Description

Name a star after a loved one with the Intergalactic Star Database and show them just what a star they are to you! Gazing up at a blanket of stars is one of life's great pleasures. Whether you're a casual stargazer, spend the whole night attached to your telescope, or simply want to make your mark in the heavens, why not name your very own star?

The Name a Star set comes with coordinates and a star wall map so you can star spot your star and details of how to register the issued star on the Star Registry. The star will officially be titled with your chosen name and you can show it off with the certificate you are issued. This novelty gift is great fun and offers a truly sentimental gift. Who knows there could be an updated version of the classic nursery rhyme to 'Twinkle twinkle little Clive' - it could happen!

Pack Contents:

  • Presentation Tin containing all you need register a name for a star
  • Introduction Letter
  • Registration Card – complete this and return to register your star and receive your A4 personalised certificate of registry
  • A4 Star co-ordinates certificate (actual facts on your stars position)
  • Map of the night skies poster
  • Guide to the northern constellations book
  • Suitable for ages 8+ (an adult must supervise the registration process)
  • Information on stars names are periodically released to the British Library so keep an eye out, yours may make it in there

Size:

  • Dimensions: 23 x 17 x 2cm
  • Weight: 300g

Please note: This gift provides you with the opportunity to name a star as an enduring sentiment. Consequently it is of emotional rather than scientific worth. It is not possible to assign ownership of a star. It is the sentiment behind the gift that is significant since naming a star is an enduring personalised message. It is therefore a novelty gift idea which does not grant legal ownership or title. Most importantly, the named star will always be associated with the giver and recipient.

Name a Star

Bought this as a different first wedding anniversary present. Couldn't think of something paper-related other than a paper aeroplane then I saw this. Yes it just names a star on a database but they love looking up and seeing "their star" shining above them, that's why I bought it.

name a star

This star means a lot. I bought this gift so my children will have an everlasting memory of their Father. Loved the little silver tin that it came in , it will make keeping it safe that much easier. The plotted star map will also help to locate the star, what a fab present.

the name a star

I`ve just bought 2 Name a Star kits and could get a couple more before xmas they may not be a present you can hold but for a friend or family member that does not need anything much but wants to be reminded they are being thought of. These are perfect, one went to a friend just out of the cancer ward at the local hospital and the other to a work colleague who has been covering another managers shift for 3 weeks with no complaints. Both got massively positive responses and smiles for days perfect!

Brilliant

I have purchased from iwoot before and always found the service exceptional, fast easy and secure payment along with quick delivery make the entire process completely painless! The name a star I bought was a small part of my wifes wedding present, it made her cry, a great gift with timeless implications! Although it was hard to choose from such an array of other stuff on the site, iv found loads of other presents for people now, so I'm sorted for birthdays for the next few years!

My Girlfriend Loved This!

I got this for my girlfriend as an anniversary present, as soon as she opened it she was grinning, we now have a star named after us and she absolutely loves it. This is brilliant gift for any romantic occasion, but it might take you a while to decide the name of your star! And remember, once its named, its named forever, so no breaking up! Thanks iWoot! :)

Do not buy

This is totally fake this is on Sir Patrick Moore's website and this is what he said ''Various agencies claim to be able to name stars on payment of a sum of money. But stars have not been officially named for hundreds of years. Have nothing to do with a scam of this kind''

perfect little gift

I bought this product for my boyfriend as after 5years I still like to send original valentines presents. When it came I was very pleased, it comes with brilliant charts and everything you could need, even down to a pen! I think he's going to love it, I know I would and it seems quite sciency, ideal for boys too. Its going to be the last present and the end of a treasure hunt of gifts and I'm soo excited to see his face. Thanks IWOOT!

Great product

Bought this for my daughter to give to her grandparents as she wanted to give something different! Result - grandma was in tears and grandpa was chuffed to be 'immortalised' in the stars! The reaction was more than expected and as an unusual gift, I highly recommend.

Very Unique

Bought this for my girlfriend, she was over the moon. It is a very unique gift to buy and you would think when you got it that someone had paid loads more than they actually did for it. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GIFT TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A NICE UNIQUE GIFT.

Best gift to give

Just think, you struggle to find the perfect present, especially for that tricky relative. With this Name a star, you give this person a gift for a life time and even after that. They'll always be around by naming a star after them. Fantasic gift, great price, brilliant delivery. I recommend it big time.

only for the smart

got a huge map with not so easy steps to find my star. the map should come with your star circled to make the present much less hassle to understand. also was disappointed that i now have to register the thing, getting a present for your birthday should not come in two difficult steps.

Name A Star Gift Box

This gift was for my girlfriend's birthday. I was a bit sceptical about it as i thought it would be too "cheesy". However it was recieved with alot of joy. It is an original idea for a gift and one that lasts as long as the star shines which is an aspect that my girlfriend loved. I would defintetely recommend this if you want to get a great, if not slightly different, gift for someone special.
