A map of your places together
From the honeymoon to the trips of recent years, every place with a photo, the dish and the mishap. It plays like a film and ends with "Where to next?".

How Pombilds fits an anniversary
Start with the pin where you met and add the places of your marriage: the wedding, the honeymoon, the trips and the cities you lived in. On the anniversary, send the link: the story plays like a film, and each of you writes your side of every place.
There is still time, even on the day
The gift arrives by link and opens on the phone. The first places take a few minutes, and you can build the rest together later.
For every couple
Married for one year or for fifty, same gender or not: every pigeon is just like you, and the text follows.
Questions
What is the 1st wedding anniversary gift?
Paper. A handwritten letter is the classic, and a map of your first married year fits right in.
Which anniversaries are silver and gold?
Silver is 25 years of marriage; gold, 50. Diamond is 60.
Does the gift have to be the year's material?
No. The theme is a lovely game, not a rule. What counts is that the gift recalls your story.
Can I build the map for my parents?
The map belongs to two people: the one who builds it and the one who gets it. For your parents' anniversary, one of them builds it and sends the link to the other.
Where to next?
Build your map and leave a pin waiting for the next trip.
