# Why Star Maps Are the Perfect Way to Show Your Love During the Pandemic
January 24, 2025

It's during the toughest times, when we look for more ways to show our love.
And sometimes a gift needs to be more than just a gift.
There’s no doubt that COVID-19 has upended every aspect of our lives. It has socially distanced us from friends, family, and all the special people in our lives.
In a year of uncertainty, show your loved ones how much you care by gifting them a customized TwinkleInTime star map that they'll treasure for years to come.
Remember how the beginning of the pandemic felt? Scary, uncertain, and more than a little confusing. In fact, we can probably agree that it still feels pretty scary and confusing, right? There’s a lot of chaos around us, but if 2020 has taught us anything, it's to cherish the time we have together, take nothing for granted, and make sure our loved ones know they're always in our hearts.
*So why not show how you feel with a TwinkleInTime star map? It’s the perfect gift to reflect the deep and enduring love we have for the special people around us. A star map isn’t just constellations; it’s a meaningful moment in time, forever commemorated as beautiful art you can feature in any home.*
*As gifts go, it’s personal, custom and absolutely unforgettable.*
When lockdown began, we were unsure of just about everything. How to work from home, when our kids would be back in school, and even where we’d get our next roll of toilet paper. But week by week, we’ve navigated these obstacles together, and slowly but surely, the uncertainty and fear have given way to moments of love, joy, and hope.
**Around the world, we’ve heard stories of families and friends reconnecting online, old flames finding each other after decades apart, and entire communities coming together to support their neighbors.**
Even more amazingly, we’ve realized that life doesn’t come to a halt just because we’re locked down! There have been babies born, anniversaries celebrated, virtual proms or graduations, and of course, the quarantine birthday parties! The world may have stopped, but we’ve kept living, and a customized map of the stars is the perfect way to celebrate your special moments.
Of course, there will be more to come. Thanksgiving celebrations, Christmas gifts, and maybe even Valentine’s Day presents as we move through the first holiday season of our “new normal.” Voicing our love, appreciation, and compassion for people in our lives has not only brought us closer together but also helped us fight against some of those feelings of fear and uncertainty.
Collectively, the world is learning the importance of staying connected to the cherished people in our lives. Customized star maps afford unique opportunities to create lasting gifts that are attached to a memory, event, or person so you can both cherish them forever.
**Captured in the stars, we can celebrate and remember loved ones, precious moments, and important places. More than just a gift, it's a memory we can refer to, talk about, and re-live for generations to come**. **Remembering the time we were separated by hardship, but together under the stars.**
**Suggested messages:**
* Although we are apart, look up and know we are always under the same stars.
* The world may have stopped, but we kept making memories. You are my brightest star.
* We may have been separated but you are always in my heart. Just look up and know we are together.

# 9 Reasons To Give a Star Map As A Birthday Gift
# 1. It's a unique gift and can't be found in stores
Star maps are one of a kind creations that you won't find in stores. It's definitely not something you can just pick up off the shelf and hundreds of other people will have the same exact thing. Instead star maps are customized to the person you're giving it to.
# 2. No two star maps are the same
Just like your birthday, star maps are all unique. No two people have the same exact constellation map and one of a kind design because when you're creating it you get to choose the style, the color, the location, date and unique message.
# 3. Star Maps are easy to create
Twinkle In Time uses amazing software that makes creating star maps super simple even if you're not particularly gifted in the arts or with technology. All you need to do is follow the steps in the star map creator on the TwinkleInTime website and fill in the fields. You'll even be shown a preview of exactly what your star map will look like as you're creating it.
# 4. It's a gift they will love and treasure forever
Once you've created your star map, it's printed on beautiful high quality matte paper and if you chose to add a frame it will be framed with the utmost care. You will be updated as your order moves through the process including shipping from start to finish so you always know the status of your order. You can even have it shipped direct to the recipient if you choose.
# 5. The stars are always there, even on cloudy nights
Even if on the night they were born, it was cloudy, that doesn't mean the stars weren't there. The stars were always there, but with a star map they will always be able to see the exact stars and constellations from that night.
# 6. They make great decoration for any home and any room
They are beautiful to look at. They frame nicely and make a lovely addition to any wall in any room of the house. It's stylish and can match any home decor.
Once framed, the star map becomes a piece of art that is there to enjoy and cherish forever. Every time they walk by them, they will remember their birthday or special event and become mesmerized all over again at the miracle of our universe above them.
# 7. Kids love them because they'll enjoy looking at and trying to identify the constellations that they were born under.
Star maps are perfect for a kids bedroom because they'll love being able to identify all the constellations. Not only is it educational but they'll be able to look at their own star map and see the same constellations that adorn our night sky.
Kids love things related to space, stars and planets so this will make a great addition to their bedroom wall. A lot of kids rooms have posters on them or glow in the dark stars on their ceilings.
# 8. It's a great way to show someone how much you care about them with a super sentimental and personal gift .
It's a great alternative to get around generic gifts such as socks, flowers, ties, scarves.
A star map is a wholesome gift that anyone would appreciate especially if they're an astronomy buff or just enjoy looking at the stars.
# 9. It's for people of all ages - it doesn't matter if they're 8 years old or 88 years old; everyone will enjoy being able to see the stars from the night that they were born.
No matter how old someone is everyone loves looking at the stars. There's a mystery and beauty to them that hold a special meaning to everyone. That's why Star Maps make such a beautiful birthday gift, because they remind them of the magic from the day they were welcomed into the world.
