A star to give at Christmas

Winter nights are long and dark, which makes Christmas a good time to give a star. It is a present for the person who has everything: a real star in the night sky, recorded under the name you choose.

Why it makes a good Christmas present

• It's different. Not another jumper or bottle: a real star with their name on it.
• It's for any age. Children, partners, parents and grandparents all enjoy it.
• It comes with something to do. Dark winter evenings are the best time to go out with binoculars and look for it.
• It lasts. From November 2026 every star has its own page on this website, so they can find it again whenever they like.

What they'll unwrap

A gift pack with a Certificate of Registry, a Star Area Co-ordinates Sheet, a welcome letter and a fold-out star chart, posted to you ready to wrap.

Order in good time

Each star is registered and the pack printed and posted after you order, so allow time before Christmas. Amazon shows the expected delivery date before you buy.

Looking for it on a winter night

Not every star is high in the sky in December. The Altitude graph on the co-ordinates sheet shows when it is best placed, and our guide explains how to find it with binoculars.
