Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who enjoys solving crossword puzzles and brain teasers, there are several thoughtful gifts you can consider that will both challenge and entertain him. Here are a few ideas that will make his birthday extra special:

1. Puzzle Subscription Service: Consider gifting him a subscription to a puzzle service, such as Puzzle Society or Penny Dell Puzzles. These services provide a regular supply of crossword puzzles, Sudoku, logic games, and brain teasers directly to his inbox or mailbox. He can enjoy new challenges every month or week, ensuring he always has something to stimulate his mind.

2. Puzzle Books: If your boyfriend enjoys solving puzzles offline, a collection of crossword puzzle or brain teaser books would be a perfect gift. Look for books with challenging themes or those compiled by renowned puzzle creators. You can even find puzzle books with a personal touch, like customized crosswords featuring clues related to inside jokes or important memories between the two of you.

3. Brain Teaser Games: Expand his collection of brain teaser games or board games that require critical thinking. Choose games like Scrabble, Bananagrams, or Set, which rely on wordplay and strategy. These games can be enjoyed both solo or with friends and family, adding a social element to his puzzle-solving hobby.

4. Crossword Puzzle Jewelry: Add a touch of creativity and sentimentality to your gift by searching for crossword puzzle-themed jewelry. You can find necklaces, bracelets, or keychains featuring tiny puzzle pieces or engraved with crossword-related phrases or sentiments. These pieces will remind him of his passion while also being a unique fashion statement.

5. Cryptic Crossword Workshop: If your boyfriend is particularly passionate about solving cryptic crosswords, consider gifting him a workshop or class to hone his skills. Many puzzle societies or local community centers organize workshops or online courses that focus on these challenging puzzles. It will provide him with an opportunity to interact with fellow enthusiasts and learn new techniques for solving even the most complex crosswords.

6. Puzzle-solving Tools: Enhance his puzzle-solving experience by getting him puzzle-solving tools or gadgets. Examples include a magnifying glass with a built-in light, a puzzle-solving pen with erasable ink, or a stylish puzzle-solving notebook to jot down clues and solutions. These accessories will not only enhance his puzzle-solving experience but also show that you understand and support his hobby.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests and shows your understanding of his passion for puzzles, you are sure to make his birthday memorable and meaningful.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
