Map your stories : vos anecdotes en plan de métro pour un cadeau unique

<p> <strong>Finding THE birthday present !</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The Map your stories concept is born at the occasion of the 30th birthday of a friend.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Juliette Guigue was looking for an ideo of a present that would be original, unique, personalized and if possible collaborative to bring together friends and family. She had the idea of a subway map that would retrace her friend’s life, with anecdotes, nicknames, shared stories with all of us and to print the map on a t-shirt. </p> <p>  </p> <p> As the present made all participants and the receiver happy, she decided to create the solution that allows each of us to easily create our own subway maps to make nice presents. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Poster_extrieur-1424277979" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/164267/POSTER_EXTRIEUR-1424277979.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="Sac_exterieur_2-1424277760" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/164261/SAC_EXTERIEUR_2-1424277760.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A customisable subway map.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Each subway map is customizable. You define key words and associate to them with stories.</p> <p>  </p> <p> With <a href="http://www.mapyourstories.com" target="_blank">Map your stories.com</a>, you can invite your friends, family and colleagues to build the map with you.</p> <p> Everyone submits their ideas to create a real collaborative gift. Once your map finalized, you can edit it in several ways, create a web publication, print it on a poster, t-shirt, mug or cotton bag. We adapt your map to the gift format chosen. </p> <p>  </p> <p> The service of maps creation is free, whatever the number of participants or maps created. The customer orders his map’s edition on formats and it is delivered. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Tshirt_homme_femme_situation-1424277818" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/164262/TSHIRT_HOMME_FEMME_SITUATION-1424277818.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A sustainable development way. </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Here at map your stories, we like to tell nice stories while being a sustainable actor.
