How To Shine As A Giver

Posted: 11/12/2010

Oprah Winfrey is a star in more ways than many realize.

(NAPSI) - You could be known as having a gift for giving if you heed a few hints:

• Suit the present to the person—but with a creative touch. Got a bookworm on your list? Give a night-light, bookmark, bookends or bookstore gift card. For home gardeners, packets of seeds, garden tools or a vase in which to show off the flowers of their labor could be the way to grow in their esteem. Make sure children’s gifts are age appropriate.

• Give the best you can. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on a gift but rather choose quality over quantity.

• Go for something unique. Give that traditional holiday symbol, a star. You could give star-shaped jewelry or a star for the top of the tree, but for a gift that transcends all demographics and socioeconomic boundaries, name a star for someone. It’s hard to find a more timely and inspirational idea.

For over 30 years, the International Star Registry has been providing gift givers with the classic and traditional opportunity of star naming. Countless celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Whitney Houston and Donald Trump, as well as dignitaries and royalty such as Princess Diana, have stars named after them. But naming a star after someone is not just for the famous—millions of everyday individuals also have stars in their names.

Naming a star is a way to give a personal gift that lasts a lifetime. The recipient gets a beautiful 12” by 16” parchment certificate with the star name, the dedication date and the star’s telescopic coordinates. You can even select the constellation, if you like. Also included is a comprehensive booklet by noted astronomer Dr. James Rickard with charts of the constellations, plus a larger, more detailed chart with the actual star encircled in red. Star names can also be featured on jewelry, also available from the firm.

All star names are published in the copyrighted astronomical compendium “Your Place in the Cosmos,” which is stored in a vault in Switzerland.

A star name can be great as a last-minute gift or for that hard-to-buy-for person. The star package arrives within five to seven days of ordering.
