This book is exactly what any aspiring astronomer needs: a practical guide to viewing the universe. It’s full of charts ideal for backyard astronomers using small telescopes or binoculars.

Double sided, this necklace has a detailed image and different sized circle representing 7 planets in the solar system.
Constellation Coasters
Sophisticated and modern, these coasters are etched with four of the most popular constellations.

What’s more fun than eating off a planet? This set has all 8 planets in our solar system, perfect for the next astronomy-themed party at this gift recipient’s home. If you’re wondering yes, there are matching bowls out there.
Astronomy Magazine Subscription
Magazine subscriptions make great presents because they’re the gift that just keeps on giving all year long.
Pluto Shirt
We all have one friend who just can’t accept Pluto’s loss of planetary status. Help them show their Pluto pride with this shirt.

Made of Star Stuff Bracelet
What are we made of, exactly? Seriously, it’s actually star stuff.

This shirt is harsh and to the point. If your friend or relative is really into astronomy, this might just be the most perfect gift there is.
