Our Custom Map Hot Pads feature vintage map imagery selected just for you. A hometown, a lake, a favorite travel destination, or a place that means something. Each hot pad is designed and printed in our studio using maps from our in-house vintage collection.
Functional and gift-worthy, these hot pads are perfect for everyday cooking, holiday hosting, and thoughtful gifting. Each piece is made to tell a story.
How Customization Works
Enter your town, lake, campus, or region at checkout. A town and state is all we need; streets and addresses won't appear on the map.
We select the best vintage map from our archive.
Your hot pad is printed and finished in our studio.
You receive a hot pad made just for you.
What to Expect from a Vintage Map
Every hot pad features a genuine vintage map, printed as the mapmakers drew it. That means a few things worth knowing before you order:
You'll see your town plus roughly 20 miles around it, so the coastline, neighboring towns, lakes, and rivers all show up. It's a regional view, not a zoomed-in street map.
Streets, neighborhoods, and individual addresses aren't shown. You'll find your town, not your street.
Coverage depends on what the original map included. Some towns sit at the edge of an old map, and some lakes or landmarks weren't drawn the way they'd be today.
Small towns near a big city will appear alongside that city.
Map styles, colors, and placement vary with the original source. That's part of the charm.
Because each hot pad is printed just for you, custom pieces are final sale. Want to see the map before we print? Ask for a preview in your order notes and we'll send one over.
