Five Star Gift Ideas

How wonderful that your son has such a clear interest in space! There are so many great gift options out there for space-lovers of all ages.

Here are some ideas:

1. Star chart: Your son might enjoy a map of the stars that are visible from your area. This could inspire him to go outside at night and try to find the constellations himself.

2. Telescope: If your son doesn't have a telescope yet, this could be an amazing gift for him. A quality telescope will allow him to see the moon and stars up close, and could even spark an interest in astronomy.

3. Astronaut ice cream: This freeze-dried ice cream is a classic treat sold in many science museum gift shops. It's a fun and unique way to bring outer space home.

4. Space-themed bedding: If your son loves space, he might enjoy having bedding that features stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

5. Space book or movie: There are so many great books and movies out there about space. Consider getting your son a copy of "The Martian" or "Hidden Figures", or a book about space travel or astronomy.

6. Model rocket kit: If your son is interested in rockets, a kit that allows him to build and launch his own rocket could be a great gift. This could be a fun activity for the two of you to do together.

7. Virtual reality space experience: Many science museums and attractions now offer virtual reality experiences that take you on a simulated space journey. This could be a fun and unique gift that your son will remember for years to come.

8. NASA merchandise: There are tons of cool NASA-themed products out there, from t-shirts to coffee mugs. Consider getting your son something he can use or wear to show off his love of space.

Overall, there are many different gift options out there for your son based on his interest in space. With a little creativity, you're sure to find something he'll love.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
