Gift Idea for a Kid Who Loves Space

So what on Earth do you get a kid who is a major space fan for his birthday?  A meteorite of course!  A few weeks ago while we were at a museum, I spotted a number or meteorites for sale.  They each cost $9.99 and I knew it would be the perfect gift for my son.  It's a unique gift and one that any kid who is enthralled with space things will enjoy.

I plan on picking up a couple more next time to have on hand as gifts for other kids I know who would love their own space rock! 

What other neat gifts have you come across for kids that are beyond the normal Toys 'r Us selection?
