I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! Whether you already started lighting the menorah or are trimming the tree, I have got a space gift guide if you need some last minute ideas for your loved ones.
Women of Space $25.00
Starfish Prime Apparel sent me their women of space shirt and I absolutely love it! The company has various shirts featuring different prominent figures in space. Let me tell you the best part, all proceeds go to the Brooke Owens Fellowship, an internship program for young women pursuing space degrees. The shirt is super comfy but def op for the size up if you pick the women’s fit (vs the unisex aka men’s fit).
Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover – $16.80
I actually bought this one the other day while nosing around for presents. I got this for my 3 year old niece because the illustrations were so spectacular but it definitely has the wordiness for an older kid.
Stellar Nova Jet Car Kit $15.99
Stellar Nova sent me one of these last year so I had the opportunity to try it out with my eight year old niece and boy did we have a blast. Better than your average rocket kit, the fun infographics caught her attention and she read to me all about the science behind this. Keep in mind this kid is constantly telling me how she doesn’t like science and she ate this toy up.
Meteorite Fragment 3 Pack Collection $29.99
Now, I don’t know about you but I always wanted my bit of space since I was a kid. No worries about these being fake, they are sold from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center gift store!
Explorer Patch $6.50
A new meaning to Happy Exploring, this patch is perfect for your wanderlust space dreamer. It also GLOWS IN THE DARK!
NASA Hoodie Sweatshirt $59.99
I love the throwback feel of this sweatshirt. They use the old NASA “worm” logo (as opposed to the current meatball) which was retired back in 1992.
H&M NASA collection $12.99-$34.99
Speaking of NASA Worm Logo, why don’t we ditch the usual NASA meatball T-shirt for a NASA worm T-shirt. Well if you have to do a meatball, make it reversible!!! This collection also features children’s clothing so check out the link for more items.
2019 Lunar Calendar $25.00
If you are a frequent stargazer a lunar calendar is a must have. Whether you are looking to observe the beautiful moon itself or trying to avoid its bright shine to see other stars, this calendar is just for you.
Universe Sandbox $24.99
Universe sandbox is a computer game that lets you play master of the universe. You can make planets, kill planets, make starts, kill stars, crash moons into their planets… and the list goes on!
The Original Moon Lap $29.99 – $69.99
This Moon glows in two different colors, a more yellow hue like the one in the picture and a white hue closer to what the Moon looks like high in the sky. It also comes in various sizes so you don’t have to commit to the hefty high priced one (and it has a stand too… it doesn’t just roll around everywhere lol).
Halos de Jupiter Cotes du Rhone $17.99
I am one of those people who unfortunately judges by the cover so I had eyed this wine for a while before actually trying it out. And it was delicious! Each wine from this company features a planet or Jupiter in a different color.
Earth and Space Coloring Book: Featuring Photographs from the Archives of NASA $14.12
Want to color one of the iconic images from the Apollo missions? This coloring book is just for you. Filled with stunning images and lots of detail (but not too much for it to take you FOREVER.. trust me I know that feeling).
Star and Moon Pave Stud Earrings $45.00
These are great earring for those with sensitive ears. The gold ones have been in mine for the past week and I can’t usually wear earrings for more than a few hours!
Sunspotter Solar Telescope $429.95
For those who love our nearest star, there is a telescope for you! This telescope enable you to see sunspots from your own backyard!
If you want to do more a more personal touch, you can bake some galaxy cookies for your favorite space cadet.

*Side note: I wanted to include the NASA Vans collection but the reviews were so bad on the products that I didn’t think I should share. When I tried one of the items on in stores, it seemed okay but maybe after wear they turn out to be crummy.
