To buy a star gift is widely considered one of the most original and heartfelt gifts. The symbol of a star carries great value amongst human beings. It reminds us of the possible eternity of our lives and the vastness of the universe. In this article we answer all questions related to buying a star.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the ultimate guide to everything you need to know about buying a star!<\/p><\/div>\n The Online Star Register maintains a database of stars within relatively<\/em> close distance of our planet. Each star has a specific set of coordinates and characters, for example: RA 13h03m33.35 -49\u00b031\u201938.1\u201d dec 4.83 mag Cen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So which constellation should you choose for the star gift you are buying? You might want to opt for a star in one of the 12 zodiacs, a constellation from your own hemisphere, or opt for a randomly assigned constellation. If you\u2019d like to find out more about the 88 constellations, please feel free to download the interactive OSR Star Finder app<\/a>.<\/p>\n Buying a star gift using our order form<\/a> is easy. All you need to do is choose a name for your star and a star date.<\/p>\n 1. The star name<\/strong> will quite often be similar to the person the star is named after, like ‘John Thomas’. Of course you can also name the star after you and your partner, so for example ‘Sam & Linda’. Each star registration will be connected to a unique star code, which means the star name doesn’t have to be unique (there can be multiple stars named ‘Sarah’ for example). Please note there’s a character limit of about 20 characters (depending on your language). If you’ve made a typo or changed your mind about the name, you can still change it before the gift pack is sent. With the Online Star Gift, there’s no deadline for changing the star name.<\/p>\n 2. The star date<\/strong> you connect to your star, can be any date in the past or future. The default choice is the present day. Popular choices are dates which relate to an occasion or event, such as the day you first met, a birthday, a wedding day, a birth, or a passing.<\/p>\n The star name and star date, along with the constellation of your choosing, are the main elements of your star registration in the Online Star Register.<\/p>\n Star page to personalize your star<\/p><\/div>\n Apart from giving the star a special star name and date, there are a number of ways to personalize the star gift. First of all, you can enter your personal message for the recipient in the order form. This message will be included in your gift pack. The second way, is by personalizing the special Star Page. You can customize this page through a special admin panel:<\/p>\n Here, or in the video below, you can learn more about personalizing your star gift with the OSR Star Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
