RUSS and the International Star Registry have recently partnered to launch a new program called Shining Stars which gives people the opportunity to name their very own star in the sky.
The program includes a quality RUSS plush Shining Stars Friend, identifiable by the crystal-like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad and to have your name officially recorded with a star in the sky.
You can choose from 24 different Shining Star Friends. Once purchased you simply log onto the Shining Stars website and, using the secret code found inside the tamper proof tag, you can register and name your star with the International Star Registry. The name will be officially recorded with the copyright office and the website will show an image and the coordinates of your star. This can then be printed on a certificate that verifies its exact location in the cosmos.
Young or old, anyone who receives a Shining Stars Friend will have a cherished keepsake to treasure forever, as well as their own personal star to shine brightly throughout eternity. Click on the link www.BearsAndGifts.com.au/Stars to go straight to the Stars pages.
