’s name and stats: the birth poster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meaningful gift for grandma?
Something about the family rather than a thing to dust: a print of the sky the night a grandchild was born with the baby’s name and stats, a photo book, a recorded conversation about her life, or a day out together. A framed birth chart is the one that tends to end up on the wall.
What do you get a new grandma?
The birth poster: the sky at the minute her grandchild was born, with the name, date, time, weight and length underneath. Parents usually have the exact time on the hospital bracelet.
Can it show a date from 50 years ago?
Yes. The chart is computed for any date and place, so her wedding night in 1972 shows the sky exactly as it stood over that town that night.
How fast can it arrive?
The digital file ($19.99) arrives by email in minutes. Prints and framed prints are made in 2-5 business days and ship free to 35 countries.
