Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys crosswords and word puzzles, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift ideas you can consider. Here are a few suggestions that might make his birthday even more special:

1. Puzzle subscription: Consider gifting him a subscription to a crossword or word puzzle publication. This way, he can receive new puzzles regularly, keeping his passion for solving alive throughout the year. There are various print and online subscriptions available, such as The New York Times crossword puzzles or Penny Dell Crosswords.

2. Puzzle board: Help him focus and stay organized with a puzzle board or mat. These boards offer a dedicated space for him to work on his puzzles without worrying about losing pieces or having to clear the table every time he needs to use it for something else.

3. Puzzle books: Look for crossword or word puzzle books that cater to his interests. There are numerous collections available that feature challenging puzzles, themed puzzles (such as sports or movies), or even puzzles from famous constructors. You may also find specialized books that focus on cryptic crosswords or brain-teasing anagram puzzles.

4. Word game apps: If your husband enjoys solving puzzles on the go, consider gifting him a popular word game app, such as Words With Friends or Scrabble. These apps offer multiplayer options, allowing him to play against friends or online opponents, adding a social element to his puzzle-solving experience.

5. Customized crossword puzzle: Create a personalized crossword puzzle just for your husband. Include clues and answers that relate to your shared experiences, memories, and inside jokes. This unique and heartfelt gift will not only challenge him intellectually but also remind him of your special bond.

6. Puzzle-themed accessories: Consider puzzle-themed items that your husband can incorporate into his everyday life. For example, you could gift him a crossword puzzle necktie, a word puzzle coffee mug, or a set of puzzle-shaped ice cube trays. These accessories will allow him to showcase his love for puzzles and add a touch of fun to his daily routine.

7. Puzzle-solving tools: Enhance his puzzle-solving experience with handy tools like an electronic crossword solver or a word game dictionary. These devices can help him find answers, solve anagrams, or check if his solutions are correct. They can be particularly useful when dealing with challenging or unfamiliar puzzles.

Remember, the best gifts are those that come from the heart and reflect your husband's passion for crosswords and word puzzles. Choose something that encourages his hobby and allows him to explore his love for linguistic challenges.

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