Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to getting a meaningful and personal gift for your dad, who enjoys speedcubing and competitive puzzle solving, there are plenty of options that can cater to his interests. Here are some gift ideas that are sure to make him happy on his birthday:

1. New Puzzle Set: Consider getting your dad a new and challenging puzzle set. Look for a high-quality speedcube that is specifically designed for speedcubers, such as the Rubik's Speed Cube or the GAN 356 Air. You can also explore other types of twisty puzzles or brain teasers that he doesn't already have in his collection.

2. Puzzle Organizer: Help your dad keep his puzzle pieces organized with a puzzle organizer. These organizers come with sorting trays or containers, allowing him to easily sort and store his puzzle pieces while working on them. This can be especially helpful if he works on multiple puzzles simultaneously or participates in competitions.

3. Puzzle Timer: A puzzle timer is a great gift for a speedcuber. These timers are designed specifically for timing puzzle solving competitions and can help him practice and improve his solving speed. Look for one with customizable features and various countdown modes to enhance his speedcubing experience.

4. Puzzle Mat: Give your dad the gift of convenience and organization with a puzzle mat. These mats provide a smooth surface for solving puzzles and come with built-in storage space to roll up and store puzzles in progress. This way, your dad can easily transport and continue his puzzle solving wherever he goes.

5. Puzzle-themed T-Shirt: Show off your dad's passion for puzzles with a puzzle-themed t-shirt. Look for shirts with creative designs or slogans related to speedcubing or puzzle solving. This gift will not only showcase his interests but also make him feel proud of his hobby.

6. Puzzle-solving Books: Expand your dad's puzzle-solving skills and knowledge with books on different puzzle-solving techniques and strategies. Look for books written by renowned puzzle solvers or experts in the field. From beginner's guides to advanced solving methods, there are plenty of options to choose from.

7. Puzzle Subscription Box: Consider signing your dad up for a puzzle subscription box. These boxes deliver new and unique puzzles to his doorstep every month, allowing him to continuously challenge himself and explore different types of puzzles. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is that it shows your dad that you understand and support his interests. By choosing a gift that complements his love for speedcubing and competitive puzzle solving, you are not only giving him a thoughtful present but also showing him that you appreciate and encourage his hobbies.

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