The printed card
Their invitation on a heavy square card: the moon from the cover and their name on the front, your note and their QR code on the back. Posted to you with an envelope, so you can hand it over on the day. See the card
The present they'll never forget
A 120-page book about them, with their name on the cover.
They already own the candle, the whisky and the nice jumper. Nobody has ever handed them a book about how they love, earn, work and get through the hard stretches, written from their own palms and birthday, with a plan for the week after they open it. You order it, they spend ten minutes on their phone, and we make it and post it.
- They never see the price. Not on the invitation, not in the book.
- Ten minutes from them, or none at all. They add their photos, or you fill in everything yourself and they get the finished book.
- Something to hand over on the day. A printed card with their name on it, or an email that lands the moment you pay.
The date is coming either way. Order now and give yourself room before the day.
What you can give
Four ways to show someone you know them better than anyone else does.
The Atlas of Self
The one most people give. 120 pages on how they love, earn, work, decide and get through hard times, with plans they start the week they open it. Ebook, hardcover or layflat. Give it
From …The Atlas of Us
For a wedding, an anniversary or your own partner. How the two of them fight, make up, spend and plan, with both names on the cover. Give it
From …Atlas Prints
Their Moon exactly as it looked the night they were born, or their own sky on the wall. Most need only their birth date, so you can order one without asking them a thing. Find their print
From …Atlas Candles
Their star sign's real constellation on a hand-poured soy candle, or both signs for a couple. All you need is the sign. Make their candle

The usual present, and this one
Same birthday, same budget. One gets a thank you. The other gets read out loud.
| The usual present | An atlas | |
|---|---|---|
| About them | It could have been for anyone. | Made from their own hands and birthday. Nobody else on earth has the same book. |
| The moment | A polite thank you. | They see their own name on the cover and start reading it to you. |
| The week after | It's in a drawer. | They're on day three of a plan written from their own chart. |
| A year later | Nobody remembers who gave it. | It's still on their shelf, and they still remember it came from you. |
Two ways to hand it over
Buy their book, then choose how the invitation reaches them.
Free
The email invitation
We email them their invitation as soon as you have paid. Or take a private link and send it yourself, whenever you like.
You choose right after paying, and they never see the price.
What they get
You don't need their birth details to buy it. They open the invitation, and this is what it says:
Someone has had an Atlas of Self made for you. Add a few photos and your birth details and we will do the rest.
Their invitation, word for word
Then six photos on their phone and their birth date, time and place. We check each photo as they add it, so nothing bounces back a week later. Already have their details? Enter everything yourself at checkout and they get the finished book.
You pay, they add ten minutes
Order it
Choose "A gift" at checkout and tell us their name for the cover.
Hand it over, or do it for them
Take the link and send it however you like, have us email it, or pick the printed card. If you'd rather they didn't lift a finger, add their photos and birth details yourself.
We make it and post it
Every book is printed and bound for one person. If you're working to a date, email hello@atlasandguide.com before you order and we'll tell you whether we can make it.
Before you give it
The answers givers look for most. Anything else, email hello@atlasandguide.com and a person writes back.
Will they see what it cost?
No. Their invitation doesn't mention the price, and neither does the book.
Can I just do it all myself?
Yes. At checkout, choose "A gift" and then "I'll do it now". You add their photos and birth details the same way you would add your own, and they get the finished book with nothing to do.
What if they're not into astrology?
They don't need to be. It's 120 pages on how they love, work, spend and decide, with a plan they'll use. People who'd never read a horoscope still want to read a book about themselves.
Do I get to read it?
Only if they show you. If they fill it in themselves, their photos and details come to us rather than to you, so they can answer honestly and the book stays theirs.
What if I don't know their birth time?
You don't need it. They add their own details when they open the invitation. If you'd rather fill everything in yourself, the Atlas of Self needs their birth time; the Atlas of Us and most of the prints don't.
Can you make it for a particular date?
Email hello@atlasandguide.com with the date before you order, and we'll tell you straight whether we can make it.
Is there something to hand over on the day?
Yes. Right after paying, choose "A printed card" (…) and we post you their invitation on a heavy square card with an envelope, ready to hand over. Or take the private link and print it yourself.
Be the one who gave the best present
One book, made from their photos and their birthday, about the parts of their life that matter most. Nobody else can give it to them.
