Astronomy 2021 holiday gift guide

Every year, the holiday season is the perfect time to deepen one’s love of the cosmos. It’s also a great time to introduce someone you know to the magic of astronomy and skygazing by giving them a space-themed gift. But finding the perfect astronomy gift can be a daunting task.

That’s why My Science Shop, the online store of Astronomy magazine, curated this list of top-rated space gifts for the 2021 Christmas and holiday season. Whether you’re shopping for a budding astronomer, a seasoned backyard observer (or yourself) these unique space gifts will bring much-needed enjoyment in the long months ahead.

This holiday season, you might find yourself reflecting on the important people in your life, and thinking of ways you can show your appreciation. Gift-giving is one of the too-few opportunities we have left to remind people that they are loved. And for many astronomy enthusiasts, it was a thoughtful Christmas gift that first put stars in their eyes.We hope you’ll find these space gift ideas helpful as you shop for loved ones on your list.
