Without a birth time, we show the sky at midnight. Times use local solar time for the place you choose.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to a gift only you could give

1

Tell us the moment

A name, a date and a place — a birthday, a wedding day, the night everything changed.

2

We plot the real sky

Your design is drawn from a genuine star catalogue — the actual stars and constellations overhead at that moment.

3

Printed and delivered

Printed all the way around a ceramic mug and shipped to their door, ready to wrap.

WHY IT MEANS MORE

Not a pattern. Their sky.

Anyone can print stars. We plot the ones that were actually there — the constellations above the hospital, the hometown, the place it happened. Every mug is astronomically accurate for its date and location, so no two are ever the same.

QUESTIONS

Good to know

Is the star map real?

Yes. Every design is plotted from a genuine star catalogue using the date, time and place you give us — the constellations you see are the ones that were really overhead.

What if I don't know the birth time?

No problem — we show the sky at midnight for the date and place you choose. It still reflects that exact night.

Can I see it before I order?

Yes — the live preview at the top of this page updates as you type, so what you see is what we print.
