A gift from Cardiff. The sky above one Cardiff moment.

Born at the University Hospital of Wales in the Heath. Engaged in Cardiff Bay, married within sight of the Castle, a first home in Canton or Roath. The afternoons in the Principality Stadium count as family history too. A Welsh line under the galaxy suits it: Cariad am byth, love for ever.

• Cariad am byth · Cardiff Bay · 2027

For someone from Cardiff living over the bridge: the sky above Roath or Canton on their day.

Cardiff people tend to keep their Welshness close even after moving over the bridge, and a present with a Welsh line lands well: Cariad am byth (love for ever), Croeso (welcome) for a new baby, Hiraeth for someone who misses home.

Moments people choose: an international at the Principality, where a whole family remembers the score; a wedding at City Hall; a first flat in Pontcanna; a birth at the Heath. St David's Day on 1 March is a natural day to give it.

Valleys families who moved down to the city often keep a foot in both places. If the moment happened in Pontypridd or Caerphilly, write that town; a present from Cardiff can still carry the place they started.

If you are not sure of the Welsh spelling, ask someone who speaks it before you order; the proof shows the line exactly as it will print.
