When you were much younger, you stood outside, gazing at the dark sky filled with endless stars. As kids, we all have this weird, wondrous obsession with space and all it holds. For some, the fascination never really goes away. Whether it’s because we feel smaller in the grand scheme of the universe, we’re curious about the scientific possibilities that the ‘final frontier’ holds, or we’ve just plain had it with Earth and want to move to Mars, space seems to have an inexplicable hold over us.
For the long-obsessed souls that just want to get lost (figuratively) in the inky black sky above, we have some products we know you’re going to love. We’ve even included some for the rest of the family so they can share in the fun with these out-of-this-world astronaut items!

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V 21309 Outer Space Model Rocket
The Apollo Saturn V is the rocket that took humans to the moon, so what could be more appropriate for this list than a 1:110 scale of the very same rocket? The kit even comes with toy astronaut figurines that you can have complete “missions.” The rocket kit includes three removable rocket stages, and after building the rocket, you can display it horizontally with the three included stands to show off your hard work!
The rocket measures around 40 inches tall and 6 inches around, and comes with almost 2000 pieces. You’ll get your money’s worth with this kit.

Enamel Pin I Need My Space Coffee Cup
Enamel pins are seriously addictive. If you haven’t gone down that rabbit hole, let this be the portal, because hey – we all need our space, right? Or maybe this would be an excellent gift for that ornery teen that keeps slamming doors and makes weird snorting noises that we can only interpret as yeses, no’s, and yuck’s, depending on the previous string of words that came out of your mouth.
The cool thing about this specific spacey pin is its double needles on the back to secure it and avoid that stupid spinny thing that so many other pins do.

Get ready to change your definition of what a book is. Photo Credit: Amazon
This Book is a Planetarium
We all think we know what a book is, right? Cover, contents, back cover. Well, this book is about to redefine all your expectations. You’ll interact with scientific concepts like light, sound, time, and space – all in the context of a beautifully vivid pop-up book. It is more than a book; it’s a tool to learn; it’s a speaker, a spirograph, a decoder ring, a perpetual calendar, and a musical instrument. It’s hard to explain, okay?
Just buy the book that’s a planetarium for $29 and see for yourself!
Of course, we couldn’t have a space-themed list without a telescope! Photo Credit: Amazon
Celestron 70 mm Portable Refractor Telescope
You aren’t a real space nerd if you haven’t longingly gazed up at the sky at least a few times in your life. With this telescope, you can do that and look like you know what you’re doing. The travel scope offers a high-quality, fully-coated objective lens, a lightweight frame, and a custom carry pack to carry everything. You’ll get two eyepieces: 20mm and 10mm for low and high power views of celestial bodies at night and even terrestrial objects during the day. The accompanying tripod can be scaled up to full height, though it is all still easy to carry when you’re traveling, and you’ll get a free download of an astronomy software program with purchase.
What are you waiting for? Start your stargazing now thanks to this epic telescope!
What’s better than a pair of space-themed socks? Three pairs of space-themed socks! Photo Credit: Amazon
‘Foot Traffic’ Themed socks
Again with the men’s thing – disregard. If you wear men’s dress socks, knock yourself out. Just know that these fit men’s shoe sizes 7-12, so if you’re of smaller foot size, these might not be the best fit for you. These socks have reinforced toes, and they’re made of a cotton blend; in other words, they’re super comfy with no toes sticking out of holes.
This trio of socks has a “phase” of the moons pair, constellation pair, and a planetary orbit pair – all adding to a trifecta of awesome for just $15.

Astronaut Foods Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Sandwich, NASA Space Dessert
If you’ve ever been to NASA, you’ve probably seen these in the gift shop. How often do we mere mortals get the chance to eat the same food astronauts in space get to eat? It’s fascinating! This OG astronaut ice cream sandwich is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate wafers, then freeze-dried using the process of lyophilization. Bet you learned something new today, huh? It removes most of the water content, making it lighter and safe for travel.
As a bonus, these ice cream sammiches are shelf-stable for up to three years!

An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth
It is an immutable fact of life that most of us, unfortunately, will never become astronauts. Col. Chris Hadfield has had the rare experience of logging nearly 4000 hours of space, and that kind of time brings a particular perspective not many of us can fathom. His book captures his unique philosophy: prepare for the worst, and enjoy every moment of it.

You could own the originally designed astronaut space pen! Photo Credit: Amazon
Fisher Space AG7 Original Astronaut Space Pen
The whole thing about NASA spending exorbitant amounts of money to design a pen that wrote underwater and upside down while other countries just used pencils is fake. Sorry to burst bubbles, but pencils tips can flake and break off. In zero gravity, any unplanned objects just floating around space capsules can harm astronauts, their life-saving equipment, and their space shuttle.
Instead, take a gander at this chrome-plated astronaut space pen. It’s the original Fisher Space Pen used on the Apollo 7 space mission after two years of testing by NASA has been used on all human-crewed space flights since. It writes in extreme conditions (-30 F to +250 F) and even writes upside down and underwater – just as promised.
And now, even the Russians use this pen in space. Buy your very own pen-astronaut here for $52.

Duck, Galaxy, Brand Printed Duct Tape
Duct tape is fantastic; we all know this. This sticky stuff can be used to fix pretty much anything. It was used on the Apollo 17’s lunar mission to tape the rear fender together- in freaking space!

Use it to color coordinate stuff around the house or just because you want space tape around!
