At one point or another, everyone has wanted to be an astronaut. It's basically a rite of passage. Some of us even went to space camp! With some of us, though, that dream to see the stars and explore the universe never really died out.

If you have a NASA enthusiast as friend, then you already know that the love of space they have might be a bit obsessive at times. But, it's all good, because space travel is as cool as it gets.

That's why these awesome gifts for space lovers will make them squeal with delight — and why you might want to snap a couple of these up for yourself, too.

If you have a friend who can't get enough astronomy gifts, it may be a wise idea to give them a subtler present. That's why one of the coolest gifts for space lovers we've seen is this elegant, quirky solar orbit necklace. It features all the planets, as well as a couple of asteroids, too.

Have a friend who's a fan of Big Bang Theory, and wants to have a wardrobe to match? Then why not go for the gold by getting them a snarky shirt straight from NASA? This shirt has a little bit of space humor, and a little bit of awesome — both elements that make this a perfect gift for the proud geek in your circle.

While we can't really guarantee this will get you an inside look at NASA's lunar station, we can tell you that it will definitely get people looking at you in a new (space fan-approved) light.

Solar eclipses are awesomely impressive, and thanks to this cool ceramic, you don't have to wait another 7 years to see that corona. Just pour a little hot water into the mug, and watch as the sun and moon both show their coronas — just as you'd see mid-phase.

This is one of the best gifts for space lovers who missed the opportunity to see the nationwide eclipse a couple months back. It's also a unique gift for anyone who tends to chart the different phases of the moon...or really anyone who loves unusual natural phenomena.

If you have a friend who's in love with NASA, it only makes sense to get them gear from the OG of space travel. This official NASA logo tee shirt makes a statement about your support for astronomy, space travel, and ensuring that humanity reaches the stars sooner rather than later.

Ever wonder what it'd really be like to see foreign planets, and learn the science behind these strange new worlds? Breathtaking illustrations, real-life science, and an honest-to-goodness look at what it would be like to set foot on certain planets and moons make this one of the coolest gifts for space lovers who want a little science with their sci-fi dreams.

Another one of the neater gifts for space lovers comes from ThinkGeek, and it's an official NASA journal. This striking journal features over 100 pages of lined paper, an official logo, and gorgeous shots of our solar system as captured by New Horizons.

For fans of space-themed goods, this journal will definitely be the best accessory you could ever buy. Whether it's used for logging NASA's coolest space missions or how cute the guy in class is doesn't matter. What matters is that it's awesome. And space themed.

Space-themed goods can be really gorgeous, and this Nebula Glass Set from ThinkGeek proves it. Classy, colorful, and surprisingly beautiful, these glasses would look perfectly at home on the starship Enterprise — or your favorite space fan's personal bar.

If you've run out of gift ideas for your bestie who loves astronomy but hates kitsch, these glasses will be the best thing you can grab for them in a pinch. On a similar note, if you love the idea of drinking on the Starship Enterprise, this will be a perfect gift choice, too.

If your buddy has a casual-ish dress code, you can let him have his geek flag fly, all thanks to this nifty galaxy print necktie. It's easy to adjust, easy to wear, and has that trippy print that all the kids are talking about. What's not to love?

If you can't get enough of checking out the night sky, why not bring the beautiful Milky Way into your own home? These easy-to-apply, glowing star stickers let you get a beautiful, unearthly glow going on wherever you want.

That being said, these are also a classic toy for kids under 10. That's why they're one of the most recommended gifts for space lovers who are still not quite old enough for Space Camp quite yet.

Perhaps one of the only true "classic" gifts for space fans on this list, Astronaut Ice Cream will never cease being awesome. It's crunchy. It's freeze-dried ice cream. Astronauts eat it — or so they say. So, how can you go wrong with this? You really can't.

Not all of the gifts for space lovers have to be based in science. Fans of sci-fi movies and conspiracy theories might want to snag this awesome grey alien cellphone stand. It's a perfect size for almost every phone type, and is guaranteed to make any X-Files fan smile.

The truth is out there — and the truth is that this cell phone holder is astronomically awesome.

Perhaps one of the sweetest gift ideas to ever come with an interplanetary theme would have to be this set of adorable (and delectable) planet lollipops. Handmade with love and care, these pops are one of the best gifts for space fans with a sweet tooth.

If you love coffee and love pointing out your favorite constellations more, then you already know why this slick mug is one of the coolest gifts for space lovers. With the addition of hot water, this mug shows you all the coolest constellations you already know and love.

If you need help finding the Scorpius constellation, or figuring out where Orion's belt *really* is, you'll adore having this coffee mug by your side while checking out the night sky.
