Gift guide · checked October 27, 2026
A short list for the person who watches every launch: our own designs, with no SpaceX or Starlink marks, and two ideas we don't sell. Prices are the store's, in its currency, and shipping is added at checkout.
Visit Store — our Printful store, opens in a new tabEvery item is printed when you order, so allow extra time. Printful hadn't posted its 2026 holiday cutoffs as of October 27, 2026. Last year, for U.S. delivery by December 25, the cutoffs were December 11 with standard shipping and December 16 with express, for both apparel and home goods. Expect similar dates, and order early.
Small, cheap to ship and hard to get wrong.
The status call every launch waits for, on a glossy white vinyl kiss-cut sticker: the design is cut through, the square backing is not, so it peels off clean. Water resistant, not waterproof; fine on a laptop or water bottle, fading in full sun over time. 3 in, 4 in or 5.5 in (7.6, 10 or 14 cm) square.
For anyone who has said "go for launch" out loud at a webcast. Laptop or water bottle; it fades in full sun.
The Pad Zero wordmark for people who were here early. Glossy white vinyl, kiss-cut with a square backing, water resistant rather than waterproof. The white vinyl means no transparent background. 3 in, 4 in or 5.5 in (7.6, 10 or 14 cm) square.
For the friend who sent you this site. White vinyl, so it shows best on a dark surface.
Something they'll use every morning before a launch.
Ten seconds to go, printed around a black glossy ceramic mug. 11 oz (325 ml) or 15 oz (445 ml). Listed as dishwasher and microwave safe, though black mugs show scratches more than white ones and hand washing keeps the print sharp. The printed black is a shade off the mug's black up close.
Sizes: 11 oz, 15 oz
Pick the 15 oz (445 ml) for someone who drinks a lot of coffee. Hand washing keeps the black print sharp.
For a bedroom, a classroom or the office of someone who talks about Mars a lot.
Our own drawing of the trip, on 189 g/m² matte paper that does not glare under a lamp. A2, which is 16.5 by 23.3 in (42 by 59 cm). Ships rolled; no frame, and the paper is not archival grade, so keep it out of direct sun.
A2, 16.5 by 23.3 in (42 by 59 cm), so budget for a frame of that size; it arrives rolled and unframed.
For watch parties and the drive out to a launch.
Printed to order on a Bella + Canvas 3001, the soft 4.2 oz (142 g/m²) combed ring-spun cotton tee with a tear-away label. Unisex retail fit: true to size but slim, so size up for a relaxed fit. Dark colors feel a little heavier where the print is; it softens after the first wash. Wash cold, inside out, and skip the hot dryer.
Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL
It runs slim. When you don't know their size, go one up; a loose tee beats a tight one.
Not from our store
The gift people remember. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex sells launch viewing for some launches; Vandenberg and Starbase have free public spots to watch from. Plan around a window of days, because launches slip.
Binoculars, a red headlamp and a phone tripod are what we would bring to a launch. Our list says what each does badly, too.
