There’s something magical about heading outside to look up at the night sky. From spotting shooting stars to identifying the Big Dipper, stargazing is wonderful way to learn about astronomy. Whether you’re an avid or backyard astronomer, you might find our Starry, Starry Night gift picks useful in making your night of stargazing even more enjoyable.

These gifts will put a smile on any stargazer’s – backyard or seasoned- face. Here are a few of our favorite starry night gifts:

Cosmic Cooking Fire Pit

Stargazing in the winter can be the best time of the year to spot stars. It is perhaps a cruel twist of fate that, just when the night air turns coldest and the wind bites most sharply, the night sky is at its brightest, clearest, and most beautiful. To help you keep warm, why not build a fire in this celestial themed fire pit!

Mini Lantern

For the best stargazing it’s always a good idea to find a dark spot, without any artificial light, but it’s also important to stay safe while walking in the dark areas.

We found this cute, battery operated mini camp lantern works well! It’s small size make it easy to pack or carry. It’s red light feature works really well for helping to see better at night.

Binoculars- 16 x 50

Did you know that binoculars can be used to stargaze? Binoculars, when held steadily (or mounted on a tripod), will give you a glimpse of the craters of the Moon, the crescent of Venus and the moons of Jupiter.

Should a bright comet come along, there is no better instrument to give you a great overall view of both the head and tail. And by just sweeping along the Milky Way, you’ll be treated to a myriad of stars.

These travel binoculars with their full rubber cover at the tubes offer a safe grip to the observers. They work well with difficult light conditions (dark evenings). They make a great gift for the new or avid stargazer and they’re easy to travel with.
