Information

As with ALL “name a ….......” gifts, the name a star and name a rose gifts are classed as “novelty” gifts, in that the name is only recognised within the databases of the company that puts the gifts together, not by experts or anyone else in the field of astrology or gardening.

It is important to consider the above before buying these gifts, as you could just as easily buy a book about astronomy, find a specific star and name it yourself, or buy a pack of seeds and plant them in memory of your baby and just yourself name the plant that grows.

On balance we decided to add these gifts to the website, as despite the above we feel that these are really lovely comforting gifts with very informative and well put together packs. Also, many (myself included!) would find the fact that a loved one's name will be recognised somewhere else, even if it isn't on an official astrology or gardening database, a comfort and more importantly the act of finding a star or growing a rose from seed in memory of a loved one is just such a lovely idea.

You can look through the rose directory online and see all the names and certificates of the roses that have been named after loved ones and lots of people have been able to find their specific star in the night sky too.

Most companies do not include this information with these kinds of gifts, but we felt it very important to mention to help you decide if this is the gift for you or not. We hope this has been helpful.
