Then you somehow got older and more boring with your decorative choices. Let’s fix that and bring back the magic with some space.

2) Earth blanket

Is that global warming? No, it’s just fleece. These soft blankets also come in Jupiter and Mars, so you can orbit with the coziness around your house. The photos were all taken by NASA, so this is as close to space as you can get without leaving your living room.

Just because it’s not your planet, doesn’t mean it’s not a planet. Typical Earthlings. This comfortable decor serves a dual space in your planetary and Star Wars fandoms.

Instead of banging your head on your desk, you could stare at this replica of Earth and wonder how the world feels so small when the solar system is so big. The motor runs on contertorque from Earth’s magnetic field and low-light power cells.
