Ah, this print looks so lovely, what an amazing and unusual gift for a loved one. I’m sure I can think of lots of events but it would come down to a tie between the date Alan and I got married and the date Flora was born! xx
They are both lovely memories. I have entered your name! Good luck lovely!❤️
Omg this star map is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this, I think my significant date would be my birthday as I haven’t hit any big life milestones yet 🙂 thank you for sharing x

This is such a beautiful print. I got one for me and my mum a few years ago with our constellations on the day we were both born. They make such beautiful gifts!
I love this idea so, so much. As a bit of a witchy woman, I love all this sort of stuff and I think it’s a beautifully sentimental way to remember a special date.

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely GORGEOUS! I’ve just subscribed to your blog and followed the company on Twitter (I already followed you). I’d love to have a sign like this for November 18, 2018, which is my wedding date 🙂 It’s the most special day of my life and I’d love to have it documented like this!
Thank you for entering good luck! X
I love this idea Lauren. So beautiful.
I think I would have the day my Mum passed away 21.08.18, we have a star named after her so it kind of fits as another way to hold her close, plus she loved the sky, when I want to feel close to her I look up x
That is such a wonderful idea for your mum. Thank you for entering and good luck x
Awww love this! My significant date is 15th July (2019). Not only is it the day I randomly met my now boyfriend at a work event. But it’s also one of the happiest summers of my life and I really started to find myself then!

Love this idea and it would look so cute in a kid’s room too!
July 27th 2017. Met the 4th love of my life.
This is very cool! I think my date would be my wedding date. 🙂
I’d pick the 25th october 2020, the date my boyfriend asked me to be his girlfriend!
That is really sweet. Thank you for entering and good luck!

What date did you want in order to enter the giveaway?
I love these so much! I’ve been thinking about getting one done. I want one for the night of my wedding; we have a wedding wall which includes pictures, framed memories, a framed first dance tribute and this would be the perfect addition!
This is so lovely, I’ve been meaning to get one! I’d get the 29th June 2019. The night of our wedding, the night we danced under the stars with all our family & friends. We have a wedding wall; full of pictures, framed memories including a tribute to our first dance and this would be the perfect addition! My husband has memory issues & things like this help trigger his memories <3
Thank you for sharing the reason behind your date. Thank you for entering-good luck!
Can you link your blog too
What is your Twitter handle and blog
This is such a gorgeous idea and would make a perfect gift for almost everyone! I think the date I would go with would be the date of my dad’s death or the date that I had liver surgery that saved my life x
I absolutely adore this and have done all steps for the giveaway. My husband and I are both firm believers in the power of astrology and the way that the placement of the stars, moon and planets can have a meaningful impact on our lives. I would love to have this done as a gift for him showing our wedding day, September 22nd, 2012.
That’s great! Thank you for entering good luck!
What a beautiful gift. Would make a great special date birthday item as it would be so thoughtful. My special date is 30 sept 1938 as this is the date my mum was born
Thank you for entering. Good luck!
This is so gorgeous! I’ve actually been thinking of getting one of these for myself. But I think my boyfriend would love it (and I still benefit hehe)! I love that you can pick a special date as well – that would have to May 4th for me. The date my boyfriend officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and also a special day for him being a Star Wars fan as well haha!
Thank you for entering. Good luck!
I really want to get one of these on my wall, I’m going to get one of these when I’m paid!
Love, Amie ❤
