Clever “Scratch-Off Map” Evolves As You Travel

Aptly named IWantOneofThose.com brings us “My Scratch Map“. It’s a simple, yet clever take on the staid wall map – a design that evolves the more you travel:

Imagine being able to subtly show off exactly where you’ve been on your holidays. Well, with the My Scratch Map scratch-off maps, it’s easy to make anyone who pops round feel thoroughly jealous of exactly how well-travelled you are. On first glance, it’s quite a classy-looking wall map, but if you carefully scratch off the places you’ve been on holiday, it reveals some lovely colourful and geographic detail.

The top layer of the map is gold foil for easy scratching, and you only need to rub it with the edge of a coin, scratch-card style, to reveal the gorgeous detail underneath.

I want one of those indeed.
