With less than 40 days left until Christmas, it’s the perfect time to start hunting for out-of-this-world presents. 

To help you, we’ve pulled together 8 space themed gifts from our shop at Thinktank - perfect for the little space explorers in your life. You don't have to visit Thinktank to visit the shop. If you just want to come in and take a look for gifts, you will find us on the ground floor at Millennium Point. Don't forget to check out our online shop too.
