Buy a Piece of Moon Real Estate
We have previously featured on Iconic Gifts how you can name a star after your loved one. It’s important to see this as a bit of fun and no it won’t be the official registered name of that star, nonetheless it was an original gift idea which we like at Iconic Gifts.
So in a similar vein we spotted the “buy a piece of the moon” gift and thought umm that’s a pretty original idea too.
According to lastminute.com “they will sell you an acre of prime moon real estate for £20 - Buy one get one free - Offer ends soon.”
In their words:
“Boldly go where no gift has gone before - dedicate a whole acre of the lunar landscape to your favourite cosmonaut. This truly unique present includes your title deeds, a position guide to help identify your plot, a moon map and a whole host of astrological accompaniments. For a limited time only we’ve secured an exclusive buy one, get one free deal. This offer will end on July 03, 2006 at 17.00.”
Product details
In each pack you will receive:
* The Lunar deed - your registration document for one acre of the Moon. This is received blank and can be filled in with the owner’s name
* The Lunar constitution and Bill of Rights - details the Lunar laws and the purchaser’s rights
* Lunar map - informing you exactly where on the lit side of the Moon, your acre is located
* Declaration of ownership - a transcript filed with the Russian and US governments

Yes this should all be taken with a pinch of salt and yes your enforceability of moon ownership is tenuous to say the least but for a bit of fun and originality this gift idea is hard to beat.
