Ever since I can remember, I have always dreamed of being the gift of my very own star. I can't remember where I first heard about star naming, I think it may have been something that happened in a teen romance novel I once read but wherever it came from - it's something that's always stayed with me as one of the most unique and thoughtful gift ideas I've ever heard of!
Unfortunately, I have yet to be given the gift of having a star chosen and named just for me but when I recently discovered the stunning star naming gift sets available from Online Star Register - I decided rather than simply wait to receive this timeless gift, I would have the joy of gifting it to a loved one instead!
I decided to name a star for my 3 children. Every year I give them a Christmas Eve box of goodies to enjoy - usually it's simple things like hot chocolate and some new festive pajamas - but I decided that the addition of this special gift to their Christmas Eve box would be perfect.
The process of choosing and naming a star couldn't be easier. The website is so easy to use - you simply click on the "Name a star now" option and follow the prompts - you can choose which constellation you'd like your star to be in, add a personalised message and you can choose the occasion you're celebrating too so that an appropriate certificate can be sent to you to tie in with this.
I opted for a Christmas greeting, and I chose a star in the Virgo constellation as this my own star sign and it seemed fitting that a star named after my 3 children should sit within their Mothers constellation.
The whole process takes no more than 10 minutes from start to finish, and within a week I had received my beautiful package. You can choose from a number of different options for your gift - starting from an online package which includes a downloadable certificate, personal message and constellation fact sheet as well as access to the OSR Star Finder App which enables you to locate your star. This is an ideal choice for those needing a last minute gift which is sure to impress! There is also an OSR gift pack which includes a physical presentation pack that you will receive in the post, comprised of a personalised star certificate and letter, a detailed revolving star chart and glow in the dark star sticker, or you can opt for the Super Star Gift - which is what I went for.
I was honestly so impressed with the beautiful design of the gift set - every detail was stunning, from the elegant box to the little gifts inside which include a telescope and a beautiful star-themed miniature globe, as well as a Fly Me To The Stars VR viewer and superstar poster as well as the star certificate.
The quality of every item is just stunning, and so beautifully presented that looking through it honestly brought a tear to my eye. I can't wait to see my children's face when they receive this gift on Christmas eve, I doubt they will be aware that naming a star is a "thing" and I know they will be totally blown away!
If you're looking an elegant and timeless gift for a loved one, I can't recommend Online Star Register highly enough.
