A good starting point for merchandise seems to me to be having a look at Star Trek merchandise, as it's a space sci-fi series aimed at a relatively close target audience to mine.
There's even an official store!
Now the merchandise for Star Trek is probably one of the most extensive of any series, so there are quite a lot of items that would be ridiculous for me to use for my merchandise. Things like kitchen wares, glassware, fragrances wouldn't make any sense for me to use, and don't really for Star Trek... But they get away with it because of the popularity of the series. People like to fill their homes with all sorts of star trek stuff!
So some things that I think would be applicable for my series are more related things, aswell as some items aimed at the younger end of my particular target audience.
Clothing
Uniforms, quotations, costumes
Accessories
School satchel
Collectables
Sticker book, fact cards, figurines
Posters
Mouse mat
Beginner telescope
Stargazer kit
satchel, notepad, pen, light, starguide
Books
Starguide, fact book, fiction
Space food
That seems to be a fairly comprehensive list of the merchandise I'd like for the series. Amazingly I don't actually think that mugs would fit in with the series... So I'll be skipping the 'go to' merchandise completely!
