Anyone have some good ideas for gifts for astronomers?
Things that are not equipment based but stuff most of us would probably like.

Would be great to just leave this thread open when its time for birthday or xmas for others to see

Founds these beautiful globes,
Cant decide on the moon, earth with clouds or jupiter recreation.

A genuine meteorite. Canyon Diablo nickel/iron pieces are plentiful, affordable and genuine with trusted sources easily found (avoid ebay, you might be buying a chunk of industrial waste). Sliced and etched specimens are common and very striking and eye catching. Sizes vary to suit your budget from small fingernail sizes and pendants to size of your head. Each piece is unique so availability and choices depend on the market. Own a piece of what made Meteor Crater, one of the best known holes in the planet earth. Damn straight makes a great git idea for all sorts of folks.
