Give them The gift of the Universe (at 25% off)!
Some people are hard to shop for because it seems like they already have EVERYTHING. And yet, they don't have the Universe!
WE the Dark Rangers® DO! ...Or at least we can offer amazing views of the Universe. So team-up with us to gift the most special people in your life an educational/inspirational experience that will last a lifetime.
Isn't that a better idea than just getting them more things and stuff?

So, pick the Gift Certificate that best suits those special Earthlings in your life. Or, you can buy one for yourself. We will never tell! We will also keep it a secret that you got a 25% discount. Your recipients don't need to know a price-reduction helped inspire your generosity and this thoughtful gift. :-)

No green buy gift buttons? Try a different device?
Nobody I know deserves such an expensive gift!
Are you sure? Perhaps the greatest moments in life truly deserve momentous gifts. Know anybody:
- graduating?
- getting married?
- celebrating a pregnancy?
- getting their last "kid" out of their house?
- needing a post divorce, life-goes-on reassurance?
- starting a new job / business?
- celebrating a wedding anniversary?
- reaching a significant birthday?
- looking back at a cancer-versary?
- who should be congratulated for a sobriety milestone?
- who just could stand to benefit from the cosmic perspective?
And besides, just imagine how thunderous the applause will be at that particular party when your gift is announced and described. PRICELESS!

Am I still going to have to pay booking and transaction fees?
Yes. But that combined 6 percent it is already included in the prices quoted above. NOT just your transaction and booking fees for purchasing the gift certificate, but also those same fees the gift's recipient will have to pay.
And while that might be annoying, just think about how awesome you are, because you will have spared the recipient of your gift certificate that annoyance when they make their booking.

"Gift Certificate"? Don't you just mean a lame email with a code?
|
Not necessarily. For $5 more, we will happily customize and email you an 8" x 11" .pdf of a Gift Certificate you can print and present (or just forward as a digital document?) to your recipient.
Reply to your confirmation email with: "Please charge me $5 more for a .pdf of the Gift Certificate I purchased." |

Wait! Wouldn't these Gift Certificates make an awesome charitable donation to a charity auction?
Absolutely! And at the risk of being mobbed by requests, we the Dark Rangers, are proud to say we do exactly this ourselves -- from time to time, for causes that align with our Mission, and while supplies last.
BTW, our attorneys need us to say, "The Dark Rangers are not CPAs nor tax-preparers. Nor do they claim expertise or assume any advisory roles in such areas." However, they will begrudgingly also let say, "Your CPA may determine such a gift is eligible for a tax deduction: IF the entity is an IRS registered and recognized 501 (c) (3) which is NOT an "action organization"; AND you are ONLY claiming the purchase price AND not the actual value as your charitable donation. "
"... and do your own research!" they also want us to say that part too.

But the family I'm gifting has WAY more than 4 members!
No problem! The recipient can always purchase extra tickets paying for any extra costs beyond the value of the gift with their credit card. Also realize that these Gift Certificate values are based on adult ticket prices. Since our prices for teen tickets are ~1/2 the price of adults and our kid prices are ~1/3 that of adults, your recipient of either the Small Private Tour or the 4-ticket Public Telescope Tour Gift Certificates might be able to book 2 adult tickets and a few teen and/or kid tickets, especially if they forego some or all of the Zero Gravity Chair upgrades (4 are automatically included for Small Private Tours without affecting that Gift Certificate's value).
Alternatively, you could always purchase a 2nd Gift Certificate.

Okay, so there will be 3 Adults, 5 Teens, and 7 Kids, but only the ones who have birthdays in months without an "r" want the chair upgrades... |

Great! Sounds like you have some Math to do! That's a trade-off large families should be accustomed to.
And don't call us, we already have enough of our own math to do. :-) |
Alright! You talked me into it! But I missed the holiday discount window.
You can still book a public or private telescope tour (at full price) in somebody else's name anytime of the year (drop-down menu in banner image "Book a Tour"). You just won't get the holiday discount. Just make sure you provide us with either their email and/or mobile phone # when making the booking. That's all you...
Excuse me for interrupting! I have exactly the same question! Except that I missed the Gift Certificate holiday discount window, AND I'm still willing to pay the full price, but I don't know when they'd be able to attend, yet I also want it to be a surprise gift. And I don't know if they will even like it.
Okay... Tricky... But this would work:
Book any available night (drop-down menu in the top banner) "Book a Tour". Then email us at [email protected] with "Gift Certificate" in the subject line and the recipients name, email, and mobile phone in the body text and we will convert your purchase to "price-locked" store credit in their name and send them an access code so they can book their tour without having to pay a single dime more, even if they don't get around to doing so for years into the future.
BTW if you have friends or family who don't like astronomy...?! Well, duh! Get better friends and family!
And if they are such ingrates that a few years go buy before they use it, you could re-gift their unused discount code to somebody who does appreciate the finer things in life. Or resell the code for a tidy profit? ...assuming local laws allow. Bottom line is that unlike TSLA our "stock" never loses value!

But wouldn't It be less expensive if I waited for another winter holiday discount window?
Yes. The discount window opens each holiday season between early November thru Chinese New Year.
You don't know when Chinese New Year is? How about Duck-duck-going it?
