Put Your Business on the Map: Personalised OS Maps Make Memorable Corporate Gifts

Finding a business gift that feels thoughtful can be surprisingly difficult. 

What do you give a longstanding employee, a valued client or a business partner to show that you have put some care into choosing their present?

Personalised Ordnance Survey maps offer a rather splendid answer.

By placing a meaningful location at the centre of a map, businesses can create gifts with a story behind them. OS’s folded custom-made maps can also feature a personal photograph and cover text, making them particularly suitable for marking milestones.

A thoughtful way to recognise staff

For an employee celebrating a significant work anniversary, a map centred on the office, factory or shop where their career began could make a lovely keepsake.

A photograph of the team or premises, used with the appropriate permission, could add another personal touch. Accompany it with a handwritten message recognising their contribution, and the gift becomes a tangible reminder of their working life.

Retirement presents offer another opportunity. You might choose somewhere connected with the recipient’s plans: a favourite walking destination, their home town or an area they hope to explore.

The key is knowing the person. A carefully chosen location demonstrates the attention that makes recognition feel sincere.

B2B gifts that celebrate a shared journey

These maps also lend themselves beautifully to business-to-business gifting.

A supplier could mark a longstanding relationship with a map centred on its customer’s headquarters. Two businesses celebrating a partnership anniversary might choose the location of their first joint project.

For a client opening new premises, a map of the surrounding area could provide a thoughtful welcome. Estate agents, property developers and relocation businesses could also consider a personalised map as a completion or moving-in gift.

Framed versions offer the possibility of a lasting display in a reception area, meeting room or office, with a story ready to share whenever someone asks about it.

Options for different budgets

Small folded custom-made maps are listed at £7.99, with large folded maps at £21.99. Framed and canvas options are also available for more substantial gifts. OS additionally advertises quantity discounts on folded custom-made maps, subject to its terms.

For Christmas, work anniversaries, retirements or partnership milestones, the appeal is clear: a location can say something meaningful about the people and businesses connected with it.

Choose the place carefully, explain why it matters, and you have a gift worth remembering.
