Oh my gosh! I was totally into this idea: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/how-to/how-to-make-a-magnetic-map-board-124481?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+apartmenttherapy/main+(Main) earlier, but think that the scratch off has a much more interactive vibe (apologies for the ugly link :( )

Maggie May said...

i have been only a smidgen of places, and those smidges would all be in the US! awesome map. remember that movie with Cher- The Mask- where her son is severly disfigured by lionism and has a huge map with tacks where he will travel? that's what i thought of.

Caroline Hallemann said...

What a creative concept--I love it. Thanks for posting this :)

Kali said...

Not related to this post... I look at your blog daily, and have been for awhile. However, I am visiting less since you put the video ads up. I find them very distracting, and even a bit tacky. The last thing I want to hear while I'm taking a break from my day is blurb about Kraft Singles.

ryan said...

This would be a great gift!

The Inside Stoop said...

i love this! i'm headed out on a cross country roadtrip soon. i want a scratch off map of the us, so i can scratch off states as i pass through them.

Khatia Caroline said...

wow, creative :)

Emily said...

OK wow. I want, no I need one!

Mary said...

It's a great idea but it makes me mad when a map company doesn't know their geography! The UK is marked and somehow Ireland is not! It looks like this company thinks Ireland is part of the UK! If you've got space to print Lux for Luxembourg on a map you've got acres of space for Ireland. I'm maaaaaad (said in a Mr T voice).

The Wild Fairy said...

Nice idea, but I want to know why they haven't put Ireland on it? It's just blank - like no man's land!!

Mary said...

Even we don't know each other Wild Fairy we're on the same wave length at the same time. Like you and like your name!

liv said...

Such a fun map! And it's like playing on the lottery a bit... I adore maps, jjust made a dress out of old maps for my upcoming exhibition...

Eat My Hat said...

South Africa! Yay * (pity about Ireland) but glad the Saffers are represented!

Charleston said...

cool x

AWESOME!

shoegirl said...

I've been dying to do something with a map since my husband and I moved to Europe; we travel so much more now and I'd love to keep all the places yet to go top of mind. I'll be ordering one of these for sure. Thanks for sharing this lovely idea!

Anonymous said...

Like madnessburgers, Mary and The Wild Fairy, I'm rating this as less than cool because of its woeful inaccuracy! My poor homeland has been obliterated...

Tara said...

I love this! It's so original and looks like fun. Wish I had one :)

Anonymous said...

I love this idea!!!!!!!

Bridget said...

that is soooo very cool.

Deirdre said...

It is a fun idea, but why no name for Ireland? Could the map-makers possibly be labouring under the (rather offensive) delusion that Ireland is part of the UK? Or, ahem, is this just one of those rare Victorian imperialist scratch-off maps?

Kim said...

What a great idea! And I love the scratch off wedding invite s one reader commented on!

Sera said...

oh wow - this is so cool! i want it!

Mode in Italy said...

BethanySusan said...

Urban Style Vibes said...

Hi Mary! I laughed as well - I think we commented at exactly the same time! You never know who you're going to meet in Blog World! Have a good one!

Patricia said...

oh this is great! I wonder if you should do all the places you and your s.o have gone each or keep it strictly to all the places you go together!

wow! that is really cool.

Mackenzie {Design Darling} said...

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Anonymous said...

This is so cool. My husband and I want to get a globe to mark all the places we've visited (and done it! lol) This would also be a cute (and secretive;)) way to show that!

Jennifer Feisty Hood Lum said...

This is genius. I just started traveling and am addicted now. This would definitely contribute to my need for travel.

Jules @ Lovely Las Vegas said...

Definitely a neat, unique find.

I want one!!!

Stephanie said...

wow, I need this!

Anne said...

Thanks for the tip! I ordered one for my travel-happy friend and I hope she will love it as much as I do. (if not, she can give it to me, lol)

Mary said...

Hello again

This is just to let my fellow Irish country people know that after contacting the people at 'I want one of those dot com' (who sell the map in question) a very helpful lady (who happened to be Irish!) let me know that the word Ireland is actually printed on the map - to the left of the country, in the Atlantic so to speak. It's not shown on the Europe close up but is if you click on the world wide map on their site. Phew! We do exist after all. Short lived anonymity.

Meg said...

what an awesome idea! i would love one of those!!

Audrey Jaye said...

That is wonderful!

I want it so badly...

vikingprincess said...

I love the scratch map idea, however I live in Canada and tried ordering it online and don't seem to be able to. Has anyone else from Canada tried ordering it? I'm thinking it's a US only product but not sure. Maybe my ordering skills aren't so good. Help! if you have any ideas. Please and thank you

jassy said...

It is just a exciting notion, yet precisely why no name for Eire? Is the map-makers possibly be labouring under the (instead offensive) misconception of which Ireland is a component in the United kingdom? As well as, ahem, is niagra one among those people scarce Victorian imperialist scratch-away atlases?
