In our latest GGfG, we take you to space, and some of the beautiful things you can find out there. Our first gift has been featured in other gift guides, including the IFLS guides the last two years.

Joy Alyssa Day, and her partner B.E. Johnson have created a beautiful glass ornament set of the planets, and planetary bodies, in our solar system. A complete set includes all eight planets, the sun, and Pluto. They are all handblown, hang at their relative planes, and include the notable features of each planet. Including the rings of Saturn, which are etched using data from the Cassini spacecraft. And Pluto has just been updated with new data from New Horizons!
