The Mirabella Genio Nebula and Star Projector costs just $69, while similar models – which are top of hundreds of Christmas lists across Australia this year – will set you back anywhere from $80 to a whopping $550.

Hundreds who saw the man’s post were impressed with the projector.
But many people complained the amazing star projectors were sold out from their local stores.
‘They are sold out everywhere in Perth,’ one woman said.
‘I can’t find them in Adelaide,’ said another.
‘This looks so amazing – I am blown away,’ said another.
