The adorable Solar System Ornaments are made out of [hand blown glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant). These baubles retail for $345 for a set of nine celestial planets. Including the sun and the planets (sorry Pluto), each [glass planet is hand painted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-collection). This beautiful set makes a great party gift for your Christmas-obsessed, astronomy-loving best friend or family member.

These luxurious planets capture real depth and each is its own piece of art. Even with a hefty price tag, these baubles make a great addition to any holiday tree. Created by GlassSculpture.org, the company also makes hand blown wine toppers that resemble the milky way. The stellar Solar System Ornaments are designed by B.E. Johnson and Joy Alyssa Day. Hopefully they add a Pluto ornament in there, for old time's sake.
