I have always had such a huge fascination with space. The universe is so interesting, yet terrifying, to think about. I can’t think about it for too long, or I get anxious about how huge the universe is, and how small I am. But despite this, I still love anything celestial, which is why I am creating this list of gift ideas for space lovers.

There is never a bad time to give gifts. Surprising someone with a gift is always fun, especially if that person’s love language is receiving gifts (like myself). And to make those surprise gifts extra special, it is nice to get your loved one something they love. It tells them that you pay attention and that you were thinking of them.

It can also be really difficult to decide what to get someone. This is why I have a note on my phone for every family member and friend, with their likes, hobbies, and interests listed out, along with gift ideas I come up with throughout the year.

That way, when a holiday or birthday comes around, I am ready with gift ideas. I am the worst at thinking about gifts under pressure, so having this list has been a lifesaver. It has helped me in my brainstorming process, having all my ideas and information about someone in an easy-to-find list.

What can I say? I like lists. It is how my brain works.

Anyway, if you know someone like me, who loves everything related to astronomy, and you need to buy them a gift, here are my favorite gift ideas for space lovers.

1. Constellation Blanket

Gift the ultimate comfort item with this cozy and soft constellation blanket. The best part? The stars and constellations actually glow-in-the-dark! How cool is that? As someone who has a glow-in-the-dark comfort item, I can tell you this would make a fantastic gift idea for a space lover.

They can find all the constellations glowing on their blanket while they fall asleep.

2. Moon Lamp

Have you ever sat back and marveled at how beautiful the moon is? It just hangs out up there, glowing… it is pretty cool. You can give this beauty as a gift in the form of a moon lamp!

I have one of these and let me tell you, it is amazing! All I want to do is turn out all the lights and stare at it! It is so realistic, the shadows of all the crevices on the moon’s surface. This one comes in 4 different sizes, and it can light up in 16 different colors! It also includes a remote for ease of use!

3. Astronaut Diamond Painting

Have you ever done a diamond painting? It is just like a paint-by-number except you put small plastic “diamonds” on a sticky canvas until it created a whole picture. They are so fun and perfect for anyone that enjoys slowing down and working on something. I find these so relaxing to complete! And the end result is absolutely stunning.

This diamond painting from Amazon is the perfect gift idea for space lovers. The beautiful artwork of an astronaut would be super fun to complete. I love the colors of this art as well. Perfect for the astronomy fan who also loves DIY projects!

4. Space-Themed Coloring Book

Another relaxing gift idea for your celestial friend would be a space-themed coloring book. Someone who loves space probably thinks it is beautiful. So, help them appreciate the beauty of space by coloring images of spaceships and astronauts.

This one from Amazon is from the Smithsonian, so it will be fun to color in while also being educational!

Throw some colored pencils in there so that your space-loving family member is ready to start coloring as soon as possible!

5. Celestial String Lights

Bring the stars into your space-loving friend’s room with this string of space-themed lights. These are absolutely adorable, and make a great gift for someone with an astronomy-themed bedroom or apartment.

These add just the right amount of sparkle to a room and the fun shapes are so cute.

I would be absolutely thrilled to receive anything on this list as a gift! I am a huge fan of the aesthetic of space, so having someone remember that and gift it to me would mean the world… it would mean the universe!

It has been so much fun, creating these gift idea lists over the past month! I enjoy coming up with ideas when I am not pressured by expectations and time constraints. I am not so good under pressure!

Anyway, I am sure you will find some inspiration on this list! Hopefully, this list of gift ideas for space lovers gave you some ideas for your friends or family members who have an affinity for all things celestial.
