Space themed gifts are a favorite for us earthlings and I am so glad they are! The whole idea of outer space is so incredible and foreign to the majority of us, which makes the aesthetic of it binge-worthy. It also doesn’t hurt that astronauts are pretty much hardcore super-humans, so space-themed gifts are out of this galaxy, amazing!
SpaceX 🚀
On Saturday, June 13 at 5:21 a.m. EDT, 9:21 UTC, SpaceX successfully launched its ninth Starlink mission, carrying 58 Starlink satellites and three of Planet’s SkySats. This mission marked SpaceX’s first SmallSat Rideshare Program launch.

SpaceX has launched it’s 9th Starlink mission and has, quite frankly, been a major redeeming moment for year 2020. This year has been full of the most bizarre, chaotic and life-changing events for all of us. Thankfully, we still have had some exciting things to remember from this year so far thanks to the bad ass men and women who leave the PLANET to explore, which is pretty incredible even today.
I can’t imagine how incredible it would feel to be in space, but I don’t think I could ever do the long spaceship ride without going into absolute panic/claustrophobic mode, so kudos to those rock stars who go explore for us! If I ever was being launched off earth in a little spaceship, this is what I would look like:
Most of us are absolutely fascinated by space, and we probably can thank our childhood for being a part of that because of movies like “Space Jam” , songs like “E.T” by Katy Perry, and TV Shows like “Xenon: Girl of the 21st Century“, which obviously aren’t realistic in relation to space, but still helped us become curious about what is beyond planet Earth.
Sure, the movie “Men in Black” isn’t what our brave astronauts are experiencing when they are up there, but even so, it is still pretty rad and something that we can all appreciate and be hopeful about. I mean, even compared to the movies that create their own image of what Space is like, the reality is still mind-blowingly amazing!
U.S Space Force
I also would be a terrible person if I wrote this post without mentioning the U.S. Space Force. Being an Air Force veteran myself, I have a natural favoritism for my branch but the U.S. SPACE FORCE? Hell yeah! I must admit that I still need to check out the new show on Netflix called “Space Force“, featuring comedic genius Steve Carrel, aka Michael Scott. If you haven’t seen the preview yet, check it out here.
The Space Force logo is pretty cool too, huh? With that being said, let’s help celebrate the space-exploring milestones that some amazing people have made happen in our history with some cool space-themed products.
PSA: You may experience several alien sightings throughout this post. Do not panic – they are friendly. 👽
1. Astronaut Food
You can get freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches – a NASA space dessert, which come in a pack of 6, which also has some slick packaging that makes it a cool add-on gift for the space-lovers in your life, or to simply try for yourself. I wonder if it is similar to MRE food, which I thought were pretty delicious when I used to eat them in the Military.
2. Space-Themed Jewelry
There are way too many awesome pieces of jewelry inspired by space, but these have to be some of my favorites space themed gifts in jewelry form!
Space-themed Necklace Set
This super cool set of necklaces are super cute! The astronaut one is my favorite! 👍🏻
Astronaut Earrings
Fill the SPACE which are the holes in your lobes with these astronaut earrings. Sure, they are quirky, but in a cool, Zooey Deschanel kind of way.
Astronaut Ring
This is a really cool ring because it is an astronaut hugging a “rock” and the helmet is represented by a beautiful, single pearl. So unique!
3. Trippy Alien T-Shirt
Aliens are constantly used in trippy and psychedelic art, and this shirt alone makes it easy to see why.
4. Astronaut USB Night Light
Whether you are using your keyboard in a dark room, or don’t have a keyboard that lights up, this is perfect for putting a little light in your life. It looks super cool too and is a perfect space themed gift for anyone!
5. Alien Balloons
OMG. These are so cool and make me want to go out and find a child willing to let me plan their next party – alien themed! These would just be the icing on the cake.
6. Custom Astronaut Pet Canvas
What better way can you think of that is cooler and funnier than hanging up a patriot of your pet being portrayed as an astronaut? I can’t believe this isn’t more PAW-pular! Look how classy and accomplished this pup looks:
7. Astronaut Vase
Plant one of your favorite forms of life in these beautiful ceramic astronaut vases! You can choose between a small or large size and the gold detail looks incredible.

If you ever wondered what the perfect notebook would look like, this is it. It looks like it would be used by a space god! 😍 I would so use this on my trips to space and fill it with dozens of lists of space snacks and space facts. Haha
NASA Hoodie
Rocking this space-themed hoodie just tells people that you’re awesome and woke af.
NASA Lanyard
The coolest NASA lanyard that I have seen would definitely be this one. It looks super official, like something I would need to verify my boss status if I was an astronaut. I’d be like “Yes, Astronaut Crystal reporting for space duty – HERE IS MY BADGE – OPEN THE SPACE GATE, Raymond!”
9. Alien Lava Lamp
Well, it looks like I have found THE coolest lava lamp in the entire universe. *does hair swoosh*
10. Alien Area 51 Sign
Unless you’re 13, you probably won’t hang this on your bedroom door, but it is definitely cool for your office decor – or if you have a parking spot in front of your home where you could attach this to a pole. 👽
11. Space Candle
The product description literally says that this candle smells like outer space:! Any astronauts reading this care to confirm? 😛
This heavenly-scented candle brings a waft of outer space into your home. Inspired by descriptions from astronauts returning from spacewalks, it fills your room with its pleasant scent as it fills your head with wonder.

15. Crescent Moon Mirror 🌙
A unique and elegant alternative to your typical living room accent mirror.
16. Solar System Sidewalk Chalk
Sidewalk chalk may be for children, but when the chalk is designed like the planets in the solar system, it changes the game. I’d play with this chalk until the Earth stops spinning. 🌏
