Five Star Gift Ideas

For your dad, who enjoys crosswords and Sudoku puzzles, I have a couple of thoughtful gift ideas that will enhance his puzzle-solving experience and show him how much you understand and appreciate his hobbies.

1. Puzzle Book Subscription: Crossword puzzle and Sudoku enthusiasts can never have enough puzzles to solve. Consider gifting your dad a puzzle book subscription, where he will receive a new book of puzzles every month or quarter. This way, he will always have fresh and challenging puzzles to keep him entertained.

2. Puzzle Board: Solve puzzles comfortably and easily by giving your dad a puzzle board. These specialized boards come with a smooth surface and compartments to hold puzzle pieces, ensuring that the puzzle stays organized and doesn't get accidentally disturbed. Some puzzle boards also include a cover so that your dad can take a break and resume his puzzle-solving without having to start from scratch.

3. Puzzle Mat: Puzzle mats are convenient for dads who like to work on larger puzzles or enjoy doing puzzles in different locations. These mats allow your dad to roll up the puzzle in progress, without losing any progress, and store it until he is ready to continue. The mat also provides a smooth surface for easy puzzle assembly and prevents the pieces from sliding around.

4. Crossword or Sudoku Customized Gift: Consider creating a personalized crossword or Sudoku puzzle for your dad. You could include clues or words that are meaningful to him, like family members' names, favorite hobbies, or inside jokes. There are websites and apps available that allow you to easily create customized puzzles, which you can then print out and gift to your dad. This thoughtful and personal gift will not only give him a puzzle to solve but also bring a smile to his face.

5. Puzzle Accessories: Help enhance your dad's puzzle-solving experience by gifting him some puzzle accessories. These can include items like puzzle glue or frames to preserve and display his completed puzzles, puzzle organizing trays or boxes to keep the pieces organized, and magnifying sheets or highlighter pens to aid in solving those tricky puzzles.

Remember, your dad will appreciate any gift that shows you've put thought into his interests and hobbies. By choosing a gift related to his love for crossword and Sudoku puzzles, you're not only acknowledging his passions but also giving him something that will bring him joy and relaxation.

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

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
