Stikky Night Skies book 

Some books are meant to be kept on hand as a reference, but “Stikky Night Skies” is meant to help you learn and retain information to identify heavenly bodies, without needing to reach for the book. The small, thick book uses a learning method that employs illustrations with little text and short quizzes at the end of each section, and the publisher says that within an hour you’ll know six constellations, four stars, a planet and how to navigate at night. It’s an engaging, approachable and even fun book that would make a perfect stocking stuffer. $12, www.stikky.com

The most popular medium size is 10.5” tall, but signs come in four sizes. Starting at $135, www.ipswichrivercraft.com
