Great gift ideas for outdoors people
As the founder of Mapelio, I’ve always believed that the perfect gift for an outdoors enthusiast should do more than simply sit on a shelf - it should evoke memories, inspire future adventures, and bring a piece of the wild into everyday life.
Over the years, I’ve poured my passion for cartography, design, and the great outdoors into every product we offer at Mapelio. If you’re searching for thoughtful, meaningful gifts for the adventurers in your life, let me share why our map prints are the ideal choice.
Why I created Mapelio: Gifts crafted with purpose
When I started Mapelio back in 2020, I wanted to create something that blended artistry with personal connection. Each map print we produce - whether it’s a fine art Giclée print of Silverstone or a framed map of The Isle of Skye - reflects my commitment to quality, sustainability, and timeless design. I also know how important it is for a gift to arrive in perfect condition, so I ensure every order is discreetly and securely packaged, ready to be opened and bring a huge smile to the recipient's face!
But what truly excites me is the ability to personalise. With custom maps, street name prints, and bespoke designs, you can give a gift that tells a unique story-the story of your loved one’s favourite places and unforgettable moments.
Bringing the wild home: National Park maps
Britain’s National Parks have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ve channelled that affection into our UK National Park map collection. Whether it’s the rugged beauty of Snowdonia or the tranquil expanses of the Lake District, our minimalist prints capture the spirit of these cherished landscapes. Each map is available as a fine art print or framed ready to hang, making it easy to find the perfect fit for any home.
Giving back is important to me, so I donate 10% of every National Park map print sale to the National Parks UK. That way, your gift not only celebrates the outdoors, it helps protect it for future generations.
Personal touches: Custom and 'moment. maps
Some places mean more than others; a first summit, a favourite trail, or the city where you fell in love. That’s why we offer a custom map service, allowing you to design a print that marks a significant location or memory. Whether it’s the route of a memorable hike or the coordinates of a special moment, our bespoke prints are a deeply personal way to celebrate life’s adventures.
Fine art for adventurers
I’ve always admired the intersection of art and geography, and our fine art maps are designed for those who feel the same. From the dramatic contours of the Outer Hebrides to the iconic Munros, each print is crafted with exceptional detail and artistry. These pieces aren’t just wall décor, they’re daily reminders of the wild places that inspire us and they look rather stunning as a centrepiece on any wall.
For the traveller & collector: Airport and racing circuit maps
For those whose journeys take them beyond the countryside, we've curated a collection of airport and racing circuit maps. These prints celebrate iconic destinations and legendary landmarks, from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit,and they’re perfect for the globetrotter or motorsport enthusiast in your life.
Making gift-giving effortless
I know that the best gifts are as enjoyable to give as they are to receive. That’s why the team take huge care with every detail, from packaging to customer service. Every framed map arrives ready to hang, with no hint of what’s inside, and we're always happy to accommodate special requests. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a partner, or even yourself, I’m confident you’ll find something truly special at Mapelio.
