STAR TREK AND BEYOND!
Though it may seem silly, there is a whole section of glass ornaments based upon space and space travel themes. For the astronaut in you, or your children, you can pick up space themes ornaments or ones from sci-fi oriented shows at several places. I have been a fan of Star Trek and its many offshoots since I saw the first episodes, so Live Long and buy here! A few good shops are:
The Space Store – yes Virginia, there is a Space Store and they carry all sorts of goods as well as crystal ornaments. The space shuttle, astronauts in suit and your basic rocket are part of their collection. Granter there aren’t a lot of ornaments, but the other space oriented stuff is cool like telescopes, star maps, etc.
The Smithsonian – vintage glass ornaments based up the 50-60’s mechanical robots. Not a wide selection, but they do make you reminisce for the days prior to “Alien” and “Star Wars”. The Smithsonian has a HUGE gift shop beyond space ornaments, so do basic searches for your interests and you may find something there!
Amazon – one can find darn near anything at Amazon or its various online partners. Do a search on your favorite character, movie or book and they are sure to match you with an ornament! Star Trek ornaments are particularly popular and there are a gazillion variations with the different TV series and movies.
some fun with sci-fi christmas ornaments
Since we don’t do Christmas, Greyman and i both being humbugs, i’ll be making a mobile from mine for all year round. I was raised on sci-fi by a voraciously reading mother and these are right up my alley:}
