A name-a-star alternative
Better than naming a star
A star name looks lovely on a certificate, but nobody will ever use it and nobody can visit it. A brick on the Wall of Forever carries their name and your words, opens from one link, and stays.

What naming a star really gets you
Star-naming companies sell a name in their own registry. The International Astronomical Union, the body that actually names stars, doesn't recognise names that are bought, so no astronomer, observatory or star map will ever use yours.
What you are really giving is the certificate and the story. That can be a lovely gift. We just think the story deserves somewhere to live.
A name they can open
Their brick has its own spot on an endless wall and its own link. Open it on a phone and there it is: their name, a photo, and the words you wrote for them, exactly where you left them.
Send the link to family and friends, and anyone can visit it from anywhere. No telescope, no clear night, no squinting at the right patch of sky.
On the wall
Keep the sky in the picture
Add a photo of the night you looked up together — a beach, a balcony, a field in the middle of nowhere — and the date beside it.
The stars stay in the picture. The brick keeps the words.
What they get instead of a star
A real place
A brick with its own spot on the wall and its own link, not a line in a private registry.
Your words
Their name, a photo, a date and a message, not just a set of coordinates.
A certificate
With their name, the date it was set, and a QR code that opens the brick.
Sent in minutes
By email, a few minutes after you pay. Nothing to wrap or post, even on the day.
Paid once
From €5. No subscription, no renewal, nothing that expires.
Shared, not hidden
Anyone with the link can visit it, react to it and leave a note.
Who people give it to
Someone they love. For an anniversary or the night you met, two names on a brick say more than a star nobody can point to. Couples who want something just for the two of them often choose a digital love lock.
Someone they've lost. Many people name a star in memory of someone. A memorial brick holds their photo, their name and their dates, and friends who visit can light a candle. To send one to a grieving friend, see memorial gifts.
Someone who has everything. It is a gift for someone who has everything that takes no shelf space, and it works for Christmas, a big birthday or a newborn's first year.
Write their brick
Whose name goes on it, and what should it say? You add who it is for on the next step.
Is this a real star?
No. It is a brick on the Wall of Forever, an online wall anyone can visit from its link. Nothing in the sky changes, but your words get a place people can actually find.
Are star names you buy official?
No. The International Astronomical Union, which names stars, does not recognise names bought from star registries, and astronomers do not use them.
How do they get it?
By email, a few minutes after you pay, with a private link and a certificate. They do not need an account to open it.
Can I add a photo of the night sky?
Yes. Upload any photo and place it on the brick, then add their name, a date and your words.
Can I hand them something on the day?
Yes. If you write the brick yourself, you can print its QR card as a gift tag or postcard. They scan it, and the wall shows them what you wrote.
How much is it?
From €5 for a single brick, paid once. Nothing expires.
Give them a name they can find
One brick, paid once, kept on the wall for good.
