Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System 42221
Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System 42221: $59.95 at Amazon

If an Artemis 2 Lego set is on your wishlist, this is the (much) cheaper of the two options available. We were really impressed and gave this build five stars in our Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System review. It's great value for money and has lots of clever Technic features.

Lego Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System 10341
Lego Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System 10341: $259.95 at Target

While it does cost $200 more than the other Artemis Lego set, it's a much more complex build with 3,601 pieces compared to 632. We've also reviewed this Lego NASA Artemis Space Launch System, giving it 4.5 stars out of 5. It's recommended for adult builders, while the cheaper set has a 9+ rating.

Artemis 2 Mission Patch
Artemis 2 Mission Patch: $9.95 at Amazon

This fully embroidered mission patch looks great and can be ironed or sewn on to the garment of your choice.

Future of Flight NASA Artemis 2 Logo Hoodie
Future of Flight NASA Artemis 2 Logo Hoodie: $38.90 at Amazon

This US-made hoodie looks good with Artemis 2 mission logos on the front and rear. It comes in a range of sizes from small to 4XL. Materials are a 50-50 blend of cotton and polyester. A zipped version is also available.

Mission Logo Mug
Mission Logo Mug: $16.95 at Amazon

Mugs may not be much use for drinking from in Zero-G, but here on terra firma, they definitely come in handy. This 15 oz model comes in deep space black and is emblazoned with the Artemis 2 mission logo on each side.

SpaceFox Flight Coffee
SpaceFox Flight Coffee: $17 at spacefoxcoffee.com

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any NASA-branded coffee for drinking from the Artemis 2 mug, but this SpaceFox coffee is the next best thing. It comes in three different varieties – Single Origin, Blend, and Flight. You can also choose from whole beans and various different grinds.

NASA Artemis 2 Dad Hat
NASA Artemis 2 Dad Hat: $26.40 at thespacestore.com

I'm not really sure why this is called a Dad Hat. With its adjustable buckle, this is a cap that will fit almost anyone. It looks great with an Artemis 2 mission logo on the front and is made from 100% chino cotton twill.

NASA Artemis 2 Sweatshirt
NASA Artemis 2 Sweatshirt: $29 at officialnasagear.com

If you're looking for Artemis 2 clothing without the mission logo, this officially licensed NASA sweatshirt is a good-looking option. It's also available in black, and hooded versions are available too.
