Gifting someone a funny gift or a heart-warming present never gets old. Oftentimes, it can be quite a challenge to find a unique gift idea that is worth pursuing. So STORY SPARK is here to help! We'll keep marching on and have assembled our annual holiday gift guide. You may see a theme of distance and nostalgia in this collection of gift ideas - a combination that seems to ring true for many of us this year.
#1. Humango Toys Mars Dust Globe
The Mars Dust globe is a cosmic twist on a snow globe, encasing a detailed Mars with an adult and child astronaut. When shaken, the sphere becomes filled with a rusty red haze. This globe will be a fun addition to any desk! It's sold out on the creator's website, but we did find it on Amazon at the time of writing this.
#2. Sparko Sweets - Galaxy Lollipops
Sparko Sweets has a variety of out of this world lollipops that feature space themes. Several pieces include stars, cosmos, auroras, supernovas, planets, and more! They also have sugar free options!

#5. Rotary Calendar
A clever take on the calendar, this rotary calendar is not only practical but stylish. The calendar’s bold red, yellow, and blue colors makes its minimalist design stand out!
#6. Anything Scissors
Able to stand on their own, these scissors’ sleek design could double as an art piece. Anything Scissors are available in light grey, mint, and warm yellow.
#7. goTenna Mesh
goTenna’s Mesh innovative device breaks technological barriers by allowing users to send text messages without cell service or WiFi. After pairing a phone via Bluetooth to the device, Mesh uses radio waves to send text messages to other Mesh users.
#8. Arcade Stick
Compatible with Nintendo Switch and PC, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick offers the ultimate control over your controller. The Arcade Stick is a blank canvas allowing custom button mapping, long sequence macros and even includes P1/P2 macro buttons. This Arcade Stick is every gamer’s dream!
#9. Night Swannies
Although doctors recommend putting away digital devices 1-2 hours before bed, that’s an unrealistic goal for many people. Night Swannies by Swanwick offer stylish protection against blue light to ensure a good night's sleep. This is a perfect gift for every techie and gamer that can never seem to put their device down!
#10. Levitating Speaker
The Infinity Orb is a technologically innovative way to listen to music that defies gravity! This Bluetooth speaker levitates above its base, which flashes colors and can also be used without the base. The sphere even emits sound with a 3D surround effect!
