Stars will exist way beyond our lifetimes. Naming a star after someone is a heartfelt gesture that will forever remind them of your eternal connection. Every time they look up at the night sky, they will be reminded of you.

Here’s everything you need to know about naming a star after someone:

If you want to do something out of the box for a loved one you should definitely consider naming a star after them. You will never have to worry about someone else getting them the same thing and it will remain theirs forever.

Here are a few reasons why naming a star after someone is an awesome gift:

Stars burn bright for billions of years and are a universal symbol of light and warmth. By naming a star after someone, you ensure that they will remember you for a lifetime, whether you continue to be part of their life or not.

 

The night sky is the only shared experience common to all of humanity. What could be better than giving someone a gift they will have forever and can look at every night, no matter where they are?

This is perhaps the only gift where ‘forever’ actually means forever. Everything in our lives on Earth is constantly changing, but stars are quite literally forever.

When you name a star after someone, it is marked on a registry. Nobody else can name the same star again. Not only is it a unique and original gift now, but it will also stay that way forever.

During special occasions, we often get the same gift from more than one person and end up with duplicate items. There is certainly no chance of that happening with this gift!

If you are trying to tell someone how much they mean to you, naming a star after them will be a touching tribute that forever reminds them of how much you value them. It is a great original way to show your appreciation for someone you love.

Once you name a star after someone, it is entered into the star registrar. Anyone can go online and track the star on the registrar. You can then use Googly Sky to locate your star.

It is an especially romantic gift for people separated by geographic distances—you can look up your star whenever you miss your loved one.

Google Sky also lets you look at other stars and constellations, so you can spend time stargazing right from the comfort of your home. This is great for city dwellers who hardly get to see stars at night.

Technology makes everything possible. Not only can you look up your star online, but you can also take a picture and share it with whoever you want.

How great would your Instagram feed look with a picture of your very own star? You can also share the coordinates of your star and your friends can track it online too.

Receiving a great, personalized gift feels amazing, but it is even better when you can share it with your friends and family. Your loved one will really appreciate being able to share their own star, especially if they are very active on social media.

Naming a star after someone seems like an expensive affair, but you’ll be surprised to know that it can cost as little as $34.99 – available for example on

There are many ways to personalize your gift—you can choose from different packages, get a printed copy of the star certificate, name ‘twin’ stars (two stars side by side), etc. No matter what your budget is, you will surely find something that suits your needs.

 

You might be wondering, ‘how does one pick a star?’. Well, it is very easy. The whole process can be done completely online and as we mentioned, it is inexpensive and extremely simple.

First of all, you choose the constellation you want to pick a star in. The registry has a list of all the constellations and you need to pick the one you like, preferably from a constellation visible from your location.

You can also choose a zodiac sign and pick a star located in the same constellation. This is a popular option for birthday gifts.

Some services will let you choose a star by its coordinates, if it is still available. You can choose a particular star in a constellation you like, note down its coordinates and ask to name it.

Once you choose a star or the constellation you want to name a star in, you fill out other details like the dedication date, name of the star and payment details. Your loved one will soon receive the registration of their star in the mail.

There is no doubt that there is nothing quite like naming a star after someone. If you want to let someone know how much they mean to you, this is an intimate and thoughtful gift bound to tug at their heartstrings.

Naming a star after someone makes them feel special and reminds them of how much you appreciate their presence in your life. This is a great gift for many occasions—as a romantic gesture, on the birth of a child or in loving memory of someone, the list is endless.

It really does make for the perfect gift—it is original, it is not very expensive, it can be symbolic, it is thoughtful and will last a lifetime.

If you’ve been racking your brain trying to think of the perfect gift for someone, stop thinking and name a star after them. They will appreciate the gesture for years to come.
