Gifting — Travellers

Gifts for Travellers Who Remember Trips by What They Ate

Ask a traveller about a country and they will describe a meal. That is the souvenir worth giving.

Better than a map print

Map prints show borders. Food prints show what actually happened on the trip — the breakfast stall, the long lunch, the thing nobody could pronounce. For someone who travels to eat, an illustrated food poster is a far more accurate record than a pin board.

It also solves the standard travel-gift problem: nothing here has to be carried through an airport.

Building a travel wall

Every poster is drawn in the same style and palette, so prints collected over years hang together as one series. Frame them identically and a hallway becomes a travel history that reads as a design decision rather than a scrapbook.

For a traveller between trips, a tote and a sweatshirt from a favourite country carry the same idea without needing wall space.

Presentation

Boxed with tissue paper and ribbon, and shipped worldwide from our Etsy studio — including directly to the recipient if they are currently somewhere else.

An illustrated food poster of a country they have travelled to — it records what they actually remember about the trip rather than where it was on a map.
